Re: The Rebellious Three

Part 6 Atbevete system space The Asp dove straight for the planet’s surface once it arrived in the system, passing the behemoths guarding the spacelane. Jacob couldn’t help but gape as they passed by the massive ships and watched the small cluster of Vipers that buzzed around the giants, on standby...

Re: The Rebellious Three

Part 5 Jacob collapsed on his bunk, drifting in his thoughts. The Artemis was sitting idly in space while the crew determined who their next target was. She hadn’t spoken to him since they returned from the station, but he knew she was upset he hadn’t done anything to distance themselves from the s...

Re: The Rebellious Three

Part 4 Tioranin planetary surface The two figures stopped in the middle of the sidewalk during the crisp Tioranin dawn. They faced each other, talking in hushed whispers while their eyes surveyed their surroundings. “Well?” “We’ve cracked it. Here it is.” They exchanged a flash drive, and the recip...

Re: The Rebellious Three

Part 3 When he got up, Jacob was feeling better, energized even. The drugs were working wonders, nursing his body back to health at a breakneck pace. But a dark cloud hung over his thoughts. His pool of credits was drying up, and the supplies he bought were expensive, using up the last of his reser...

Part 2 Tioranin planetary surface, Central Government Building “God damn it !” Jeremy Ross slammed his fist against his desk another time. The skin on his knuckles tore and a guard stepped forward to begin wrapping his hand in gauze. Jeremy slumped back into his chair when he was finished and his g...

The Rebellious Three

This is a continuation of the events in The Systems Three . Because this is a sequel, reading the first is recommended, but not required. I like to think that because of the way this was written and how the first one ends, you can get away without it. Either that or I'm not as clever as I think (whi...

Amusing Little Subreddit

I don't know why, but I find people talking about real life like it's an MMO absolutely hilarious.

Thought I'd share:

Re: Video Games and the Cold War

In that case you might find the second segment more interesting. It's all about space, and if I remember correctly, Space Invaders makes an appearance.

Video Games and the Cold War

Since we're all gamers here, I figured I'd share this with you guys. Highly recommend watching it. (Wrote this on mobile so links might be a bit funny.)

Re: Capture game footage on Windows 10

Actually, forget my last post. I just tried it with Oolite and my frames dropped like a rock. I've had a positive experience with OBS but it crapped out here, probably 'cause I'm on a laptop and not a desktop, and that might not've happened otherwise. I don't have Oolite on my desktop so I can't tes...

Re: Capture game footage on Windows 10

For recording, Open Broadcaster Software is also a nice program (Haven't tried ezvid so I can't really compare). Lots of options, but I don't really know what they all do :lol: . When I use it though, it seems like it impacts game performance quite a bit. Don't know if it's because I don't understan...

Re: The Systems Three

Thanks for the compliments, I had my doubts about it when I was typing it up. I'm just glad I could help kill a bit of time. I know the ending is kind of a downer, and so if I decide to write again it'll probably try to be a little more uplifting. As for a sequels, when I was thinking this up, I did...

Re: The Systems Three

Thanks, it's my first crack at some fiction. I don't think I'm very good at it yet. Any chance the cobbie1 bore an escape capsule? :wink: Well this was based on a quick run-in that happened a while ago. I don't recall seeing one, so this is the end of David's story :(. If it makes you feel better th...

Re: The Systems Three

Rex left David and Taylor to go find some spare troops and a ship to send up to the relay with them. They were left on their own for a bit, but a makeshift firing range caught Taylor’s eye. She rushed over and David, with little else to do, reluctantly followed her. She approached the range’s superv...
