Re: News Thread
This always happens. The scientists keeps stating again and again that it might be true and that they still need to verify it, and a lot of work still needs to be done to verify it. And, naturally, people respond as if it's all already confirmed. Dude, the article itself repeats that it's not yet co...

Re: Akinator, the game that reads your mind!
I stumped it repeatedly and pissed it off with Madeline.
Among its guesses were Angela Merkel, Amy Pond (probably thanks to the red hair), and Beren Saat (and this was after I answered "No" to Does your character speak Turkish).

Re: Screwed by Software
Bad News: I've had my laptop looked at, and the guys at the service center could do nothing except reinstall the OS. This, of course, means that I'm going to have to reinstall several programs and drivers, which is going to take a while. Good News: It turns out that I had the foresight to save most ...

Screwed by Software
I am as pissed off as pissed off can be. I'm trying to restrain myself to prevent an all caps rant, so I'm just going to list my grievances in a simple bullet point form: > For the past three weeks I've been so busy I've had little free time to work on my drawings or anything else. > Now I finally d...

Re: Art Thread (Concerns)
I like it, and the potential for cyberpunky pseudo-hard Mars sci-fi stories is cools. What WILL be the story, btw? UPSIDE DOWN SPACE BAYLOR Well, the basic story is that Tyler's grandpa, Thaddeus, is pushing to turn the Mars colony from isolated research station into an actual colony with actual fa...

Re: Moby builds a bigass bling Gundam
God, that's a lot of parts. Hell, that thing looks like it has more parts than both my old aircraft carrier models and my German destroyer model combined, and then some.
Two questions:
1. Around how many parts does it have?
2. Does it need any detail painting afterward?

In the original present-day setting he was supposed to. His current characterization doesn't thanks to future!medical science, but does walk with a very slight limp that's not so noticeable on lower-gravity Mars.

Help with Sources for Mars Colonization
I've been seriously thinking of finally settling down to write a long-term story idea instead of getting inspired by bursts of ideas every now and then, only to lose interest later. I decided to do so by going back to my sci-fi roots. I'm planning to write an anthology of stories set in some unspeci...

Apparently the guy who runs that Badass of the Week site has another book coming out, and the fellow copy editor sitting right beside me is editing it. Lucky her.

You better have a lot of money then. In vanity publishing the aspiring author has to shell out cash to purchase publishing services.

I think that's an interesting concept, but how are we going to interact? Feud over 'neutral' Earths that developed without any life on them? Fight each other with portal terror attacks?
