Potential gen:LOCK spoilers 

@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.

@starkatt You should have an option for "Read it as a kid, as an adult, and have spent adult money re-purchasing copies"

Cause that's me. I love those books. I got so disappointed when i tried to find Dolphin Bay in my coffetable Rand McNally atlas as a kid. I was so convinced that the place was real.

Still haven't really gotten over that heartbreak all these years later.

@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.

CW test 

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

Head enery containment 

@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.

Friday Mini RP! (CW: Huskybots) #storythreads 

A Gamma-class Huskybot platform (quadruped, motorcycle sized) is your companion. She agreed to assist you, and defend you, and provide transportation while you are attempting to complete your quest.

She'd like to know what else they need to bring along to give you the best chances of success?

"Oh what a lovely name!"

"Thank you, I forged it myself."

lewd request 

@SuperCee@plush.city *The Axiom-Class huskybot carefully lowers itself to your level, a ladder extending from the side of its muzzle while the transparent cockpit canopy opens, inviting you to climb inside*

@fluxom_alt Having a sweater and not needing it is way better than needing a sweater and not having it!
