    If you were looking at the shirts I sell...

    ... they're about to go away. My shirt printer is retiring, and I have no replacement.

    After May 5 I'm going to take down the online order links on my little business's online store, and after this summer I'll clear out of whatever shirts I have left.

    So if you'd noticed any of these before, now's effectively the last chance.

    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.

Looking at gamestream options... · 12:53am Apr 29th, 2020

Tomorrow night (7 PM Central, http://twitch.tv/redneckgaijin ) I stream more Kerbal Space Program on hard mode. The core of tomorrow's mission is getting 2400 units of ore off Mun's surface and into Kerbin orbit (which means my most ambitious build in many years, if EVER, and I haven't even begun to design the actual surface base yet)... but that's of lesser importance.

After tomorrow night's stream, I'll be posting a selection of games for my Patreon supporters to vote on to see what I stream in May. I wanted to have seven options, but one option (KSP: Galileo Planet Pack Mod) fell through because part of the mod hasn't been updated for KSP 1.9.1 yet.

That means I have a slot open.

So: name a PC game, old or new, you'd like to watch me play. I'll go through whatever suggestions I get, see what's cheap (because no conventions during quarantine), and make one of the suggestions the seventh option.

Thanks for the help!

Now back to writing Changeling Space Program stuff...

Id settle for Railroad Tycoon 2 which can be picked up on steam for about $5.

Knowing you played a lot of xcom type games... I would suggest Xenonauts. I don’t know if you already have it, not really dirt cheap, but reasonable. I got it for around 20 bucks back in the day, not sure how much it costs now, I would keep an eye on it if there are sales or something.

Any thoughts on Subnautcia?

5252279 5252554 5252878 I went with Railroad Tycoon 2 for the seventh option. I'll keep an eye on both the other suggestions, though Xenonauts looks a little too close to XCOM to make it my top priority.

That's a good choice. Subnautica is worth checking out, It is a resource collection & building game, but it has a really interesting plot and does a good job with the tension the deeper you get.

5253141
The only issue with RRT2 is it sometimes doesn't want to launch but the community has all kinds of tech support tips if your having trouble.

5253390 We'll see if it gets that far. The poll is up for Patrons, and right now the numbers lean towards KSP Mondays and Wednesdays, XCOM Chimera Squad Saturdays.

Eh its a fun game to play in your free time and if you do ever stream it at least get some experience on it before you do.
Id throw some money at ya to but I don't have any ta spare.
