I’m working on a indie video game that’s set on a large ship and I’m looking to have it be a very hidden and elusive boat. (Speaking vaguely to avoid spoilers)...
The Pacific Ocean is massive and if a ship turns off its transponder it is invisible unless you have satellites in your game. Ships can easily disappear in the Pacific even with modern search and rescues when people really really want to find a ship[ in trouble, they sometimes can’t. I have a friend that sails those waters and there are endless small islands, often uninhabited where he stays in small bays and inlets.
Nothing strange about the islands apart from him raving about the stunning beaches, waterfalls, and colorful wildlife. He once found a bale of weed, he kept it and never returned to that particular island. The strange stories he has all occurred out on the ocean. Swimming in bioluminescent water. A massive shape nearly 100m long surfaced his bow in the middle of the night and paced him for hours. It turned out to be a sub.
He has many stories about the ocean, he is convinced he saw UFOs, not necessarily aliens but definitely unidentified and very unusual crafts and he saw them go into the water. I believe him, he is not the type to be into conspiracies or make things up. He embellishes his stories a little but that is just him being a good storyteller. He was in the military and navy for 40 years so he knows the ocean well. The Pacific Ocean is an enormous space, there are military outposts but due to its size, they are few and far between. The Arctic is much much more surveilled due to all the big countries wanting a piece of it and with climate change opening the Bering Strait, this becomes very valuable. Good luck with your game, may it fare well and be profitable to you.
For me I would say “The Expanse” is a huge one. If there was ever a self made family, the crew of the Rocinante is one of the best. The amount of time they spend together and how they congeal into life long partners and friends in the face of some truly awful events is really inspiring to me.
Are you saying there might be already a way to do this on desk top? I don’t want to o back to Reddit ,but I was there for 15 years and would be lying if I said I didn’t miss it.
That was an interesting video.I have known people who lived in vans, and the only ones that lasted long term are those that had a good support system. Some had friends/family where they could park up for a while now and then. All that lasted several years, tend to meet up with other van living friends and exchange good places to park and to avoid. And one thing they all had in common is that they were really tidy and organized.
I have a pure bred Main Coon, and she came from a shelter. She has never been sick or had any health problems, she is 14 now. I agree with the folk here, adopt from a shelter or if you really like a particular breed, then there are specialised breed rescues. They rehome pure breeds ,but like many others already said they tend to have health problems though it differs from breed to breed just like in dogs. You really need to make your question more detailed. What are your living arrangements? Will it be an indoor cat or will it be able to go outside? Do you live in a city or are you rural? Do you want a very affectionate cat that is vocal, or prefer a more self-sufficient one? How many hours are you at home? Do you want a longhair or short hair? Do you have time to groom a long hair cat? Have you considered the cost of food, flea drops, wormer, vaccinations and holiday cover? Cats are wonderful and easy to live with.90% of the time you need to do nothing but the other 10% are important and if done well will make living with a cat a doddle.
Hello I just created this Account for this Question. Is it okay to support Israel in the middle east conflict? I’m from Europe and have no ties at all to any Side. Its just that I lean more to the Side of Israel then any other. Is this okay? Is it up to debate which Side is to support or is one of them clearly in the Wrong?...
I imagine Ukraine’s resistance would become objectively horrible if the Russians were still there after decades, claiming more and more land, bulldozing homes and creating an Apartheid. I once watched a documentary about Palestine (one of many) and the documentary maker was talking to a Palestinian woman while children were playing in the background. The children were playing a game of being suicide bombers. The reporter asked the woman about the children’s game. She said that t the children had no hope for the future, their only hope for a better life was after death.
That really stuck with me. The Palestinian people have been treated like animals for generations by Israel, lied to, robbed, kept in poverty and forced to live in apartheid. I am not surprised they are fighting back. Yes, HAMAS are definitely bad guys too, but Israel is worse and till they are held to account over their behaviour and made to return Palestinian land and homes that have been illegally annexed ,things will not get better.
