He also absolutely hated Hohmann Transfer Orbits for some reason, (For those that don't know, Hohmann Transfer Orbits are one the most efficient methods of traveling between bodies, and KSP values efficiency) so he nerfed Solar Power into oblivion and made all of the batteries ridiculously heavy to try and force you into making inefficient direct transfers instead.

Scott Manley did a video on it in case you want a taste of the madness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ1HCK_beIg

I shouldn't be surprised that a modder decided he hates an actual true thing about orbital mechanics but well, here we are

Now I'm really wishing Bethesda had gone to the trouble to render bathrooms with toilet paper rolls hung differently in the few Chinese Communist areas in fallout 3 than from the rest of the game

It seems like it was made solely because it was possible to do it and released because it was funny

Man, I feel like after 15 years of TES modding I should be used to it by now, but every time I see a massively deformed, horrifying virtual blow up doll I'm still as confused and disturbed as I've ever been.

Just.. why? Why are so many people going to such great lengths to jack off to a video game? Why are so many people then showing the world their creepy and horrifying creations?

Honestly what broke my brain most about that weird muscle monstrosity is that it's for Oblivion

I think my favorite dumb modder story is still the guy who applied absurd forced penalties to Hohmann transfer orbits in Kerbal Space Program because he hated what is actually the most efficient way to go between bodies in a solar system

I'm not familiar with Kerbal Space Program, but isn't the point of the game is to try and emulate space travel and space shuttle construction as accurately as possible? Why make a mod like that? It's not even a, "It's difficult so as to be more realistic" argument, it just sounds like it's making the game more difficult arbitrarily.

I think he just thought they're boring and not cool

I mean they are kind of, it's just calculating orbital energy differences between your start and end, timing your launch, then real quick burning enough fuel to give your ship whatever the energy difference is. At that point you just wait and hope that the bafflingly improbable but still possible space rock collision doesn't happen.

e: To clarify they are actually quite cool and I still like them as a concept but I had to calculate a lot of them in different classes

i guess you aren't aware of all the terrifying sex mods for vtmb

A lot of the drama for the game's mod community went away a while ago when the competition for the fan patch died when the one guy bitched out which left just Wesp, the strange German guy who obsessively mods the game as a hobby.

No one really knows what the gently caress he's doing but he just sort of quietly does whatever it is and is apparently happy doing it.

Are you telling me that there's a piece of golden age sci-fi where the male main character DOESN'T bone every available woman in sight?

This man's delusional, get him out of here.

Niven also wrote the later Ringworld books where there is a whole complicated civilization based on interspecies sex sooooooooo

It's a special diplomatic thing for first contact between different tribes or something like that, at least as far as I remember.

It was also for sealing treaties or other significant diplomatic deals.

Shady Sands was only like decades after and they more it less had their poo poo together and were building new stuff, but Bethesda apparently paid attention mostly to the raiders, super mutants, and the anesthetic of Junktown

I stumbled upon a forum earlier this week while trying to figure out a glitch I was having in an old Fallout New Vegas mod and what I came upon was a discussion that was basically an unironic version of this comic:



But replace "kill the jews" with "make 'jokes' about child porn."

You might be surprised to learn that the character cast on the left was actually the Nexus :nexus:

Reminds me of the people quoting Voltaire back when a coalition of not-pedophiles was trying to get reddit to admit that r/jailbait was child porn

Maybe they forgot to patch it out of the localized text for some languages, I didn't play the game in English at the time. That's all I can really offer, I guess, because I do know for a fact that I didn't go out of my way to look something up that I only know about because I recall seeing it first-hand.

VVV Works for me.

I seem to recall there was an uncensored version of it in the secret Temple library?

Just so I'm current with my hate group vocabulary, is "No Alphabets" meaning "No LGBTQ+" but also racist?

The racism is usually also there with no LGBTQ+ to be honest it's just a quieter part
