boomer music? lol what is that, like classic rock? oh the horrors

I don't even know what most of it is, but like 60s, 70s stuff. I'd be happy if it were 80s stuff. 

The campaign went terribly. It turns out that rats are pretty hard to shoot. Ragnar managed to punch them all to death, but not without taking a few bites. Esthaevys refused to heal him, despite having the literal best medical resources in the planet on hand.

Ragnar, with no medical skills, did a terrible job of patching himself up. There's an old saying that urine cures wounds, but for some reason he got infected within hours and passed out on the trip back.

In less than 4 hours, he was dead.

Esthaevys, resident psychopath, decided that the body was not worth hauling back, and dumped it somewhere.

Micchan was very unhappy with the sudden turn of events, but is coping well.

Strictly in the car lol. I kinda hate radio because most DJs are horrible. There's one business radio station with good DJs, but it plays boomer music.

bruh how?? I am quite active and have a fast metabolism and im 86 kg

Is that like 86 kg of muscle? Because I'd be obese at that weight with my height. 50kg is really skinny though.

I tried, but it made it worse. Now I just procrastinate on eating. The side effect of intermittent fasting is it makes your stomach smaller, so you want to eat less.

Several days later...

Several raiders hit from the various tribes, but many of them were one shot killed by Esthaevys. A couple of them were captured, notably a wild man named Black (I swear I didn't edit the name). 

Micchan's cooking gives everyone some food poisoning, but everyone recovers. Food supplies flourish as rice and potato farms are set up. A simple wood fired generator provides refrigeration and food storage.

A few pigs, a ram, and a yak joined the group. A couple of boomerlopes are trained - giving access to chemfuel in the future.

Oh! Ragnar proposed to Micchan and the two of them are getting married.

But the wedding will have to wait. A contact from the Syndicate informs us of a nearby resource stash, with only a pair of rats guarding it. A bit of high quality glitterworld medicine, as well as a neurotrainer. The location is a nearby ancient graveyard. Ragnar and Esthaevys set off to graverob retrieve the artifacts.

Why I'm the nudist? 

RNGesus wanted fanservice girl

Day 4.

Things are going well, but still quiet.

We have set up plans for the new colony.

Esthaevys has been drafting defense ideas and shooting wolves.

The others have been hauling food and resources, and building structures.

Wolves are making for some decent subsistence food, but we'll need to get food storage and air conditioning up soon.

Micchan has requested a double bed for some reason.

The settlement has been given a name, Urithuru.

They're both similar, can't tell the difference.

I don't really like it by itself. It's like soy sauce on bread. However, Marmite makes some of the best damn chicken I've ever tasted. 

The spaceship Alethkar is on a routine mission doing routine stuff. On the 12th of Decembary, for reasons unknown, the spaceship crashes on an unknown planet, just east of Old Reindeer Peaks. 

(yes I spent way too much time modifying the factions)

Only three survivors crawled out of the wreckage:

1. Esthaevys, who got some of my 99999 ppu food IRL and wouldn't return it, so I'm drafting him as the resident psychopath.

2. Micchan, humble nudist and aspiring doctor

3. Ragnar, old farmhand but good with a gun

Day 1:

• The team salvaged whatever junk was lying around
• Ragnar and Micchan built up a quick storehouse for the junk, and some beds
• Esthaevys ran around shooting wolves and lynxes, and most of the smaller predators

Before we realize it, it was night. Good night, sweet colonists.

2. Windows Phone 10. Lets all just remember Microsoft's past CEO's quote here. Ballmer: iPhone has no chance of gaining significant market share.

Lots of interesting stories around this. Like Android was built to compete with Symbian and MS, not iOS. They had to take some time to redesign after iOS came out because it was so shit compared to the iOS.

Funny you left out Symbian too. That was a monopoly for a while and it was horrid to develop for. The original smartphone.

Linux, because Android

Windows is really good tbf. I've been using Mac for years, only because I have to, but I'd happily switch to Windows given the choice.

Someone reminded me that I still owe everyone a Rimworld run. I guess most of the people then are not here anymore, but a promise is a promise.

I haven't played Rimworld in years, so I'm probably really bad. So everyone is probably going to die fast and die horribly. Classic run, settings as below:

No mods. But if you have any good suggestions that don't mess up the balance too much, I'm open to it.

Oh, and I'll rename the factions to P&W alliances

I'll pick from the list based on whoever's skills matches first, and that includes immigrants and slaves.

Yeah, I think I'd lose against both. But I'd rather get scalped by a Predator than uhhh what the Xenomorphs do.

Closest barber/hairdresser is 400 miles away.  I cut my own with clippers

Where do you live? I bet even easter island has barbers.

Yeah, my dad's got a fairly expensive grill, but we don't really use it as it's a mess to clean. I kinda thought it was a waste of money at first, but damn the good grills really show you what a BBQ should be like.

Idk how GoG 2 is so high. All the 2 movies are at the bottom of the list IMO, especially Iron Man 2.

I liked Dr Strange, and all the Captain America movies, especially Civil War. Great fight scenes since he can't just shoot lasers from his hands or whatever.

Black Panther and Captain Marvel forced a moral theme. It worked for BP, not so much for Captain Marvel.

lol am I really the only one who loves the plain ones?

About neck length. It can be shorter, but I can survive like a year without cutting it.

Carrot. It's healthier than potato. You can blend it and drink it. You can use it as a sweetener.

Calzones are nice but I like seeing the toppings.

I like music as a medium of storytelling but I never saw a musical I liked. It feels a bit forced.

Coke and Pepsi are sold together everywhere here. Any shop that sells ones will also sell the other. No need for shopkeepers to pick a side and risk losing revenue. 

Not always. I think fast food joints get soda at like 16 cents a liter, but they need to stick to one or the other. Hot dog vendors are a different story, but they still get offered good deals for exclusivity.

Coke Zero is nasty stuff. Had friends go morbidly obese off the sugar free stuff and I gained like 5 kg in a month. And it tastes terrible. I'd rather just stick to good old water.

Needs a preferably vegetarian option. It's not a religion or a full commitment, just a dietary and environmental choice.
