    Yeah, the game's dead already. There are less than one hundred people playing it at any time.
    I get the feeling that's going to be the only DLC they'll release from the road map before the game is completely abandoned.

    I love seeing my favorite series burn to ash before my eyes. <;3

    Been a fan since the original in 1999. And the finale of the series is a complete abomination worse than the Beast on crack. sigh

    Favorite Homeworld unit?

    Homeworld 1? Kushan Heavy Corvette.
    Catcalysm? Somtaaw Acolyte.
    Homeworld 2? Torn between Hiigaran Flak Frigate and Hiigaran Battlecruiser, though the Vaygr have some badass designs.
    Homeworld Mobile's designs are pretty much just modified 2's.
    3 isn't even worth mentioning.

    Mmmm interesting selection of ships you have there! All very nice choices. ;D

    For me, personally?
    HW1: Kadeshi Multibeam Frigate, cos it rolls like a crocodile when it fires
    HW:C: Kun Laan, you start with it, end with it, and she's such a useful ship. Dat siege cannon.
    HW2: Eughhhhhh uhhh they're all so laaaaaaaaaaaame...The Dreadnought? I like how it looks and it has a decent selection of guns?

    Oh, the Kadeshi Multibeam was amazing. I remember hearing about "Multibeam Frigates" in Cataclysm and was like "oh, fucking sweet!"...
    And then I built them in-game.
    Yeah, it was a bit of a disappointment to young me, after remembering the Kadeshi ones, lol.
    At least the Bentusi Super Acolyte made up for it. o_O
    I did like the Beast more, since you had access to older Homeworld ships, like the Turanic Bandits and Brigands. And the Heavy Corvettes, heh.
    In the files, apparently they had an unused Kushan Ion Frigate and Missile Destroyer, too. You can see the Ion Frigate on the back of the jewel case, but the Missile Destroyer is buried deep in the code.
    While the Hiigarans had some sweet designs, they weren't as iconic as their Homeworld 1 counterparts; the Vaygr's off-axis design was far more interesting, since they felt.. cruder, I guess?
    And as for 3... Yeah, 3's shit. The Incarnate ships are nothing but blocks. Like a lot of the game, the design behind it all failed miserably.

    "Trespassing!" A Jurassic Park: Trespasser AAR/Runthrough

    Making this thread for a fun AAR/runthrough of the game Trespasser. It'll also serve somewhat as a prototype for a later project I'd like to do. But the most important part is I hope it entertains and informs people of the obscure and absolutely janky yet adorable game. Posts for the first level...

    If you like Jurassic Park, I did make a playthrough thread!

    Lets turn a space opera into a story about three sad lesbian space-witches!

    Apparently there were tons of rewrites and changes, and it's said that Karan was originally meant to be the Incarnate Queen.
    Given that the story of Homeworld: Mobile had a throwaway line about her calling for unity between the Hiigarans, I'm wondering if that was meant to be the origins of her villain arc.
    Instead, we got giant talking heads, a "lonely lesbian" story arc, and gameplay so bland that it makes the ET game on Atari look fun.
    Oh, and eyebrow scrunching and "Sands and Sinners". Fucking hell.

    Haven't found a tool dedicated to feet pics, strangely enough.

    Given the Internet is the Internet, I thought one would be out in the wild by now...

    Find any AI model that does realistic/photorealistic pictures. Input feet pics as template. Input prompts like 'girly'. Presto!

    Probably need a beefy GPU though and running it on your own hardware.

    Ya know, I still could probably market my feet. :p Having visible, natural gaps between the toes is a highly desired trait [according to the quick Google search I did], and I've got that between my big toes and the next.
    Given I spend almost all my time walking around barefoot [housebound, so I really only go out into the garden] and have been for over 18 years now, maybe I could market my man feet as being "au naturale" from shoes and socks, lol.
    ...Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if people did pay for pics for feet like that.
    Huh. :unsure:

    Yeah, but I'd be hungry again in thirty minutes.

    I'd be doing the world a favour though. Fucking Chinese and their "ancient territorial claims" to other people's maritime borders. sigh

    You wouldn't know where I could get the Nyaruko novels, would you?

    Unfortunately, they haven't been officially translated into English -- the anime and OVA covers 1--7 and 11, though.
    Someone posted a Chinese translation online, but apparently it wasn't a good one, and I can't find the link for it.
    It might be on the subreddit somewhere, though. https://www.reddit.com/r/NyarkoSan/

    Well, your last profile post is no longer an accurate representation of your feelings. Amazing what an impending change of ownership can do, isn't it?

    Now that you pointed it out, it is amazing how a change of ownership has affected my view. I still have some distrust towards the staff and will eye their decisions with a (personally) critical eye, but my beef in particular was with the prior owners' ass-covering attempts. I'm giving the new owner a major benefit of the doubt here, as he seems to be going in the right direction by his postings compared to the "draconian double down and try to force things back on track for our vision of board-culture despite shilling for the owning company" views of the prior owners (and he suffered from the same shit all of us ex-SBers did from bullshit staff actions/agendas, too).
    I'm optimistic and hopeful. I just, again, hope time will tell.

    Fu*k the staff say what you mean at all times if you get banned or whatever so be it. Be a man and say what you mean whenever and wherever at all times.
    Jormungandr

    shrug Those were and are my feelings on the matter, and I stated them plainly. The change of ownership restored my faith in the site, even if the membership base itself has gone a bit batshit insane in some areas.
    Jormungandr
    I truly had faith in this site at its founding. For a while, my faith was justified, and people could communicate and debate where on Other Forums they'd be shut down or harassed.
    Now, however, the actions of the staff, particularly the owners/administrators, have shattered this faith. They are self-serving, caring only for their company and any future revenue it'll bring in, and seek to only cover their own asses in this turbulent political climate.

    To be blunt and a bit uncharitable, she and her friends basically threw a fit and tried to take their toys home when her "Venetian Coffee House" plan didn't work out because people are people. The board culture became as it is now, and she didn't like that, likely motivated because she realized that she couldn't market the forum with such a board culture.
    Of course, others know more and are free to correct me if I'm mistaken, but that's what I remember. shrug

    To be honest, this place is artificially 'sanitized' as well, but at least it isn't full p(reddit) tier of sanitized.
