i learned something fun: goodwill sells kitchen knives for a dollar a pop. they’re gonna be scuffed. if you get a reversible coarse/fine whetstone, you can practice sharpening your knife. if you do a good job of sharpening your knife, it will be sharp. if you fuck it up, it was a dollar.

hope this helps.

a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing

Same. I think it’s ghastly that an internet where individuals are behaving safely is an internet where every single comment is the same sterile clank.

i didn’t like ∆V, but i almost loved it. i thought it was neat that you could hire crew that gave different bonuses depending upon their specialty and experience. i thought it was neat that your crew can recognize other folks you come across in the rings. i thought it was really neat when one of those strangers told my crewmate about an anomalous lidar contact they made further in.

as i got closer to coordinates they shared, tracking this enormous lidar contact: it occured to me that if the developers had seized upon this moment with eldritch horror that it would be my favorite game ever. i felt scared, if that rock turned around and had an eye and then a dozen rock tentacles busted into my ship and squeezed all the blood out of my crew – it would have been my favorite game.
