I think everyone’s got the CAD/3D programs covered, so a slightly “out there” answer:
If you’re just doing 2D blueprints for yourself, do you actually just need a 2D vector program for doing a scale drawing with measurements?
I’ve done a lot of floorplans / layouts/ site maps etc using Inkscape, for instance.
It depends on exactly what you’re wanting out the other end - so you may be lacking a lot of the features in a full CAD program, but the learning curve is comparatively so shallow that you might have a working plan by the end of the day, rather than the end of the month.
These three are brothers from the same litter, and they’re best mates 90% of the time, thankfully :)
And rightly so. We just call them “serial ports” these days.
That’s very impressive. My personal best was 3:
Many sprawling dungeon owners require regular deliveries of cheese wheels, ham legs and apples, to store on the numerous treasure chests spread around the different floors of their dungeons.
They’re meant to be part of the subsidised dungeon canteen offer arranged by the Dungeon Workers Trade Union, but selfish adventurers keep coming in and pilfering them.
Much of Britain, certainly.
They can get through a gap of 1-2mm (about 1/32 - 1/16 inches) through cracks round door frames, along the holes for water pipes, in tiny cracks between bricks or concrete.
They have an amazing sense of smell and are especially fond of cat food or that tiny bit of lettuce that fell underneath the fridge.
I’m a big fan of this one. I’d recommend it to anyone who likes Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, Space Haven etc. Seems to be in committed and constant development for both content and bugfixes.
That’s beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I hope you’re treating it with respect and getting it framed :)
Someone could proof-read and edit forms so all the questions can be answered truthfully and they are possible to fill in.
W*y ar* pe*ple s* fucking ups*t w*th a b*t of cunting c*nsorship? Sur*ly *t do*sn’t shitting m*tter *f som*one w*nts t* c*nsor s*me of the*r twatting w*rds?
Hopefully by that point, it can also be used to generate a fake video file of “someone paying attention” to output to a virtual camera :)
It depends where it was in the country. Even now, after fast travel, radio, television etc, you can still get completely different vowels within 100 miles.
If I took the word “road” and travelled 100 miles either North/South/East/West, I could find it pronounced (as it would sound to me) as reud, raad, rird or roud.

Yes, it does appear that “all-you-can-drink” seems to be part of the offer in many (perhaps all?) cases.
Anyway, definitely don’t start taking off your trousers and underwear.
I had a similar problem with a cafe bar doing a “Bottomless Brunch”.
Anyway, it turns out it’s some weird, trendy new phrase for “all-you-can-eat” or “buffet”.
It is not in any way along the same lines as a “Topless Beach”.
Brilliant, thanks. I’ll see how I get on with Pushing Ice, but popped the others on the wishlist. I imagine I will very much like stuff like this, so added Fred Saberhagen too (The Berserker ones I’ve heard of before).
Thanks for the suggestion, his stuff looks interesting. I realised I already have (but haven’t yet read) “Pushing Ice”, which looks like a standalone novel - but looks like there’s also a whole set of works in the “Revelation Space” universe. Any recommendations of specific books of his?
You can only use Apple Branded iSocks™.
If you want to use normal socks you need an adapter.
This is a really cool collection. Are they all part of the same “sci-fi universe”, or even part of a larger graphic novel or comic?
Bonus “cool points” for having a cross section of a building with lots of tiny people attacking each other in gory ways :)
