<Izzy> 1680x1050 :3
<darsie> :)
<darsie> Why didn't anyone tell Tamara to plant a flag on the Mun?
<Pinkbeast> 1280x960 thank you
<Izzy> Mmm, now I want to see KSP on the eMac's CRT
<Pinkbeast> I dunno about an eMac but that's how I see it on my tube
<darsie> There are still tubes out there?
<Pinkbeast> My monitor is bigger than yours. (In the third, useless, dimension.)
<Pinkbeast> I've got two working spares in reserve. Then maybe I may have to give up.
<Izzy> I have an AIO eMac running Linux that I use as an emulator for a computer in a game
<Pinkbeast> Izzy: Oooh
Wastl2 has joined #KSPOfficial
<Izzy> (linux for hardware, the emulator runs as PID 1)
<Izzy> fun fact! with all the optional stuff enabled, a linux kernel is too big for yaboot to cope with; need to keep the kernel under 16M
* Pinkbeast makes the "remember when Linux ran on computers with 4M of memory" face
<darsie> .outcome add You rip the old monitor out of the instrument panel, smash the front and use it as emergency electron propulsion thruster.
<LunchBot> Added outcome: You rip the old monitor out of the instrument panel, smash the front and use it as emergency electron propulsion thruster.
<Pinkbeast> "as an emergency" ...
<Pinkbeast> (I lack the LunchBot-fu to edit these, sorry)
<darsie> .outcome fixup s/as/as an/
<LunchBot> New text is: You rip the old monitor out of the instrument panel, smas anh the front and use it as emergency electron propulsion thruster.
<darsie> hmm
<darsie> .outcome fixup s/as an/as/
<LunchBot> New text is: You rip the old monitor out of the instrument panel, smash the front and use it as emergency electron propulsion thruster.
<Izzy> on the upside, I can strip the kernel down to like, the disk subsystem, and the ofw framebuffer, because the emulator doesn't currently support networking or any form of storage other than the vfs it already has
<darsie> .outcome fixup s/emergency/an emergency/
<LunchBot> New text is: You rip the old monitor out of the instrument panel, smash the front and use it as an emergency electron propulsion thruster.
* Pinkbeast remembers an Iskeria from years ago, but no connection?
<umaxtu> Izzy, what emulator?
<Izzy> umaxtu: LuPi2 with some patches for PPC https://github.com/StarChasers/LuPI2
<umaxtu> neat

<XXCoder> ;mission
<LunchBot> You attempt to build a 50 tonne VTOL. The fire alarm keeps going off. After resetting it three times you send Mitdun Kerman to fix it. He reports back that he can't access it because the cargo bay is full of smoke. You reset it seven times more until it melts and stops going off. When Bill wakes up and asks about the smoke you tell him the fire alarm is faulty.
<XXCoder> wow thats one long conquence
<raptop> Sometimes fires cause a lot of consequences
<Althego> fire in the sky
<XXCoder> ;outcome add Everything is fire now.
<LunchBot> Added outcome: Everything is fire now.
<raptop> ;mission add You decide to set things in fire instead of on fire.

<FLHerne> sadly this long consequence is from a real accident report
<Mat2ch> Reminds me of a neighbour of mine. There's water in the basement. Well, better close the door and leave.
<Mat2ch> Just a quick thought... how much does Polka and Dubstep have in common? ;)

<Mat2ch> Has anyone ever built a craft with the inflatable heat shields that didn't flip around?
<Althego> i did
<Althego> common trick is the put one on the other end too
<Althego> but i never used that
<Pinkbeast> Mat2ch: Sure, let me dig up some screenshots
<Pinkbeast> http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~damerell/games/ksp/toeve-10-fire.png mind you this one has an inline ballute to keep it pointed the right way
Ezriilc has joined #KSPOfficial
<Althego> hehe it is hufe
<Pinkbeast> As far as possible I've transferred the remaining fuel up front (and there's a stack of Orion magazines there to deliver, which are _very heavy_) - so just like anything else, mass up front, draggy tail at the back. (Both are in a FAR world)
<Pinkbeast> IDK that keeping right-way-forward needed me to drag those fins through the vacuum all the way to Laythe, but I'm glad I did it.
<Pinkbeast> huge> but not Tweakscaled, that's a size the author of "Inline Ballutes" thought was sensible
<Pinkbeast> http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~damerell/games/ksp/aftereve-1-fire.png # another one with no ballute; the object on the other end is the realistic lift version of the Hooligan Labs inflatable airship envelope.
<Pinkbeast> But again, the mass is cuddled up as close behind the heatshield as it can be
<Mat2ch> I guess I should bring some dead weight ;)
<Pinkbeast> Mmm. Easy for me on that Eve lander, where the weight is the takeoff stages.
<Eddi|zuHause> !mission
<LunchBot> You strand Jeb in orbit and force him to watch bad sci-fi movies. Internet Explorer 6 fails your download.
<Eddi|zuHause> no movie for jeb, then.
<raptop> In which Jeb can't even engage in retrocomputing
<Mat2ch> Well, this is, again, for an Eve lander... :D
<Mat2ch> And mayyyyyybeee I should use a different design to land it
<FLHerne> .outcome add You discover a planet where in some biomes they speak Kerbal, but backward.
<LunchBot> Added outcome: You discover a planet where in some biomes they speak Kerbal, but backward.
<FLHerne> with the inflatable shield you need all heavy stuff to be pretty much a pancake behind it
<FLHerne> or fairly extreme 'tail surfaces' as above
<sandbox> they've only just fixed this bug "Scientists rename human genes to stop Microsoft Excel from misreading them as dates" https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/6/21355674/human-genes-rename-microsoft-excel-misreading-dates
<Mat2ch> FLHerne: Preposterous. Nobody would dare to speak Kerbal backwards. It would summon the Nekark.
Tank2333 has joined #KSPOfficial
<raptop> "The Nekark" would be a good monster for a fantasy RPG
<Mat2ch> There seems to be one in WAKFU
<raptop> hrm

<LunchBot> You build a generation ship, but because Kerbals don't die of old age the population grows exponentially. You become an entry in Derek Lowe's blog.
<Mat2ch> Probably some drug that kills Kerbals or doesn't let them procreate
<raptop> Okay, *technically* it's a medical chemistry blog, but we both know why that outcome is actually there
<FLHerne> .mission add You push tech advances at a rate faster than ethics can sometimes maybe keep up with.

<LunchBot> New text is: Out of billions of alternate histories, in two, the mission was a success!
<XXCoder> thanks
<Mat2ch> raptop: That would be enough for a villa next to the KSC. Not sure if I want to live there, though.
<raptop> hm
<raptop> I guess you could always try for one of those hidden 1.12.something bases
<raptop> (...were they 1.12? I don't recall)
<Mat2ch> Anything near anywhere where Kerbals can fly to is unsafe.
<raptop> You'd think that after all these years, kerbals would have learned to listen to Scott Manley...

<Eddi|zuHause> well, obviously "fly safe" is like "don't spit on the ground". you only need to say it if people do it wrong all the time.

<FLHerne> presumably some science widget
<FLHerne> it's a neat site
