Peaceful. Heh. It definitely used to be peaceful, kiddo...
But those days are so long gone, and the moon so scarred, that those days might as well be out of a fantasy novel.

What happened, you ask? Heh... That's a silly question. Human nature happened.

You see, transit to Europa was never commercialized. Not back then, and now likely never will be. And yet, humans still charged forward, to that pristine icy moon. Charging so far off the beaten paths. Away from comforts, away from contact, away from society itself... Ask yourself now, what sort of man would willingly throw themselves such absolute solitude?

Prideful, arrogant, and sometimes even criminal, for a moment, Europa was a haven to it all. An age of constant advancement, stoked by the fires of so many supreme wills.

It was never destined to last.

Amidst that multitude, a hunger as old civilization grew. The hunger of dominion, festering in a place packed to the brim with wolves, but not a single sheep. Is it any wonder, then, that all it took was a single spark of prideful dissent? Just one, and it all gave way.

To want.
To discord.
To violence.
To insanity.
To ruin.

No one can stop you if you really want to go, kiddo. Actually no, that's not entirely true. You'll probably get interdicted and arrested on the way back. So I'll just tell you right now, there is nothing left.
Only ash, ice, and the remains of the fools of that age. Magnificent fools, but fools nonetheless.

Any chance this one will be easily defaced like the doge.gov site was?

Any chance this site also uses an editable SQL database or whatever exploitable nonsense the doge website had?

Oh sweet! Thanks for marking out some fresh new GBU-12 and GBU-38 targets, Russia.

Hmm... Now I'm wondering if buddy lasing with drones is feasible.

Imma hop on resonite and get wasted with friends.

"We'd love to comply, but the funding cuts from your administration have regrettably forced us to shut down the security systems needed to perform such identification. Turns out weatherproof cameras and 100 TB+ storage arrays for footage aren't cheap."

Only for more genetically stable diseases that don't mutate into new strains every single year.

Where in the world did you hear that? Every source on this cites Elon and his extremist Nazi beliefs as a core reason.

Oh, I already have Linux on my laptop. It's my desktop that still has some blockers preventing a full Linux transition.
Primarily the Pimax headset. Once I get a suitable replacement, I'll actually be able to start testing and transferring stuff.

Or better yet, windows 10 LTSC. Which will be supported for another 2 years. 4 if you subsequently switch the product key to the IOT LTSC version.

Pimax. Fantastic FOV, but wide and clunky, and the rest is just meh.

Fortunately, steam can have a lower priority on switching due to it being privately owned. No stocks, no shareholders, and no 'number must infinitely go up' bullshit.
Still, got my fingers crossed that gog can use this to grow and become the first equal competitor to steam. No, epic doesn't count, they have publicly traded stock.
