All of Firefly and Serenity... They has the awesome in spades.

[RedKing]

Just watched Serenity again. I just noticed something at the end I somehow missed before...

Spoiler: minor spoiler (click to show/hide)

When Kaylee and the doctor start getting it on at the end, River is hanging from the ceiling, watching them.

Yeah, I noticed that. She's probably just curious about the kinesthetics involved. And probably devising a terrifyingly more efficient method (like how she tried to "fix" the Bible -- one of my favorite bits of writing in the whole series)

Book: What are we up to, sweetheart?
River Tam: Fixing your Bible.
Book: I, um...
[alarmed]
Book: What?
River Tam: Bible's broken. Contradictions, false logistics - doesn't make sense.
[she's marked up the bible, crossed out passages and torn out pages]
Book: No, no. You-you-you can't...
River Tam: So we'll integrate non-progressional evolution theory with God's creation of Eden. Eleven inherent metaphoric parallels already there. Eleven. Important number. Prime number. One goes into the house of eleven eleven times, but always comes out one. Noah's ark is a problem.
Book: Really?
River Tam: We'll have to call it early quantum state phenomenon. Only way to fit 5000 species of mammal on the same boat.
[rips out page]
Book: River, you don't fix the Bible.
River: It's broken. It doesn't make sense.
Book: It's not about making sense. It's about believing in something, and letting that belief be real enough to change your life. It's about faith. You don't fix faith, River. It fixes you.

that was the most hilarious moment of the series, i agree XD, though, i would read her version of the Bible XD

I think I loved it because it both pointed out all the ludicrous paradoxes and inconsistencies....and yet got to the core of what religious faith really is about. That's why Book was such a badass character IMHO...he wasn't just pretending to be a man of faith. He genuinely was one. (made all the more interesting by the fact that Ron Glass is a Buddhist in real life).

Spoiler: Finally got a plane together that can fly, land, and take off again, without breaking. (click to show/hide)

What's the thing hanging off the bottom?

Which makes me ask myself: Take off and land where?

[Rose]

It can land anywhere there's ground.

The front winglet on the bottom is for holding the wheel at the right height.

Dang. I need to update my copy of KSP. There's obviously been a few changes.

[Euld]

Are you flying in space? 

[Rose]

Nope, low atmo flight, cruising height of about 5-6 km

[Dutchling]

KSP is multiplayer now?

[Rose]

No, it's still singleplayer. probably will stay that way, unless mods.

Spoiler: And fuck yes, I made it to the polar icecap. (click to show/hide)

So...many....ellipses!

I ramble when I speak. I ramble when I write too, but use ellipses to help break apart the run-on-sentences... they create a longer pause than a comma, but shorter than a semi-colon or period. There's a very careful hierarchy of punctuation here, all meant to create the authentic "Let's Listen To Solifuge Ramble" experience. That, and ellipses just make me happy.

I was actually making fun of FF7. They abused the shit out of the ellipsis.

You were aiming for the ballparks with that... joke.

This made me somewhat happy. It's got a text-based chat feature. I'm considering running a Fallout-inspired Mutant Future campaign with it. Anybody who's interested PM me, and I'll let you know when I've got it set up.

[Wrex]

I like how they used Advice Wolf for the wolf figurines .

I've been ruminating on a 4e campaign.... But I have no irl friends, so that kinda collapsed on itself....
