> mysterious aliens that pluck you out of hyperspace
This mechanic was so interesting - it would happen to me, I'd manage to survive the assualt, and then be so far away from anywhere to refuel, and without enough fuel to jump again, that I'd be dead-in-the-water every time. It was so weird to win the battle and then.. not. But I couldn't help but always get excited when it would happen! Did anyone ever survive this?
Yes, because I figured out how to reliably force a Thargoid incursion every time I did a hyperspace jump. From memory (BBC micro model B disc version):
- Pause the game and press the ‘x’ key. You’ll hear a beep. I don’t know what this does.
- Engage hyperspace. As soon as you see the concentric hexagon animation, press and hold the ‘Ctrl’ key.
You should see the animation a second time as you drop out of hyperspace surrounded by Thargoid ships.
As a Vercel Infrastructure Engineer, you will help to scale and improve our infrastructure, availability, and reliability by working closely with our backend engineers and product team to identify problems, create tooling and automation. If you have a solid background in software engineering and are familiar with Cloud Services (e.g. AWS, Google Cloud, or others), Node.js, Terraform, or Kubernetes we'd like to meet you.
I would edit to say more about what Vercel does. The blurb on https://vercel.com/docs is a good explainer IMO. I say this as I have a hazy recollection “yeah vercel does something good like next js” and probably there are more like me!
Why not move and call it quits? That might actually enable you to forgive them (from afar). Calling it quits was the first step in my forgiveness towards my parents. You could send them occasional updates but you shouldn't feel like you're obligated to otherwise engage (at least for a period of like 6 months - and then reevaluate).
When someone recommended it to me last summer, I was hesitant to be yet another content creator for yet another platform. Then I saw it was run by science foundations! Signed up immediately. It’s been fun in Colorado to learn plants that I see on hikes.
This is cool! Me and a friend have been working on https://chartcomposer.com/ which is specifically hooked up to Dropbox and uses the VSCode monaco-editor as a front end for the ChordPro syntax. Seems like there's interest in this space which is exciting.
