Oolite Bulletins

Surely you'd be able to park the house outside the pub for a few hours? I laughed far too hard at that. I may have done myself a mischief. :D Well, partly the desired effect. The mental image of a council tow-truck, tooled up for one of those "moving the house" rigs that the Merkins like ...

So, which cart should go before which horse? This is a case where I can only control what my OXP (PF2) is doing. In this case, I'm flagging that it is incompatible with some of these older "fix" OXPs. When Oolite sees that a mod has flagged other as incompatible, it will not load the repo...

Except ... for some reason the email system has sent me the "Re: New Pilot Registration" message, which I've had repeated at intervals before but I haven't been able to pin it so tightly to doing a significant OXP change before now. Whose OXP is that from? That email is native to the emai...

Third rinse - removed "Planetfall Markets" - and now I'm getting no complaints. Except ... for some reason the email system has sent me the "Re: New Pilot Registration" message, which I've had repeated at intervals before but I haven't been able to pin it so tightly to doing a s...

rather than something that needs a manifest entry. ... YET. If people like it, there will be demand. (Waiting for the "image heavy resource pack" to finish downloading.) Downloaded, re-started ; red flags warning of an incompatibility between "Planetfall" and "Planetfall Ma...

Come on - does nobody know the name of the book and film(s) in which this nameless one appeared.

Disembodied with Alan Moore's squid avocado molester for first place and ffutures for second with DC's less childish offering. And NiteOwl gets third for I was watching a few weeks ago, raising a yentacle to the ghost of Harryhausen! And now it looks like ffutures is trying for the Chalice again. OK...

There's no way to update/check the XBox 360 controller firmware without an XBox 360 - even the XBox Accessories App for Windows does not support this controller any more. (Which is really annoying considering how well it's integrated into Steam - for example - tapping the XBox button on the 360 con...

From what I can remember, that's actually one of the milder Zirk stories. Re starfish and their relatives sea urchins, and also the previous question, aquarists have been 3D printing little hats for urchins which they use to cover certain organs instead of little pebbles or shells. https://www.bore...

Whatever, Disembodied with Alan Moore's squid avocado molester for first place and ffutures for second with DC's less childish offering. And NiteOwl gets third for I was watching a few weeks ago, raising a yentacle to the ghost of Harryhausen! Quite possibly one of the original Sucker films - IT CAM...

Starro The Conqueror from DC comics - suckers galore! A giant starfish thing that fires off swarms of smaller starfish that use their suckers etc. to latch onto people and mind-control them. VERY icky! https://www.ign.com/articles/suicide-squad-starro-who-is-kaiju-starfish https://youtu.be/ss3k329_...

Examples of suckers in an SF connotation, with multiple bonus points for making it disturbingly sexual. For your consideration … Noctupulis the Night-Squid, from the Adventures of Zirk (a character from the equally dubious adventures of Axel Pressbutton and Laser Eraser). The four-page story, by St...

I have a vague memory (and no remaining copies) of "Dirk Gently" being frequently be-topped with a battered fedora of dubious parentage and even more dubious relationship to Indiana "Woof" Jones? If, of course, you accept the Holistic DA as being "SF", which is a very ...
