Does anyone have a link to or remember the goon text Sci Fi space opera CYOA from 15 odd years ago? Similar setting to the Expanse/Serenity, large solar system etc with relativistic travel and travel time for weaponry etc, starring Ving Mother loving Rhames? I remember the early stages had a lot of choices around POV character background (yuppie scion vs ex naval officer vs ragamuffin), and once a ship was sourced the choice to make was between various kinds of armaments (large dumbfire cannons where the issue was aiming where the target would be in x minutes vs missile tubes that would be higher cost per usage but self-targetting/propelling). I know most of the old CYOA threads will be dead and gone due to waffle images destroying the hosting of images, but being text based I suspect this may have survived?

Snowglobe of Doom posted:A friend is trying to remember a song that used to be played on the radio in Australia in the 90s, the only lyrics she can remember are "send a message to your local MP, drive it home that it's not easy, to be living in a loveless society...." The singer was a woman. Just in case she's misremembering lyrics, Plastic Loveless Letter by Magic Dirt has a female vocalist, and from memory was heavily played on JJJ.

Phy posted:There was an MSpaint thread once, either in GBS or (less likely) PYF, where a goon did a little MSPaint/memeface comic about trying to order a pizza while extremely stoned. All I remember is the pizza guy asking the goon what they wanted on their pizza, and the goon sits there for a panel, and then says, "... mayonnaise?" Same guy who ended up in the wrong side of the counter, trying to order from a customer who was trying to order from him, correct?

Time_pants posted:There was a picture I saw a long time ago of what looked like a giant piece of heavy machinery or construction equipment with what appeared to be a massive circular saw at the end of a long arm poised like it would be used to tear into the landscape. The way the picture was shot made it look way more massive than it actually was and the "saw" was, if I remember correctly, a wheel with a bunch of shovels or buckets on it (think the blade on a bulldozer or an excavator's shovel).

mr_jolly posted:I'm not sure if I've dreamt it or have been living in another dimension but recently I've been trying to remember a sci-fi book i possibly read a few years ago. Unfortunately i can't remember much of the plot except that it seemed to be set mainly in London during a war and everyone lived under a giant dome to protect them from bombs. At one point i remember there was a bit about a train leaving the dome to go to some secret bunker and bits describing how everyone lived from day to day but apart from that nothing!

hark posted:no I know that movie and it has a similar vibe as far as the dystopian aspect is concerned, but I'm kinda leaning toward it being a TV show. I can't remember if the people were hiding from aliens or they were some kind of lower class or both? I have done too much drugs in my life to remember things in great detail. I don't recommend it, unless you like having fun. I think this was Colony - in one of the later seasons I recall they caught an alien and his it in a truck, and had to get it past the alien/human dystopia shock troop check points.

R.L. Stine posted:there's either a movie, show, or a dream i had: Not a lot of match, but there's not a lot of beautifully shot dustbowl in modern media: Episode 1 of Carnivale has a mother peacing out and a son being left in a dustbowl shack, then being picked up by wagon and bonding with youngsters. Also a solid show (Clancy Brown having a great old time!).
