What are your favorite small communities?

i hope theyre ready to give a ton of refunds for digital “purchases”

nuclear powered ion drives are hyper efficient, but the thrust is so low. im thinking about developing a space fleet doctrine. ion drives are definitely necessary for carriers and cargo, but i’m wondering about which ships use what engine types during combat, and how those tactics could play out.

signal is easier than matrix to get an account and chat, but matrix has better features for gaming, and also doesn’t require a phone number on a smartphone, which not all my friends have. i use signal for work, matrix for personal chats.

I use Matrix, switched my personal chats over there once Discord got too sketch

the conductor keeps time, communicates dynamics and rhythms that are more subtle than what is written on the sheet music, listens to everybody to keep the ensemble balanced. there’s a ton of nonverbal communication. this is more necessary in classical music where tempo moves around and there isn’t a ton of percussion to follow. in jazz, especially smaller groups, you can listen to the piano and drums to follow the tempo. but with 60 plus musicians, it’s really difficult to stay together when the tempo changes throughout a long piece.

rip dolly. we’re lucky to have you in our hearts and our ears

he’s actually the narrator of the show, i find it funny but your results may vary

I did compositing! It was a blast to work on, we had the game on an arcade cabinet at our studio. We shared an office with Star Trek Lower Decks so there were cardboard cutouts of TNG characters everywhere lol.

I worked on this show! spoilers it’s actually pretty good

Carrion. oh god…

The free demo has a lot of content if you just wanna check out the combat and see the beginning of the story to see if it vibes with you. and it saves your game so anything you do in the demo transfers to the game if you end up buying it

im just rewatching season 1 now, shes so good in it

I played the whole thing last week. It was incredible. I love the native perspective on the Western genre. the multiculturalism gives it a bit of a Game-of-Thrones esque fantasy vibe. The combat reminds me a little of FTL, and the minimalist aesthetic was very Hyperlight Drifter. Those are two of my favorite games so that’s high praise.

Arco

wow this is harder than i thought

we’re the feds lol

no yeah it sucks for everybody. the only reason execs want it is because power, but execs famously don’t understand how anything works on the ground

i mean streaming gives big corporations more power, like the power to shut off your game if you don’t pay a subscription fee, the power to track everything you do

as if lol. even if compute gets cheap (seems like not), installing high speed internet all over the world? that’s a huge project that nobody is working on.
