Comment on How does everyone feel about immersive simulation games? Anyone have any sim recommendations that aren't Arkane? in ~games

The only voice line in game was the base saying "welcome aboard, captain", otherwise there was no PDA talking to you about your cardio stats, no audiologs from other survivors, no Sunbeam coming to rescue you, no weird aliens trying to communicate. Just silence and the sounds of the ocean. It was peak immersion. Complete isolation on a horrible alien planet with no hope of rescue.

It was originally designed to use helium, but the U.S. had put restrictions on helium export and thus hydrogen was much cheaper and more obtainable.

Comment on Chinese embassy to Denmark wants Jyllands-Posten to apologize for publishing a drawing that depicts China's flag with virus symbols instead of five stars in ~news

Meanwhile Jyllands-Posten's Twitter is being flooded by Chinese spam from accounts created this month, posting several variations of the Danish flag poorly edited with badly translated text saying stuff like "dirty white pig, wild viking" and making fun of Denmark's quick defeat in WWII.
It was discussed on the radio this morning, where the hosts mostly laughed at the shabby "meme-war" that Jyllands-Posten has dragged us into. -

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the books that I've read so far, as before reading them I mostly just thought of them as haphazard explanations of the tabletop rules. They're actually really good, good enough in my opinion to stand on their own even if you didn't just read them as a Warhammer fan.
Just finished up the first book in the Horus Heresy series (out of 53!) and also the Path of the Dark Eldar series.
I might start reading the Culture by Iain Banks afterwards.
I wonder what she would think of Muad'dib's throne room from Dune Messiah
