    ARC Raiders - PvEvP Extraction - Listen, Loot, Shoot, and Scoot

    I thought Penny Arcade's take on it was interesting - I haven't tried out the new mode, myself.

    Disgraced eMudhra drops out of TLS business following certificate debacle

    Probably a silly question, but wouldn't having 1 (or 2, or 3) digit numbers, when everyone's expecting you to have 116 digits potentially (I mean, it obviously didn't, but theoretically) make things more secure; just because why would you even try "4" as an answer? It's so far out of the range...

    Gaming thoughts, bite-size chewables - new orange flavor!

    Writeup of the last couple of days of my so-far longest Project Zomboid run: 24 days, 1 hour. Hopefully the next survivor will last even longer.

    Gaming thoughts, bite-size chewables - new orange flavor!

    Since the official thread hasn't been touched since 2023, I think I'll just post my Project Zomboid thoughts here, rather than resurrect it. I've only just picked up the game a month ago, but I'm loving how it's just such a great story generator. After a couple of false starts (including one...

    Gaming thoughts, bite-size chewables - new orange flavor!

    While I've had an Amazon Prime subscription for years now, and I've taken advantage of their Prime Gaming (apparently renamed Luna at some point) perks for a while now, I'd never actually tried any of their streaming game services. Anyway, long story short: they've got Dispatch available, and...

    After seven years, a spacecraft company is releasing its Otters into the wild

    Does this infer that they're planning (very long term, presumably) on setting up some kind of comet mining or orbital fuel bunkers?

    Trump rejects AI slowdown calls, launches “AI Force” instead

    Why must everything this administration does be so ... dumb?

    Gaming thoughts, bite-size chewables - new orange flavor!

    I always just assumed that in these types of fantasy universes that there's probably dozens of "chosen ones" - most of them just live short, brutal lives before being put down by the Big Bad. Can't afford to be giving away good steel to every farm bumpkin whose tiny village got burned down by...

    SpaceX sets launch date for first Starship orbital flight

    I'm a little disappointed that they're not going for full recovery of the entire ship, even as a stretch goal; but I suppose baby steps are best - getting V3s and Starship into orbit will still be amazing to watch.

    Post Political Cartoons Here -- Read the OP Before Posting

    No, I literally was not sure if it counts as a political cartoon. I thought it did, but if it was decided it wasn't political enough, I'd take it down.

    Post Political Cartoons Here -- Read the OP Before Posting

    Since the comic isn't explicitly signed, it's apparently penned under the name "Me Getting Killed"

    Trump admin calls for more spaceports to handle surge in launches

    While the stated goal of 1,000 flights per year is ridiculous, I'm not against increasing launch facilities and infrastructure. Not sure where they're planning on putting this new facility, since it was my understanding that pretty much all the land that's good for launching rockets is already...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader - Release Dec 7

    250 is high - I finished the game on my first run (without DLC) in 148.

    SpaceX’s orbital data centers would create a new category of e-waste

    At that point, wouldn't it make more sense to just build the datacenters on the Moon? Why turn them into satellites?

    Blood Bowl 2 2026 - If I paint de ball red, does it t'row fasta? (Interest Check)

    For what it's worth, Dark Elves are the least flimsy of the elves. You still need to be careful, but they don't go splat if you look at them funny, like Wood Elves.

    The Block Party, "Everyone's invited. Nobody's leaving." An Ogre team, has joined the Summer Slay'em. We expect shenanigans... shenanigans and BLOOD.

    Blood Bowl 2 2026 - If I paint de ball red, does it t'row fasta? (Interest Check)

    Rot, Ruin & Touchdowns defeats the Under-Dallas Degenerates 3-0, in a game where we learn that Skaven without gutter runners are a very brittle team. The Degenerates were down 3 injured players in the 1st half, and took another injury in the 2nd half; while constantly having several KO'd...
