[Flying Dice]

About half of the AI ship classes are, most of the military ones and a couple of the biggest commercial ones. Basically they just have a hidden compartment with a thruster aimed at a few warheads such that if you try to change the ship's vector the warheads will be detonated.

makes you wonder how they flew it in the first place

[GiglameshDespair]

With a great deal of trepidation.

Bleh, my mouse is starting to die. Every single button except for the scroll-wheel button(which I barely use) is starting to double-click or lose contact while being held down. It's about a year or two old, so it's had a decent life.

It's main issues are that the game doesn't really give you goals other than "build enough to survive", and the physics can freak out in multiplayer. If you can make some of your own Fun, and you can accept that network play is going to be a bit wonky, it's a great game.

I don't play multiplayer in most games and I just like to be able to build shit, so that sounds pretty good.

Thanks for the advice, guys.

My 7 year old laptop apparently has a switch on the side that disables the network connector. This is the first time I have ever encountered it with the switch turned off. That was less than fun.

I didn't say "wickedly buggy" I said "Wicked buggy".

Well, I just had one of the worst nights ever. Around midnight or so, my stepdad's sister comes around, pounding on the front door. This sets the dogs off into a violent fury onto each other. During the attempt to separate them - which was hard because my stepdad was making it worse; beating them with sticks, spraying Lysol in their eyes, at one point trying to shoot them with a gun(he missed, but I don't know what worse, that he shot at them, or that he missed) - anyway, she told us that my stepdad's son and one of the family's drug-addict friends was in a car accident. We later learned that the son died and the other guy might not make it(I don't know what his condition is now).


Right now, my stepdad is in full self-destruction mode. He's constant ranting at the dogs, threatening them and trying to force them into his truck so he can take them to be put down. For the dogs' credit, they're not budging. I also found several empty beer bottles on the bathroom counter that weren't there before.

[Tack]

I don't suppose you can take the dogs and disappear to a friends for a few days?
Not sure if that's a good idea or not but I like dogs on principle.

[Frumple]

... well, if nothing else, you've now plainly explained why those dogs attack each other from time to time. Also probably have grounds for an animal cruelty charge or three, if you particularly felt like it.

Seriously though, if anyone in my family sprayed fucking lysol into an animal's eyes, I'm pretty sure the rest of the family would put them in the hospital. Either a mental one or in traction, one of the two. That's not even an exaggeration or joke for effect, shit would get violent real fast if that sort of animal abuse was caught

So, in order to fight the massive lack of anything edible, Venezuela's government is now going to... Force people to work in fields

Sweet sweet socialism, now with state enforced slavery.

At that point I think it's evolved to communism.

[Teneb]

"socialism"

Truth is, Maduro went full Glorious Leader mode.

Anyway, unless there's an internal revolution no one will do anything about it. Not while sweet, sweet oil keep flowing.

Yeah thats sucks really bad for me. Since I live in this joke of a country. In principle is only temporary for 60 days, with a maximum extention of 60 days more. But our government is not precisely famous for following the laws, in letter nor spirit, even when they are the ones making them.

Good luck with all that, man. Hope things get better for you.
