I get the feeling that modern movie studies are absolutely terrified of making anything remotely original\risky. It's gotta have pre-existing content and absolutely HAS to be made into a "cinematic universe".
It seems all the execs forgot someone's gotta come up with an original idea at some point.

gimmemahlulz Unless you're in a military service, then they quite literally do. Or you're the average American who's living paycheck to paycheck than even loosing a single one due to moving jobs could mean...nobody has a gun to your head
Unless you're in a military service, then they quite literally do.
Or you're the average American who's living paycheck to paycheck than even loosing a single one due to moving jobs could mean homelessness or just straight-up not eating for a week or two.
Not everyone is privileged with wide job prospects and the ability to move.

Comment on What's your take on capital and corporal punishment? in ~talk
gimmemahlulz I think capital punishment has no place in a society that doesn't have a 100% accurate legal system, simple as that. Because even if it's 99.9% accurate, that's still creates a lot of room to kill...I think capital punishment has no place in a society that doesn't have a 100% accurate legal system, simple as that. Because even if it's 99.9% accurate, that's still creates a lot of room to kill people that are innocent. And death, unlike life in prison, is not reversible.

It doesn't have any of gphotos fancy AI features (collages, memories, etc etc) but I never used them so I find what it does provide more than adequate.

Love this game, but man the progress for the last set of elevator parts has killed two separate 150 hour+ saves for me. It's probably just how I build it, but seeing as I'd basically have to duplicate my current factory to supply the parts, it feels like such a massive wall to climb over that I just cant bring myself to keep playing. :(
I think I may try again in a while, approaching these things from a different angle, but right now I have zero interest. Especially since my main form of transit (centrifugal hypertube accelerators) have stopped working with update 8.

When you auto-fill a username/password on a site, you can then immediately ctrl+v to paste the auth code without having to do anything extra. Save time and frustration!

Comment on US Air Force is preparing to deploy bombers to Norway for the first time – detachment of B-1Bs, accompanied by 200+ personnel, is set to arrive at Ørland Main Air Station in ~news
gimmemahlulz Can I just say, from the perspective of an military person, that this would be a really, really, sick deployment? Kinda jealous of my brothers and sisters in the air-force.Can I just say, from the perspective of an military person, that this would be a really, really, sick deployment?

There's a few I can think of:
Stellar Drive only played the first demo, being made buy a single guy. You build ships and fly them, I think the newest builds have wiring and stuff?
Starship Evo A bit more fleshed out, same idea but also comes with pretty comprehensive wiring/programing afaik. Again, it's been a while.
NEBULOUS: Fleet Command As the name implies, a hard core space RTS. You can make custom warships or use pre-built ones. Simulates A LOT. For instance, there's a whole fleshed out e-war aspect to it, with radars, jammers, etc.
Avorion My personal favorite on this list, extremely flexible build system, you can make basically anything you want (check out the steam workshop for ideas) and the game is fun to boot! It's a kinda generic space 4x but does have a neet little story.
Starmade Essentially minecraft in space (terribly descriptive, I know) with 12-sided planets. Kinda funky, but you can build pretty cool ships and all the blocks matter. IMO Avorion is better, but YMMW.
And last but not least, if you don't need to see your ship:
Aurora a one man show, EXTREMELY in-depth 2d/spreadsheet simulator 4x game. This thing blew my mind when I first found it. Check out some lets plays to get an idea for what it actually is.
There's also a bunch more on steam if you just search for space sim, quite a few restrict you to 2d but may be worth checking out.
