The main reason why I wanted KSP2 was because of the colony-system. I would love to have a more vanilla experience of building colonies which can build rockets - too many times have I tried it with modded KSP only to see my colony spontaneously disassemble after crashing into terrain upon being within physics range.

Yes-ish. Updated graphics/reskin was the original idea, but this changed to add some long-wanted features. This is where the problem began: The reskin was built on the old KSP source base, which the original developers have admitted was very difficult to work with.

When the development changed focus, the feature scope was simply not realistic with so much legacy code getting in the way.

Worst of all, the devs working on KSP2 were barred from talking to Squad (the original developers) about ANYTHING. No communication about specific parts of the code. No communication about why various approaches to different problems were chosen. Basically due to corporate stupidity that focused on a quick buck through a resin, the developers had to pretty much reinvent the wheel a bunch of times.

I think the initial corporate plan was a reskin-scam. The development plan involved a lot more than that. These goals were simply incompatible, which is why everything was so delayed and buggy.

There were some really passionate and talented devs on the team, but they didn’t get what was needed to build what KSP2 could’ve (and should’ve) been.

ShadowZone made a couple of really good in-depth videos on what went wrong, and this sums it up well: https://youtu.be/NtMA594am4M

I can’t claim that I understand what you’re going through, but I do claim that I understand your reasoning. My dad went through the same around a decade ago.

Seeing him try chemo made me conclude that living means more than surviving. Make sure your family understands this part.

Come to think of it, it’s almost 10 years to the day since he died. I never questioned his choice, and I’m happy that he got to the end on his own terms rather than being pestered by family pressuring him to endure a kind of pain that we could never understand.

EDIT: Just for the record, I’m all in favor of at least trying treatment - It works well for many. If it is truly insufferable, treatment can be aborted.

Same. When I was on 5 week offshore rotation I usually did the night shift. It’s quieter, fewer people around, and my arctic ass doesn’t like the equatorial sun. Beyond my lifelong affliction of inability to fall asleep in a timely manner (fixed by audio books), I slept better then than I’ve ever done since.

Singapore. Spent a lot of time there on a few occasions, and I really like the place. Best barbecue I ever had was at Decker BBQ. And best sushi I ever had was nearby. Clarke Quay area, iirc.

Alternatively, downtown Kuala Lumpur. Awesome street food.

I spent a lot of time in Dammam a couple of months ago, and while I liked it, it was really annoying how little pedestrians were taken into account when building the city (I had to routinely commit strategic jaywalking when I was going out to eat). Is all of KSA like that, or is it a Dammam-thing? (Everything seemed relatively recently built, so maybe it’s a result of rapid growth?)

Personally, I do it because trumps last name is more rare/recognizable than his first. With her it’s the other way around. It’s less ambiguous that way.

As a tangent, I do think a presidential race between Donald Duck and Ed Harris would be less mentally taxing.

Considering the Transnistrian issue, I would’ve thought Moldova would vote blue.

We don’t believe you, you tankie vatnik.

/s obviously.

FYI, just making a new user on a different instance isn’t a big deal. Guess why there’s a “3” in my user name. Come to think of it, my first account was on lemmy.ml too, although the main reason why I moved at that time was because I forgot the password.

Apart from the jetlag it’s not too bad, actually. I’ve had worse jobs that didn’t take me to the far corners of the world.

In 2009 there were like three people in line in front of me. Must’ve taken at least 30 seconds before an available election official could check my ID. It was extremely early in the early voting period, and there was only one place open that early. I was going to be abroad for the next month, so I had to vote that day.

When not voting early, I can’t recall there ever being a line.

“2009 election, you say??”

Norway.

Ironically, I did this today when editing /etc/sudoers

Never played the futuristic ones. What appealed to me with the anno games was the atmosphere of sails and settlers.

I’m not that picky in terms of resolution, but I am when it comes to FPS.

But in all honesty, 2k@60 would be fine too.
