A resparking of interest in the Traveller RPG (or more specifically the generation of star systems, planets and subsectors) has got me in its gravitational pull and I'm now self-educating in star and planet composition & life cycles in order to write a more accurate planet generator. I spent an hour of my work time today learning about core density, and I don't regret it.

Boy, our knowledge of planets has expanded A LOT since I last paid attention to the field some decades ago. When I was a kid there were 9 planets and we didn't know anything about all the trans-Neptunian objects, and we knew almost nothing about exoplanets.

Hubble, Kepler, etc. have brought so many amazing things to our attention. The universe is so much more interesting than we'd guessed, and that's really exciting. :good:

And this is why I can't abide old farts who go "Why isn't Pluto a planet like I was taught in the Eisenhower administration, grump grump grump." Pluto got reclassed because we discovered so much more cool stuff in our solar system. That's an awesome thing, dumbass.

I'm more annoyed by people when talking about Pluto (the planet) they make a joke about Pluto (Mickey's dog).

Has Disney’s Hades ever made a joke about Disney’s Pluto? I’ll bet that’s happened.

Yes! Remember the Saturday morning cartoon series where Herc was in high school with Cassandra and Icarus? The episode "Hercules and the Romans" (whose actual plot escapes me) ends with the Romans adopting the Greek gods as their own, but giving them new names because reasons. Cut to Hades discovering that they picked "Pluto" for him and fuming about it. "I wouldn't name my dog 'Pluto'!"

Cassandra was the best. The truth bomb society needs but doesn't deserve.

I saw a tweet today that was like "Kanye supported Trump and even he wants nothing to do with NFTs" and it just drove home for me how stupid that argument always is. Kanye doing a terrible thing and him not doing a different terrible thing are two completely unrelated facts. There's no "even" about it.

Everyone has standards. And most of those standards are arbitrary.

But it's also particularly dumbassed in this case because this is fuckin' Kanye we're talking about. The man's a walking random-number generator; who knows why he does anything.

I’ll accept any anti-NFT argument for any reason, but yeah, if you want to make an argument from authority Ye is the absolute worst choice.

You know, I don't define myself as a "gamer", in terms of basing my identity around it. But it's indisputable that computer games are my primary hobby, and have been for almost my whole life.

And yet the games I play are usually these slower-paced niche games, your strategy games or city sims or indie narrative thingies, and sometimes I feel: not only do I have a nerdy hobby, but even among those who share my hobby I'm a weirdo outsider. Like my interests aren't, you know, interesting. To anyone but myself.

And that's a hell of a way to feel. I dunno, maybe this belongs in RUSP but it's also a random thought so it belongs here too.

I just want games that don't require me to have a horde of gaming friends at my beck and call 24x7. No more AAA games for me!

tbh, to me it's kind of irrelevant if it's aaa or indie, because i often don't find anything of interest for either

i think people overfocus on "aaa" vs "indie" instead of asking themselves the more important question of "is this a game i like or would like"

because, let's be honest, aaa studios can produce things worth playing and indies can make trashfires that are best forgotten
