Hell, just copying the previous out of my text file was as easy as throwing the cursor somewhere in the middle, hitting cmd-b a few times, then shift-option-leftarrow.
Get me that in SublimeText or Atom and I'm there like a dudebro on vape.
Sublime is extensible via Python. Anything I need in Sublime, I can write a Python script for. That fact is slowly winning me over, since I can create any missing feature I need.

The real problem is when someone thinks they're Kosh. Especially because when they do, they're usually actually acting like Morden.
(I have no actual examples, I just wanted to join the Babylon 5 Philosophical Statement Club.)

I use an amazing text editor called BBEdit. It's amazing because it does one thing no other text editor does: Puts in two selection insert points, one at the start and one at the end. When I'm coding Mu*, this is critical. So I use it and love it.
On the most recent update they changed the default behavior of Tab.
Tab.
Okay, so it took me five minutes to figure out that it's going to drive me insane and another three to figure out what was going on, but c'mon, guys! TAB!
I'm so glad that inanity from BareBones didn't only bite me. That change was actually enough to make me switch my default editor to Sublime.
@Sparks Agree w @Roz on this one. DMing is gonna steal that last bit of life force. Here, I'll sit in your place -- do they like crying in fetal positions? (I really won't, though. I do not volunteer.)
I arranged someone else to guest-GM, and handed them my notes for the session. Because you are right; I would be dead by the end.
@Thenomain Already read that comic. I wish it updated more often.
(It gets extra points for the fact that the snarky half-alien character is named Aeslinn.)
@Sparks ...I don't know what you just said. To the old farts corner with me!
You're only like, what, 3 months older than me?!

I'm not sure if I should be proud to be in such company, or take this as a message that we're all doing this forum wrong.
@Sparks I am so not cool enough to be a galactic magic cartoon babe. Must confer with @Meg.
We can just go make a runner-up biker gang of other, lesser-known magical girls. Like Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne and Card Captor Sakura.

SO, in the vein of anger at RL—despite the fact I went to bed a bit earlier than usual last night, I still woke up with a raging migraine and feeling like I got no sleep. Worse still, I have strategy meetings with folks who flew in internationally today (and then a D&D game to GM for co-workers afterwards!), so I need my game face on, but really all I want to do is lay down on the floor, cover my head to shut out all light and noise, and pass out.
I... used to play? I reinstalled and toyed with it a bit, but I'm still not sure where I actually would want to start in order to get into more exploration.
@Three-Eyed-Crow said in Most active scifi games right now?:
My experience is more...
There's a certain audience for sim space (I'm not in this group).
There's a certain audience who prefer environments where travel is just free-form RP'd or done via GM fiat (I'm in this group).
The VEN diagram overlaps a little bit, but not very much, so if you make one type of game, it won't appeal to the other type of players. Some people will lump simulated space or grudgingly accept the lack of it, but I feel like this is just a different style of play at its core.
I like both, I admit. If travel isn't the point of things, I want to just skip from Point A to Point B.
But I really, really love the idea of an exploration system on a game. Whether that's a game where you search for resources (Mass Effect game set in London during the Reaper War, where you're scavenging for resources to keep your hidden refugee camp alive), a game where you find ancient temples and ruins and caverns, or a game where you're on a ship and can find derelicts or ore-rich asteroids or giant blocks of ice to haul out to Ceres or (god help you) Eros...
I like the idea of an exploration system because it gives people things to do that do not require GMs, and gives an interesting avenue GMs can use to introduce things (throw a GM'd event hook out there into the wilds to be found), etc.

This is one of the possible settings that I'm considering for the Evennia based game that me and some of my friends have been working on
I would be super interested if you did.
Guaranteed success!
I won't lie, the idea of a spaceflight system written for Evennia excites me. You could even calculate the rough G force based on ship velocity, so you know if everything's on the float or whether you better be strapped into a chair and on the juice.
Heck, you could even use the web integration to make a live solar system map showing the position of ships and various solar bodies.

In other RL anger related posts, (sorry for the double post), I woke up with a fucking horrible migraine and I don't want to go to work, but I have used up most of my PTO. So I have no choice.

Depending on where you diverge from the canon timeline, you could use either Tycho Station or the Ring Station as the main RP hub. (Ring Station in particular would be awesome, since you could have players trying to figure out how everything actually even works.)
People could also have 'ship crews' who would periodically go off and do other things—you have an alt on the RP hub station, and maybe an alt on a freighter like the Rocinante or on an ice hauler like the Canterbury or an MCRN ship like the _Cydonia...

@Sparks Maybe if you were sweeter they would be, too!
Look, I have a @clue literally saying that I (and many others) am delicious to demons. I don't want to be any sweeter. I aspire to be bitter and unappetizing!

Why can't I downvote this.
