Hard Sci Fi

Constantinople. Ended... I'm not that very good with endings especially since gaming has few opportunities to see the game through given the responsibilities adult life thrusts upon us. Anyway, glad I capped that well and moved on. Next Time I'll work on a better ending and better prep... for now I'm happy to focus on my Comic work.

Hard Sci Fi. I can't understand all those physics breaking tech that allow faster than light travel, artificial gravity or portable HIGH energy weapons. A lot of sci-fi geeks aren't economics geeks so i guess the concepts of infrastructure and practicality eluded them when they thought up these things till now. Now a days there is a more sober look at future tech given such understandings.

Like Lasers or portable high energy weapons. The cost and complexity to build a laser gun will never outweigh the simplicity, ease of maintenance, and economic advantages of a gun. Its more practical to send export AK-47 to another planet than Laser Guns, when you never have to worry about maintenance or spare parts.

...Artificial Gravity and Faster than light. Why recreate the force of gravity when you can simulate it with centrifugal force (and repair such a contraption when it breaks) or Why travel to other stars when The resources of this solar system should be enough to create habitats and metropli enough to fuel human expansion for thousands of years?

Anyway just thinkiing out loud.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
