Views from inside the Cupola are usually spectacular. This is certainly no exception!

Well, I went and got a phone. An HTC Desire 320. Cheaper than most of the options, and not too large to fit in a pocket. Seems alright so far. Touch keyboard is weird to use. Oh well.

I believe the Saturn V's guidance computer operated at around 2MHz, not 1Hz. Source: Saturn Launch Vehicle Digital Computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I think it's been a long, long time since computers could only complete one cycle per second. 1Hz is very, very slow. Basic arithmetic...

You can give it an emissive texture, but it cannot illuminate other bodies. Light in Orbiter is global - always from the central star to the focused vessel. A few social media websites do that. Hell, even Skype added half a dozen former employers from my 'friend' list because of ancient...

I may be getting a smartphone soon to replace my old flip phone. I know nothing about smartphones; never owned one or used one. Any recommendations?

Did you feel my cringe at the misused comma in the caption? :(

If the armoured veteran squads in Xenonauts can be thought of as Space Marines, then I've just started using auxiliary Imperial Guard squads as entertainment backup. Basic armour and laser weapons. 50% and higher casualty rate. How fun horrible. :)

According to what? I suppose making one the size of a planet would pose some challenges...

1000 to go, meatbags. Which also leaves us with a few odd examples. Riddle me this: "Butterfly."

Man, that's what my horoscope was last year. They're awfully boring these days.

No, the interest died pretty quickly. And at this point, my satellite connection would prohibit me from playing in my own server (ping hovers around three seconds), so I'd rather pass that torch to someone else.

Weird place for reaction control thrusters. They're firing into the surface of the spacecraft.

We're at 97 cents (CAD) a litre here. It's a magical thing, watching the volume increase faster than the cost. I'm sure it'll bounce back with interest in the near future, though.

I suppose because 'shoulder' isn't as impolite as 'armpit' and doesn't need a more polite alternative, or something like that.

On a voyage deep into space. It's getting a little repetitive. Brown dwarf, brown dwarf, brown dwarf, red dwarf... The payoff should be pretty good, though. I want that Asp!

No, that's definitely a left roll. The only problem with the gif is the travesty of the visual pun. :P

I started playing Xenonauts three or four days ago. I now have 14 hours in-game. I'll let this speak for the quality of the game, and the excellent gameplay style of X-COM-alikes in general.

Yeah, that was a bit of a bummer. I've been very much enjoying Solo mode, though.

It's not often I laugh out loud over something on the Internet, which is what I did for nearly half a minute. :rofl:

Wow, that is a goldmine of cool mission patches. I never knew they were that they were that crazy. "NOTHING IS BEYOND OUR REACH" :lol:
