    Not back to KSP yet, but I did do some space stuff.

    I haven't touched KSP since my early experience with KSP2 was a combination of glitchy game and impossible-to-read UI. I've been thinking about it here and there, but I've had other things to do.

    But that doesn't mean I'm not doing space stuff, and yesterday I finally edited and posted a video of such.

    My muse is nagging me.

    I've done very little writing the past five months, partly due to being busy, but mostly due to recurring headaches when it's writing time.

    I have a couple weeks off, and I'm going to try to make time to get back on my projects (the Octavia story and novelizing Peter is the Wolf). But my mind... well... it's trying to jump ahead, or possibly back.

    Life imitates art...

    So, a privately built and operated space probe became the first US lander to soft-land on the Moon last week- Odysseus.

    Extreme Nitpicky Trivia Help Wanted

    I've finally begun work on that story I promised.

    I need a bit of info for a minor touch, though:

    Does anybody know if, through the entirety of MLP:FiM, any month in the Julian/Gregorian calendar has been named by any character in any episode whatever?

    I'm prepared to make up month names, but if they use the same ones we do I won't bother.

Vote coming up... · 7:45pm Jan 29th, 2020

... on my Patreon, for what my main February game will be. I'll be posting it after tonight's XCOM stream on Twitch.

Which will likely be the last, since nobody's watching that.

I may go back to KSP- it'll be among the options, one of those options being "Career Hard Mode", another being "Do Silly Kerbal Things."

So my question is: what ideas do you have for silly things I can do in Kerbal? I can think of one immediately, but I'd like your ideas.

Hm. Silly things in Kerbal.

Probably the goofiest things I've done were building a paraglider and doing a coop Minmus landing... One player controlled the SSTO, and then when they detached the Minmus craft, another player took that over and went off to the moon while the SSTO itself made a landing. This became more complicated when the lander had to detach and so forth; it became kind of a goofy juggling game with both of us swapping control over stuff. In the end, the (probe) lander didn't even land quite right, and we ended up having it 'hop' all over Minmus to collect data while the (staffed) orbital craft's science lab analyzed it. There had been some plan, originally, for the lander to return to orbit and deliver its payload back to Kerbal someday. Yeah... that didn't happen.

One silly thing I've done is make a plane so powerful that once it got up to speed it litterally incinerated itself in flight without using cheats.

Hmmm... silly things in KSP...
Why not build a space station?
Made almost entirely out of the least space-station-like parts you can get?
I'd advise using the Prakasa Aeroworks mod.

You too, huh? Mine made it about a kilometer from the runway before the rapid unplanned disassembly set in.

Original, 90s-era XCOM? (UFO Defense) Because that game is great.

5195293 No, the remake. Although I have the 1994 X-COM too- it's a REALLY hard and unforgiving game. Maybe I'll put it on the list for March.

Hmmm... Have you considered uploading past streams to YouTube? You could have a nice selection of gameplays there. You could add a link to Twitch to grab attention to your streams. I don't know, just an idea, I am not a streamer myself, but I have seen a lot of them do that.

5196492 I intend to, and I've saved them for that purpose. Just haven't made time to do it.
