I think most species probably align themselves to either the galactic plane or prominent orbital plane of the local star system.

the “up” & “down” directions would be completely arbitrary, though. there’s no reason to think everone would decide on a standard for those.

and species without that certain sense of appropriateness, or an overt dedication to logic, would likely not bother with a standard orientation. and especially when in orbit over a planet, I think everyone would orient their “down” towards the surface.

having a rank named for you is literally more recognition than Harry actually got.

I used to hate early access - why should we pay to test an unfinished game, when that’s an actual job that people get paid to do?

but I’ve come to recognise that it’s am important avenue for funding for many developers, and tbh, I don’t think any of the early access games I’ve played have felt “incomplete” - perhaps lacking polish, perhaps in need of more content, but that’s true of many full releases, and early access not only gets you these games at a reduced price, it effectively guarantees a large amount of free DLC as the game gets made more complete.

my only real complaint now is sometimes I like early access features which end up getting cut from the finished game.

Tuvix was an atrocity and extinguishing it would have been morally correct even if it had not resulted in numerically more living beings.

I can’t say I’m surprised. I was wondering whether I should jump in on day 1, since I played C:S 1 pretty heavily, and want to support the devs, but this definitely means I’ll be waiting at least a few patches.

I’m pretty sure you call Sisko ‘father’, as in:“forgive me father for I have sinned…”

this suggests that the “Janeway”, while not strictly the right way, it’s also notably not the wrong way to do the thing.

consider how often the enterprise threatens to explode, compared with how often they encounter issues with the transporter, and Geordie isn’t exaggerating. he just isn’t telling the whole story.

I wonder if the verb Google will stay with us when its origin is lost in history

I’ve seen lots of people who say they’re from China, but they all look just like Japanese people, can I really just take them at their word?

oh yeah, the image works fine when I open it, but kbin gets wacky previews from some sites.

what on earth is that preview image?

Harry did make captain in the alternate timeline where voyager took 21 years to get home.

spock, getting news of his father’s death: “Sarek. Sarek is dead.”
humans: “my god, man, could you show just a hint of feeling?! he was your FATHER!”
vulcans: “good god, spock, rein yourself in! your eyes almost look moist!”

mmmm spaghetti code

wait, for real? why? 🤨

A lot of timberborn.

I can’t allow myself to use the speedup controls in games, and I’m playing iron teeth (newly revamped) but for some insane reason I’m not letting myself build engines, and i made droughts longer, so basically 50% of the time i have no power and all my bots don’t work.

Lol

Tried grim dawn?

Right? I feel like this warrants criminal charges
