Really? And yet I have people desperate to know what year it is, no?

So why wouldn't others ponder speed/distance etc.

No. I stick by my position. It's not needed and just opens up both a can of worms and would take time to work out (and even then I could get wrong). Time which is time better spent on script and coding.

I'm not moving on this as it would be a nugatory exercise to do properly, and I'm not going to just pull a year out of my arse.
You could have just said so in the first place, you know. Instead of 2019.

Yes Smuttress.

I managed to find out that the internet archive has penthouse mags from the 70's that were ocr'd. whatever ocr program they used was pretty rough, but I don't know how else i will find the kind of gems that a 70's penthouse forum article contains. Newer letters are pretty competent by comparison. I just read one that started with the author bragging about his room mates 10 inch cut cock while he only has a piddling uncut 9 inches.

Ah, yes, the world-renown Horsecock Brothers. :rolleyes: Of course, this could just be proof that all of the games on this site are actually "accurate" depictions of the male anatomy. (And here's another eyeroll... :rolleyes: )

Any key? Where's the any key?!?!

My thought process (and I assume others were similar) was this, even knowing it was his sister as the player, I figured all I needed to do was get a hug from her (or kiss on the cheek) and keep Chris from doing the same (protect my sister from a sexual predator :sneaky:)... And with some of what I have seen, that might not be too hard, on the other hand, I have seen animosity like that turn into sexual tension... hard to say.
I tried it, but my disabled and dyslexic ass was unable to manage the combat...
I spent 8 months on Origins, just exploring various places, with different characters, poking my nose into every nook and cranny before I even thought about taking someone through the end game... lol
I hear that is what is required to win over masses and win polls, but what do I know?
Won't the real slim Becca please stand up, please stand up...
Kelly: Why the hell did my stupid brother have to go and get our family name legally changed like this? Did he think I wanted to go around with this moniker? Now I have to go find someone
666AF (After FTL drives were invented).
My mom calls her Rosie, it's very inefficient. it has bristles to sweep things into the main vacuum part, so I call it a 'broomba'.
That would make a lot of things easier, trying to remove a background can be quite challenging, even before I lost partial use of my right arm.
Usually that is me, though I am having a hard time in this one... lol
Well, no one had posted anything when I did mine, and I didn't want it to go without an entry. I am just glad to have gotten the ball rolling. XD
MY hands?!?!!? Shit! I drop things all the time! We're fucked everyone, it's official!

A bit of both maybe? I know I went too slow, but I played every origin, every gender, tried things in different orders, with different companions, classes, and so on. I spent about that much time on Wizardry 7 too...

It also makes a difference that I have a very tiny budget for games, so I didn't have a lot to choose from. :whistle:

By the way, check those game stores during sales time, you can usually get things for way over 50% discount.

But when you try to make up a new world, you start thinking about how everything is related to everything, how are the new clothes made, where you find fuel and other energy resources, what kind of currency is used, how the banks work, what are the politics in place, etc. A simple detail might call for a lot of explanations, and sometimes, it might be best to leave out details that have no direct incidence on the story.
Don't forget disruptive technologies that come along. Where everything before has to be torn down to use them. A few examples would be Nuclear power, Quantum Computer or Reversible computing where basically the whole internet will need to be re-written and re-fabricated with new components to work with it.

The largest is 13.5/34.29 (Inches and CM) girth about the size of a forearm before the elbow owned by Jonah Falcon

Which just makes me feel bad for people he bottoms out in, probably stabs them in an organ.

I hate using those stores, and one game every year or 3 is usually my limit cost wise. Last game I bought was Fallout4, and boy was that a disappointment. I might get CP2077 on GOG next year, but that is about the only AAA title on my radar right now.

You dislike Steam? Okay. GOG does get some sales too. Might be able to make that 3 game expenditure to 9 for no money increase.

But honestly the AAA aren't always best games that come out in a year, a ton of indie ones are grand. Pathfinder: Kingmaker is a great game if you are into old Neverwinter nights like gaming. Fell Seal: Arbiter is great for someone who is a final fantasy tactics fan. Also maybe you might want to be on the look out for Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2

With a 80-90% discount you can probably buy a few more games per year.;)

More seriously, I totally get you. I've been looking for how long it would take a few boat in the 11th century to go from Greenland to Canada. By chance, there is historical data about this. But when you try to make up a new world, you start thinking about how everything is related to everything, how are the new clothes made, where you find fuel and other energy resources, what kind of currency is used, how the banks work, what are the politics in place, etc. A simple detail might call for a lot of explanations, and sometimes, it might be best to leave out details that have no direct incidence on the story.


I actually disagree. You know if the year is mentioned, we're going to play around it, start asking questions, try to tweak it to feed our theories, etc.
Yep. For the novel I'm working on I have:
Government
Political Structures (and parties, and how voting works, and representation, etc)
Military Structure
Civil Service
Housing / Education / Healthcare / Transportation (air, land, sea, space sub-light and FTL)
Communication (and how FTL communication works)
Networking
AI
Food production
Basic goods production
Heavy industry
Energy production
Travel speeds and travel times between systems
etc
etc
etc

I actually have a private wiki that I keep up to date with all this stuff so I can refer back and make sure I'm not contradicting myself.

Don't forget disruptive technologies that come along. Where everything before has to be torn down to use them. A few examples would be Nuclear power, Quantum Computer or Reversible computing where basically the whole internet will need to be re-written and re-fabricated with new components to work with it.

...
And don't forget disruptive events like global conflict or globally-impacting climate change. (Plays a major role in my novel's back-story)

So, yeah, it would be easy to fall down the rabbit hole on this one. Better that we just know "it's in the future" and leave it at that.

I thought about doing a *poof* back out, but I don't want to steal Notty's IP. ;)

I was reading it that I'm not allowed to be "not straight" with anyone else...

*is owned!*
We all know how it is sweety, you've had a busy day, you are hungry....

You get home and you scour the house for food. You search the cupboards but you haven't been shopping yet, you search the fridge but all you have is some pineapple juice and baby bells....

You wonder what to do, then it dawns on you .... take away.

Suddenly your friendly neighbourhood ginger lesbian turns up but Notty is still hungry....

Ava, being the awesome friend she is, offers you the only thing you need ever eat.

She sits down, spreads apart those thighs and offers you a hot, juicy, succulent ..... chicken leg because Ava looks after her friends well being.

I'm rooting so hard for angry sex with Chris you have no idea

It isn't too complicated. My 2 cents:
The time it takes a vessel to reach a destination is limited by light speed (but who says it must? Plenty of sci-fi stuff use faster-than-light travel. Though FTL travel is pretty much indistinguishable from time travel into the past, so that might get messy).

A few light years is enough to cover the closest stars. 5-10 light years is reasonable for this setting. Interestingly, time passes differently aboard the ship proportional to the travel speed where faster speed means shorter time, and where light speed travel is instant.
You have already kinda sorta revealed that the travel time is not extreme (like years) so that means the ship must be travelling at pretty close to the speed of light (or maybe even faster). To be consistent with real life physics such a journey should take 5-10 years from the viewpoint of an Earth or Ophion observer. A round trip is thus 10-20 years, but the people travelling would experience anything from seconds to many years depending on the speed. A small drawback of this system is that any transmissions from Earth would arrive on Ophion with the same time lag. The news from Earth would thus be 5-10 years old.

If you don't want to be bothered with the difference in time passed, then wormhole physics could solve that for you. If space is "bent" so that two distant regions somehow become connected then pretty much anything goes and everything could be in "real time" without any difference in the progression of time depending on if you are on the ship or not.

I totally understand why you don't want to touch this subject, but honestly I think it would be really cool if you did.
