The Raptor has computers that stop the pilot from being a dumbass and crashing into some poor lady's garden...kinda like traction control on a car...then of course, there's Jeremy Clarksons of aviation as well...

You suggest to women that they disable their bump-maps to mitigate cellulite.

That's not even necessarily Orbiter-related.

You know you're addicted to Orbiter when... you make vessel add-ons for it. (I know, that was plain)

When you try that, get slapped by said woman, and then wonder how much delta-v her hand added to your head.

When you get slapped by her and say: "Who included collision detection?"

And upon understanding you can feel the pain you go "WOW! Force feedback!"

that I do as well, but I realized how addicted I was when my main install passed 4.5 GB-And I make backups of the thing! Funny how Orbiter really destroyed all interest in playing video games for me (unless you count orbiter)

Welcome to the clan...

I had an addiction moment today. A skein of geese swooped round over my head to land into the wind on a lake - my first thought was "Ah, cool, they're doing the HAC!".......

When you see a job post for a "Rough terrain FTL operator" and think about how difficult that must be, travelling through an asteroid belt at FTL...

When you and your friend launch a space race to see who can get to each planet in the solar system first, starting with Mars. Definitely funner then any other kind of game involving competition

SolarLiner · 08-22-2012, 08:32 PM

... when I make a big mistake, I wonder you coded me.
