It seems like both of your analogies are strawmen. Game development is likely to be not like pregnancy or moving stones, in terms of its ability to be sped up by adding manpower. It's obviously much more complicated than manual labour like moving stones, but not as immune to assistance as passively 'being pregnant'.

Boy did that escalate quickly

Not that I tend to go for stream badges generally, but does it have to be done on a certain class or size of ship? Can you 100% a tiny ship?

That is a fucking great game. I should fire it up again.

Boost was my reddit app of choice for many years, and they finally released their Lemmy app (like 2 days ago), so I've uninstalled all the other Lemmy apps I've been trying.

Edit: I'm a moron and replied in a thread about iOS apps with a recommendation for an android app

Heh, you're probably right. I've gotten back into my exotic industries run for now, so I'll put SE plans back on hold.

Apparently K2 mixes well with 248k, so that might be an option for more complexity without the extreme space science grind or multi surface complexity of SE.

Edit: Apparently exotic industries is the sort of spiritual successor to 248k, but with more good stuff, even made by the same author(s). So I'll definitely go back to progressing with that mod. I'm in the electricity age, so it should really ramping up complexity soon.

I really liked it, but I started to get overwhelmed by the complexity of some of the space science. Now I don't know that I could get back into my existing save without spending hours trying to figure out wtf was going on, and the thought of going through all the early game again without changing something is also not super appealing.

I have been considering a K2/SE run, since I think that will change it enough to make it a bit fresher, and I've heard that despite K2 extending the early game, it makes some of the later SE things a bit more manageable. Can't remember the details of how, though. Was from a reddit post a year or so ago.

Someone fetch me a proctoscope so I can watch this!

What do you think? I've had mixed experiences with fine nibs (sometimes they feel very scratchy, but in other brands, with different inks and paper, they still feel too wet), so I've been nervous about trying EF. There's obviously still much to learn and experiment with.

Very pretty! I have a blue diamond, and I've got mixed feelings about it. I didn't like the feeling of the fine nib it shipped with. I ordered a medium nib and it feels much better to write with. When you say you love the ribs, I assume you're talking about the grip. That's actually one of the things I don't like. Possibly due to the way I hold the pen, I find it becomes uncomfortable to hold sure to the ribs digging into my fingers after a while. If I could find a replacement for the grip, I think I would use it more. I also find the screw cap makes it less appealing to use at work, compared to a snap on cap.

On the other hand, it's beautiful, holds a huge amount of ink, they sell replacement nibs, comes with a set of tools and silicon grease to maintain it, and is decently priced for what it is. Also comes in a range of really nice colours.

Anyway, enough about me. Enjoy your new pen!!

Oo thanks, I'll check out that video.

Nice. I have 3 swipes now, and I absolutely love them. They write nicely, hold a great amount of ink in their oversize converters, and look great. The only thing I don't love is the clip, but I'm getting used to that too.
