In other news, I tested positive for COVID late last night on an at-home test. Joy.
If you felt sick, what were your symptoms.
I hope this passes quickly and leaves no lasting effects.
Please keep us posted, drink lot’s of fluids and take care of yourself.

Or perhaps it is a translation problem where there are vowels in the native language but they don't translate to vowels in the other language? I am so glad that is not my job.
If you're asking about the SC name - the name is a bashing together of two Czech words, "Zmrzl" ("froze") and "skrz" ("through" or "between"). Source: Grew up with family speaking Czech and English.![]()
Do you still actively speak both languages?

Thank you for asking!
As to the BN name - it's just how I sign off. There are worse things in the world I can think of to be upset about.

Here's a Czech tongue twister for you.

I am not upset nor worried about your name but I am deeply disturbed by the lack of vowels and the length of it. Whereas a fine wonderful American made name has two vowels and is shorter. /s /haha /poes law 😜

As for the FPS element in a space sim, I think a big part of it is the immersion-factor that goes with it. Here's a good and wacky video that sort of showcases it pretty well: https://youtu.be/xWO9GY8wiKM?t=1847
Once I got past my own personal annoyance at the player voices, that segment did look good.
If that is legit play and not a scripted or semi-planned thing, then you got to be at least a little impressed.
There's some lovely SC machinima out there too btw. The game can sure look pretty.

That must be the same altar nin and I used to cavort around back in the day, with assembled wraiths, Leisure Suit Larry developers and other utterly evil spirits. Then we'd sacrifice a really large donkey to the ghost of Derek Smart. It had to be the Biggest Ass We Could Find!
I still miss nin. Good times.![]()

Sad that my time in Elite is pretty much done. I had to refund Odyssey because I was only getting 10-15fps at 1440p, medium detail (Threadripper + 1080ti). I'm kind of burnt out on the old content and was looking forward to the expansion now that it had a little more time to bake. With horrendous performance like this on my rig, Elite has officially entered Star Citizen territory.
I'm just hopping back in after the update. I'm running at 1920x1080 on an RX 480, and apart from a few areas (mainly very large planetary ports/stations), I have been having few issues. I could just be an outlier, though?
Star Citizen has a lot more content and detail and is not optimized in any way, so pushes the limits of my system by comparison, especially in the city of New Babbage on the planet microTech, or in any outside area where there are lots of particle physics (blizzards, etc).
If anyone wants to find me in either universe, feel free to look me up and send a friend invite.
