Yes it is, if you have the means to do so. Embrace that inner child

Hurricane Harvey was a bastard of a storm.

I was up all hours of the night for days on end keeping tabs on the flood control reservoir at the end of my street only a few houses away, it got dangerously close to overflowing but fortunately never did.

Craziest thing, I remember being inside my house in the middle of the day all dark no power, and I hear the unmistakable sound of a military helicopter getting closer and closer and suddenly the house was starting to shake. I ran outside and looked up and there was a Blackhawk hovering no higher than 50 meters directly above my house and a soldier poking their head out the side looking straight down, I swear we made eye contact it was so close. Fucking wild.

Playing Descent II online was one of the highlights of my childhood back in the early days of internet gaming. The community was excellent too, with a lot of custom maps created using the D2 Level Builder, which I got pretty good with myself haha.

Perfect example of this is the movie Dogma. Kevin Smith has stated he would love to do a follow up on it, but he as the creator can’t because the IP is owned personally by Harvey Weinstein, and he refuses to give money to Harvey to license or buy it because obvious reasons. So, his own creation is locked away from him because a monster put up the money for the original before Kevin or most people knew they were a monster.

That’s because it probably was

Kerbal Space Program 1. I bought it in early beta for like $14, have received all subsequent updates for free because I bought it so early, sunk literally thousands of hours of enjoyment into it and come out with a solid basic understanding of orbital mechanics.

I cant think of a better return on investment I’ve ever made.

I’ve tried to quit cigarettes more times than I can count, and replacing it with vaping has been the only thing that’s worked for me. Haven’t had a puff of a cigarette since June of 2020. Is it good for you? Hell no, and I’m still working on cutting vape too. But, it’s got to be better. I don’t wake up coughing every morning anymore, and I can exercise more without wheezing.

I bought Kerbal Space Program 1 for $14 when it was in version 0.16 I think, before it was in early access on Steam. I’ve received all updates and DLC for free since then because I got in before a certain date, logged definitely thousands possibly near 10k hours in it, and it is by far the biggest bang for my buck I’ve ever gotten from a video game ever. Thank you HarvesteR and original dev team!

Highly recommend the ice caves at Eisriesenwelt! We visited Salzburg many years ago and made a day trip out to this cavern system and it was an awesome experience. Also highly recommended stopping and having a pint and lunch at the restaurant between the skylift and the rest of the walk up the mountain. Breathtaking view for a meal.

Fuck off

r/Aviation and r/KerbalSpaceProgram equivalents would be welcomed by me.
