<e_14159> The KSP-popcorn-discussion is amazing, @egg
<egg|matrix|egg> hah
<egg|matrix|egg> I didn’t know you were there
<e_14159> Only very lurk-y (and in this case with a drive-by message)
<e_14159> I haven't played KSP in a long time. Every time I feel the urge, I obviously want to automate the missions, so I start reading into kRPC and planning a reusable software architecture. Then I abandon the plan to start playing again.
