Really, it's coming! · 3:24am Apr 9th, 2018
No update yet. I pinkie promise I am working on it, but I'm gonna need a few more days. On the plus side, getting those killer airbags fixed was a lot less hassle than I was anticipating.
But I did finally get around to fixing up chapter 4 of No Nose. No drastic changes, but is should be easier to read now. Check it out if you want. :)
Airbags? Like in carbags from a car?

Yeah. The dealer had replacements in stock, so I shouldn't have any shrapnel issues now.
For you, buddy, I'll happily wait a year :P
Also, grats with the airbags situation
Take your time.

Oh, you mean your car had one of those defective airbags made by that Japanese airbag company who's now recalling them?
(sharpens pencil) You're not scaring me. Bring it.
Yeah, you know it's bad news when your airbag is manufactured by Remington.

Thanks! I was pleasantly surprised it worked out so well.
4836491
I did. I put it off for awhile but I finally figured I didn't need a shotgun behind my steering wheel in a crash.

And to think that Remington just filed for bankruptcy ...
4836549 You have to look carefully. *Part* of Remington filed for bankruptcy. They made some really dumb moves in firearm production involving quality control (much like that airbag manufacturer). This is the kind of bankruptcy that keeps the creditors from taking over, selling the entire company for fire-sale prices, and pegging the company owners in a suit. (Meanwhile the creditors quietly buy the assets on the other end, even though it's illegal, and form another company.)
In this case, they'll probably dump their pistol lines that had been giving issues and restructure production around things that have good history and good margins (i.e. the shotgun and rifle lines). Seriously, at the prices that AR-15 type rifles sell for, I don't see how any company who makes them isn't putting in gold fixtures in the washrooms.
We're going to see more of this in the near future as bond prices go up, and companies who sunk themselves deep in debt at low single-digit interest rates find their investors fairly uninterested in making only 2% on their investment. I really expect some of the vaporware tech stocks to evaporate.
Eh, you're fine mate. Its all good. Take you're time and when its ready, itll be ready.
Theres a whole barage of sayings that could be said in this instance but they're pretty much all fart jokes.
Ugh, my car got a notice about killer airbags and the dealer didn't get the replacements FOR A YEAR. Thanks for telling me to be careful?
4836569
Ah, the free market is a glorious thing.
Though I really should read more than just the headline. I figured it was one of those restructure bankruptcies, but now I know.

Who doesn't love a good fart joke?
4836679
Hey, you should be careful!
I really thought it would take longer too. I guess I just got lucky. Maybe they had a fresh shipment in when I called, I dunno.
4836794
Well then. If you try/push too hard, it’ll end up crap

I asked for that one ...

How "Irrespective" of you.
Though honestly its better to wait on something epic than rush something to meet a "deadline" and get a meh.
same goes for the gaming industry. A delayed game is just delayed but has the chance to be great. a bad game will always be bad.
