    That is a very large ship. It's also been used to haul around destroyers and oil rigs:

    Remember - you can put a boat on a ship, but not a ship on a boat.

    IIRC they fill the ballast on the ship so that the deck sinks below the waterline, then they can push off the oil rig (which floats) with like a tug or something.

    ahhhh but can i drive the boat/be a cook, just peeling potatoes and sharing absolutely smoldering sexual tension with the other dude in the galley, Jean-Paul, and staring out at the lonely ocean for hours and watching stars sink beneath the gentle curve of the end of the world?

    THAT'S the sailing game for me! if you add sails and scurvy i'd never play anything else.

    A Serpent guard, a Horus guard, and a Setesh guard meet on a neutral planet. It is a tense moment. The Serpent guard's eyes glow. The Horus guard's beak glistens. The Setesh guard's...nose drips.

    I remember being in a bookstore once and seeing a Minecraft jokebook.

    You know. For the kids.

    I flipped through it out of morbid curiosity and it was absolutely dire, though there's only one joke I can remember:

    Why did the creeper explode?
    Because it fell off a cliff

    It doesn't even make sense within the context of the game!

    This is when I learned that there is, apparently, a market for shitty joke books, and all it takes is no shame.

    Whenever I encounter a shitty joke book on one of the return carts I pick it up, open it to a random page, read the first joke I see, and then erupt in boisterous laughter.

    I expect my staff to report me to HR any day now.

    It took two weeks, but this post finally ticked me over to 10k awesomes and another badge. Truly there's only one thing to say about this historic moment:
    It's over nine thousand.
