I can visualize this so clearly and it feels like a fever dream

Same when I got on ocd meds. Love being able to go and do a thing without compulsively making lists of every other tasks that I could be doing.

Economics is just psychology masquerading as a hard science

Rents are skyrocketing because demand is high and we literally do not have enough housing for the number of people we have in the places they live.

Suddenly dumping more money into the economy would just increase the price bar on that demand, and prices would go up more.

Prices can increase for a lot of reasons, and going up from one doesn't stop them from going up from another.

I remember I'd just happened to buy a resin 3d printer, and so had bought a few masks to use for that. I got into printing and painting Warhammer because of the pandemic. Still have a a small army that's entirely printed and about 3/4 painted from that time.

Similarly, from an engineer's perspective, scientists are a great addition to the working group when you need to find the flaws in the system, but awful when you actually just need something to go into the real world and work 80% of the time ;)

Especially when you're time constrained.

They could store the families in a separate underwater bunker built on the ruins of a death cult's sunken wizard tower too.

Program management system for the entire division? Excel. "Agile" task tracker? Excel. Requirements manager? Oh no no, that one's written in a word document with no version control. I have trauma. Use tools made for the thing you want to do, please.

Next up, they're going to go scream at the girl scouts on the corner that they're being exploited

The 14th is a reconstruction amendment btw, it wasn't drafted or ratified by the founders.

The room is pitch black, you're relying on dark vision, and you just failed your perception check. I can definitely see this happening outside of bad DM'ing, and I think the PC being sus of a blank room in an otherwise dangerous dungeon could also be in character.

 

All I want for Christmas is an East Coast bullet train.

DSM Planetary HQ (lemmy.world)

One more for today. Planetary HQ for the DSM faction. This is my third run through setting it up as the last two servers went kaput, so the buildings are all blueprinted and pretty easy to throw down and build with nano build & repair.

I'm a slut for infrastructure.

The most heavily armed and outfitted variant of DSMs most populous ship, the Jackknife Destroyer. This version has a spinally mounted rail gun as well as a frame shift drive for long distance travel. Unpressurized and configured for a crew of up to 3.

So simple and so tasty, just started making these recently.

Feel free to remove if this isn't quite a cocktail enough. Thought this was the community of people who'd be most likely to want to give it a try.

No idea if the image embed is working. Finally uploading a lot of my faction's ships and RTS-esque buildings to the workshop after a "no pen testing" agreement with the other faction on our server. Probably will try to post them through over the next couple of days.

Figured I'd post my favorite space tech/engineering podcast. These guys are great.
