Confabulation is a common sign that I need to get more sleep. Thanks for the comment, I'm going the hell to bed. Goodnight, pal!

I've got to feel bad for the main character. He lost the instruction book.....twice.

I handle it in what's pretty much normal "Hyperdrive". I don't expose the fact that it's all smoke and mirrors and pseudoscientific gobbeldygook.

There are little generators forming a network all over the inside hull, between it and the outside hull. When powered (from capacitors, usually), they generate a "transition field" that shifts the ship into hyperspace. Once it's there, the ship travels from point A to point B via the "hyperdrive" in the center of the ship. (There's a backup one, too, BTW) Then the little generators slowly power down, and the ship slips gently back into normal space. The engineers immediately go over the field generator web and capacitors to make sure they're shipshape. The ship's power core starts recharging the capacitors, and then they go over the hyperdrive. The whole system is confirmed functional before being used again.

They have horror stories about the results of malfunctions, most of which are either exaggerated or outright bullshit to scare the rookies. Actual problems with the field generators usually just cause the ship to "flop" back into a spot in normal space somewhere that corresponds with where it was in hyperspace. You can get a "Lost In Space" situation, but normally you'll just be somewhere between Point A and Point B. It should be noted that the fields tend to be larger than the space between the generators to cover for some of them failing in mid-usage. If the hyperdrive fails in hyperspace, the whole thing is shut down while the backup drive engages. The ship stays in hyperspace as long as the field generators are working.

In short, I take an engineer's view of things. The tech is treated as actual machinery, even though what it does is complete BS. Maintenance, breakdowns, repairs, spare parts, etc.

I hope this helps.

If she escapes to the next Anthrocon, you'll never find her again!

That was then, this is meow. ;)

They had to rename the marlboro monsters of IX after the cigarette manufacturer sued them. They're not terribly consistent about it. Even today they're officially called "malboro", but if you still have the original game, you know better.

Oops! I'll fix it.

Foxxtronix

That's why you mass-produce them, and don't send it out alone! This is just an illustration of engineering differences, not a serious tactical discussion.

Sometimes you just gotta play with Dad, even when he's feeling grumpy.

I think she likes her hot dogs with extra hot dog. ;)

Um....that's clearly a laser weapon. They don't exactly have much recoil, so don't need to be built like a tank.

I'd make a The Matrix reference about Neo dodging the bullets, but I'm not awake enough.

Have a gif, instead.

A yummy yeen!

When that time comes, I hope Nick is prepared for a marathon workout.

Foxxtronix

Thank you. You're clearly someone who knows how this works. I'm surprised it's still here!

Run like hell.

Notice the antlers? That's probably a wendigo, rather than a mal0. Hot as she is, I don't particularly feel like being dinner. Those fangs aren't just for show!

Secondly, animals who have antlers are usually males of the species in rut season. There are some exceptions, but I'm not taking the chance that she's pakin' a pen0r. If so, it's probably one that would put a stallion to shame. Asphyxiating on a pen0r, drowning in semen, guts rupturing from a massive anal penetration? These are not ways in which I want to die.

Run like hell.

I think the rationalization is that it's considered a serious computer security breach that needs to be immediately crushed, and they think that it's a good field test for the avatar. I don't know for sure, I'm just here to kiss the sneks.

It's just such an appropriate word for the way those three cultures get mixed in media that I have to use it. I'm glad that it gave you a LOL, pal. ^w^

But yeah, if it worked IRL it should be good for fiction.

Gyah! Don't look at that, Yay Foxxo! o.O It'll scar your mind!

Look at this cuteness, instead!

Funtime Foxy before she was torn apart by children and became The Mangle. Phone Guy explains that to Jeremy near the beginning of the game.

With that, take my ups. Hell of a job, pal.

Foxxtronix

Only if you're impotent.

Foxxtronix

Thank you! I do a little gentle trolling every now and then.

"foxgirls in gay little shorts" Yes, I understand. They're volunteering to be licktoys. ;)
