disaster is the best possible outcome from an entertainment standpoint.

We did not go to the Mun because it was easy.

Oh man, watching them discover how impossible a perpendicular orbital rendezvous is was pretty great to watch.
That said, I am pretty shocked at how physically close they were able to get the vehicles.

Yeah when I paused it the closest I saw was less than two kilometres.
But I can't fathom how even if they create a matching orbit they get the Kerbils to jump from one ship to another at those speeds. They'd get crushed like a bug if the ships didn't smash into each other.
I think Alex is right; leave them up there.

At some point I need to finish The Dark Arisen content.
I did all the main quest stuff for Dragon's Dogma and loved it (although the story still makes very, very little sense to me), but I just stopped at that point.
Maybe after I finish KOTOR. And Shadowrun: Hong Kong. And Pillars of Eternity.
And Divinity: Original Sin.
And... oh god my backlog i am drowning

You have to get a very close stable orbit, then do burns to slowly match the speed and orbit.

the rule is "leave no man behind" but that doesn't account for, say, if the pilot decided to jetpack himself to death in the planet's atmosphere
the real lesson to learn here is to maybe consider installing solar panels and an electric motor for emergencies
so they can crash failed flights into something if need be
So it is possible then.
Do you have the Kerbil jump themselves or is it something more elegant?

I mean if they had docking equipment they could do that
so yeah the Kerbal needs to jump
Of course it's possible. It may be beyond their ability, but it's possible - people do it all the time in the real world. Given that their original stranded ships have no docking components, the Kerbals will have to just jump.
You can dock the ships (if they both have docking ports obviously) and then transfer Kerbals around.
Or you can EVA and go from one ship to the other.

LOOOOOOOL
it's funny how much of the science in that movie I understood solely because I played so much KSP
Antiwhippy

Man, don't starve is the prime example of why I don't buy early access anymore. I played so much in early access that I didn't want to touch it again once it's out.
they add so much in between though. I mean I already had 45 hours played but it's been long enough and they've added enough there's new things to butt my head against (SERIOUSLY ENTIRE CAVE SEGMENTS? WETNESS? BUNNY FARMING NO LONGER WORKS?!?!?!) that it's fun again while I still know how to do fairly basic things like get a crockpot up and going
His ideas are so stupid they work.

Oh I know, but I've run through the same segments so many times I don't feel up to running them again in the full game even though I knew that there are (and continues to be) a lot of changes.

Same thing happened with me and Sir, You Are Being Hunted. Granted that game wasn't very good when it finally came out.

Bah, only got 22gb of 32gb for Witcher last night. Oh well.
What's the holdup on the box foam thing? Is that a labor union problem where they can't get it done until it's all in or something weird? I really don't like that look and would like the personalized UPF space again.

after reviewing the numbers on their cleaning day streams, they decided that cardboard boxes are a key component of their aesthetic
$643 profit if you put the numbers in to tee spring i know dans come in and said that he makes money so I'm not 100% talking about him but its really easy to find out exactly how much you can make on tee spring it takes about 30seconds. who knows if there are other costs but next time you see someone "not making a profit" you can check their working.
i do think its a bit gross but then i would

"I was doing a bit of spring cleaning"
Why do people assume giant bomb wants their shit?
Guess it's better than that time they got actual garbage.
and this was pretty cute too

because they make videos of them unboxing it?

i just finished max payne 3 for the first time yesterday and decided to read ryan's review for the game. I tend to read reviews for things once im done to get a gauge on how accurate reviews can be and to feel out reviewer's opinions to see who thinks along the same lines as i do, so i know to seek out their reviews in the future.
fuck me, man, ryan could write the living shit out of a review. damn the universe for taking him.

I don't think it's that gross. The man is allowed to make money on his own name. Giant Bomb doesn't own Dan Ryckert.

I dont think this is gross. let the man make his bling
i think what was a bit gross was when Dan stated that they were waiting on people to send them mario party carts and that that was holding up the mario party feature. I mean you could expense that, right? Why put that on your audience like that?
I know it's a small thing and i know some time has passed but that irked me quite a bit
yeah of course any one can do anything
getting whales to spend their money on useless cosmetics is a time honoured tradition of the video games business.
They really said that?
The T-shirt stuff I have absolutely no issues with, but that's a little unsavory.
Then again, I was also a little weirded out by the last mailbag with the brand new Amazon stuff. It's one thing to send them old stuff you have lying around, it's another to buy them brand new "presents".
But you guys probably already had that conversation and I missed it.
Someone paid $60 for that tat. Better value than 2 Dan T-shirts I guess.
It is classic reward for behaviour. When asked directly if they want their old game junk, Jeff usually tells them to send it. It is only on here that we lement all the garbage the poor souls have to deal with. Better than sending junk food I would say.
Not to derail the narrative you have created but ...

I don't care that Dan makes and sells t-shirts.
I'm just confused and disappointed in the people who buy some of them.

I'm glad they're doing Kerbal a bit in advance so they can hit their heads against a brick wall for a while before seeing any tips from viewers.
They don't have nearly enough of the foam, I think someone said they have less than half of what they need. I love the dumb box setup (knowing it's only going to be temporary).

Unless a person is supporting some organization that supports hate or whatnot, I can never judge how a person spends money.
Lord knows I buy enough stupid shit.
Jeff said that they only have a third or a fourth of what they need at the start of Friday's UPF.
Also yeah, it's pretty clear that Jeff much prefers a normal studio to what they had before which was some equipment in the middle of a hallway.
A taste of the ghetto Sausalito days.
