@orrery Dr. Weller really reads to me like someone who's mind decided to optimize for Science! at the expense of all others, which is why he's both so eccentric, but also secretive and hard to bond with.

But I really think he's got such a good, caring heart. Or had, as it were. I think Caliban will let more of that heart show through than Weller did or knew how to.

@orrery Well, RTASA has some clues in the environment if you're paying attention. The overly-magnaamous business guy with all the intel is giving RTASA money for colinization efforts (you can see some plans on his holodisplay as he greets team gen:Lock

As far as I can discern, the ESU is still part of the Polity's Military industrial sector, but much more R&D focused like DARPA is/was.

And yeah, more Dr. Weller would be nice.

@orrery Whoops! i mis-stated and mixed up the Union (the bad guys, the ones I was talking about) and the Polity (the good guys, with the military arm The Vanguard (where the heroes are from))

@orrery My biggest personal disappointment with gen:Lock is how the Polity isn't given any sort of explanation, specifically their motivations, transgressions, or reason for their hostile expansion. A lot can be inferred, just from what is shown on screen, but a geo-political overview would've been helpful.

Also, I really don't like their name. if they're going to be morning cartoon levels of evil, they should have an evil organization name.

@mawr Also, i'm the worst person to be asked about style and aesthetics. I've got horrible taste and what most people consider "Good" seems so arbitrary to me to the point of incomprehensibility.

@Hi_cial@snouts.online exactly

@InTheLandOfTheRisingSun A miserable pile of secrets! But enough talk, lets fight!

Oh no. Unlimited characters under CW has gone away. Shit. I used that a lot.

@mawr Depends on how that heat is being emitted in the first place. The easiest way would be to capture it using an insulated containment system, so that more energy is captured and not lost to diffusion or bleed.

Personally, I'd use thermocouples hooked up to a battery to convert the heat into stored energy.

Other ways would be using the heat to convert water into steam to turn turbines, which generate power to turn motors to turn bigger turbines.

@Hi_cial@snouts.online Nerd sniping for me is when I focus on something utterly, to the point where I can't think about anything else.

Not doing so good tonight. Can someone engineer or nerd snipe me so I can think about anything else besides my own inadequacy?

I wanna screm, I wanna cry, work eats my soul, it’s hard to try.

I'm feeling very lost today. My navigation data seems to be very corrupted. I'm not sure where I am, how I got here, what I'm doing here in the first place, where I want to be going, and where I should be going.

I hope I've made someone's day better if they've thought about me today.

@orrery Dammit bird tag your porn!

@orrery Could be worse. Could be hailstorm in Seattle in June
