Glad to hear it. Synopsis finally joined the 2000s. Good news!

Never trust a company to charge something reasonable for services rendered, especially when they can mask it behind obfuscated language like some companies do (I’ve seen one accuse REST users of “screen scraping”, I shit you not).

This is the sort of thing I’ve been wondering about for a long time. The APIs that these third-party apps use are just, effectively, Web interfaces (usually something like SOAP or REST). So any time you open a forum in an app, you’re hitting up the site with dozens, if not hundreds, of Web requests.

This almost sounds like a jab at NASCAR’s “overtime” rules. I don’t care either way, but appreciate full disclosure if that’s the case (as in, “Following NASCAR’s lead is a dangerous precedent”).

Culp was my favorite part of that series, much as Avasarala was my favorite part of The Expanse. I’m pretty sure if that series was made in the modern era that Culp would have been dropping F-bombs by the dozen.

I could never manage the Battletech pods, just no coordination on my part. But I did fairly well in the Red Planet races (the one with the “illegally modified hovercrafts”).

I guess “so okay” should have been in sarcasm quotes, my bad.

Hm, something something bleeding talent something something hafta prioritize something something sure they’ll buy it

Team17 has been around so long(over 30 years!) that I thought “Indy game developer” couldn’t be accurate. But that’s straight from their web page so okay.

Pretty much on board with this. I’ve spent a lot of time recently bouncing back and forth between V and VI and I just don’t enjoy VI nearly as much as I want to. Some stuff I just ignore or, if I can, turn off. But even then, V is much more enjoyable in the long run.

They billed the Space Shuttle as a “Space Truck” when they were rolling it out. So OF COURSE it’s in.

The past project my old man and I worked on together before he died was a 1965 Corvair Monza resto job. We never finished (heart attack for him, and I shipped out to the Navy) but I have a soft spot in my heart for that year.

I realize this isn’t an internet vid per se, but James May’s Veyron run to 250 mph is a cracking good video. The concept, the presentation, all of it. Other than having to look at Jezza for more than 10 seconds, anyway.

Somewhere out there, Henry Gibson just got the weirdest boner.

An isekai, which literally translates as “different world” or “otherworld,” is a genre of storytelling typically found in anime like Sword Art Online and The Jobless Reincarnation. The usual structure of an isekai story revolves around its main character getting teleported into a new world. Usually that world has…

I can’t even afford the deposit required to walk into the same room as one of these guys, but if they waived it, it would be the Bugatti Veyron - any flavor. The absolute insanity of these things. I couldn’t afford the maintenance costs of even running it 10 minutes a day to bask in the sound of the engine - but I…

“Developed by privateer space agency Space X, the Merlin engine...”

Putting in a word for metalflake.  It’s been over 50 years. It’s time.

See, that’s the other problem. Supply chain issues.
