Real story. A friend of mine was working on new year’s, maintenance trailer inside a factory. Suddenly a puff of dust. A new home on the ceiling and and his desk, the line going two feet from his head, and a ~.45 round at the rubberized metal floor.
Bullets go down about as fast as they go up.

I’ll tell you, the RPG groups on lemmy tend to be very fantasy focused. It would be awesome to have a space for sci-fi. I’ll be glad to help you nurture it.

Not sure I’d be able to contribute all that much to Traveller. But perhaps expand your horizons a bit and create a c/SciFiRPG community?

Don’t worry, the author went on to create the most hated ending for a popular series in modern history. So it balances out.

Definitely don’t lock yourself in with them and repeatedly stab their lungs in a flurry of blows on both sides. That could cause their lungs to collapse and / or fill with blood, which might result in a death by either filling your chest with air but still gasp for air, or drowning in their own blood. And nobody wants that.

“Hey, this is exactly like a strawberry pie, if you replace the strawberry by veggies and meat, and the pie by water. It’s actually a stew.”
By all means, do whatever comparison you want, but I’ll reserve the right to disagree.

Could you point me to the ones that didn’t?
- Comment on Evil 4 weeks ago:
I did, but the direction is reversed. XKCD talks about how standards multiply and get more complex. This is talking about a different motivator for computing technologies, which is having a leaner, simpler alternative, that eventually gets bloated.

It’s talked about in this thread. The short version that IBM built a logistics machine for the Nazis that was used to coordinate the transport of supplies for the war effort and transporting people to concentration camps.

Those experiments didn’t advance a thing. That’s a myth. They had no scientific rigor. Nothing was gained from that.
