Peaceful. Heh. It definitely used to be peaceful, kiddo…
But those days are so long gone, and the moon so scarred, that those days might as well be out of a fantasy novel.What happened, you ask? Heh… That’s a silly question. Human nature happened.
You see, transit to Europa was never commercialized. Not back then, and now likely never will be. And yet, humans still charged forward, to that pristine icy moon. Charging so far off the beaten paths. Away from comforts, away from contact, away from society itself… Ask yourself now, what sort of man would willingly throw themselves such absolute solitude?
Prideful, arrogant, and sometimes even criminal, for a moment, Europa was a haven to it all. An age of constant advancement, stoked by the fires of so many supreme wills.
It was never destined to last.
Amidst that multitude, a hunger as old civilization grew. The hunger of dominion, festering in a place packed to the brim with wolves, but not a single sheep. Is it any wonder, then, that all it took was a single spark of prideful dissent? Just one, and it all gave way.
To want.
To discord.
To violence.
To insanity.
To ruin.No one can stop you if you really want to go, kiddo. Actually no, that’s not entirely true. You’ll probably get interdicted and arrested on the way back. So I’ll just tell you right now, there is nothing left.
Only ash, ice, and the remains of the fools of that age. Magnificent fools, but fools nonetheless.
Any chance this one will be easily defaced like the doge.gov site was?

Oh sweet! Thanks for marking out some fresh new GBU-12 and GBU-38 targets, Russia.
Hmm… Now I’m wondering if buddy lasing with drones is feasible.

Also, I don’t think HR/Payroll would easily agree to any requests by personnel to stop the deductions. They will ask questions.
Imma hop on resonite and get wasted with friends.

For some reason I read that as police citations and was wondering how the hell she got so dangerously based.
Where in the world did you hear that? Every source on this cites Elon and his extremist Nazi beliefs as a core reason.

Primarily the Pimax headset. Once I get a suitable replacement, I’ll actually be able to start testing and transferring stuff.

Pimax. Fantastic FOV, but wide and clunky, and the rest is just meh.

Last time I worked with fiber cables, I had to be very careful not to bend them too sharply, or I’d have to redo the entire office run.
shininghero@pawb.socialto Buy From EU@lemm.ee•Reminder: gog.com is Polish and DRM-free :)13·1 month agoFortunately, steam can have a lower priority on switching due to it being privately owned. No stocks, no shareholders, and no ‘number must infinitely go up’ bullshit.
Still, got my fingers crossed that gog can use this to grow and become the first equal competitor to steam. No, epic doesn’t count, they have publicly traded stock.
Unfortunately, my vr headset requires a piece of middleware that is not Linux compatible. But, by the time 10 LTSC reaches end of life, Deckard should be available for purchase.
Also, I’ll need to re-pirate substance painter for avatar work, as GenP doesn’t do Linux either.
