There's more info on the other paywalled forum and the discord has some snippets, but reddit will lose its poo poo once they realize, by entering a simple code on account creation, we'll get a free ship. No details on which one yet, doubt it'll be bigger than a connie tho.

And you may find yourself
Living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself
In another part of the world
And you may find yourself
Behind the wheel of a large spaceship
And you may find yourself in a beautiful wankpod
With a beautiful sexdoll
And you may ask yourself, well
How did I get here?

Letting the days go by, let the coding hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing under space
Into the black again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing under space

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large spaceship?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wankpod!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful sexdoll!

Letting the days go by, let the coding hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing under space
Into the black again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing under space

Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was

Kind of? I highly doubt someone with a belt as cool as MoMA's would be put into a coma by falling out of a treehouse though. I'd guess it was probably something far more badass.

Well, CIG did steal something of value from him (like his dignity) and then pushed him away with their marketing and PR.

Once Space Engineers has some kind of stable multiplayer experience I'll be excited to give it another swing. I have an absurd number of hours sunk into just tinkering a little bit here and there over the years, waiting for a chance to actually capitalize on those efforts beyond trying to make things that can do things without looking dumb.

The wait has been frustrating.

The new SE netcode is ridiculously good and nice, there's barely any difference between single/mp now. The game is as buggy as ever still, though.

Eh, no big deal just run StripNamespaces.... super simple fix you guys it just removes the namespaces of the node before doing the curve match (curves are usually in root namespace).

Then there's the powerhouse method entitled StripMergedLayerData, which allows for the additional 'Merged_Layer_inputB' naming that animLayers use.

Weeks not months.

Absolutely, he's brilliant in it. Very understated but sublimely played. The whole series is up on youtube, it's well worth a watch even today. Thing is when you watch it though is that for the modern viewer it does feel exruciatingly slow at first, because you are so used to modern TV with its jumpcuts and frantic pace. But once you get in the mood, it's top notch BBC goodness.

Let's pretend the nice space man is a marionette doll, and he has lots of strings you can pull on to make him run and jump and play. Well, one day the puppeteer had to ride on a plane, so he cut the strings to the doll so it would fit into the suitcase. He carefully labeled every string so he could re-connect them later. But what's this? When the puppeteer went to re-connect the strings, he couldn't find the labels! They were gone! Had they fallen off? Had somebody stolen them? The puppeteer cried and cried, because try as he might, he could not reconnect the thousands upon thousands of strings to his beloved puppet. Now the nice space man can't run and jump and play anymore. He just stands there with his arms out, waiting for his master to fix him and make him whole again.

The end.
