Your next adventure will take place in the SPECTACULAR FUTURE OF THE YEAR 2000!!

UC goes for that long? Man, you'd have thought people would have gone back to GP-02's concept.

What did you mean by this?

Granted, the Metroid timeline doesn't use the Gregorian calendar. All the dates are given along the lines of "year 20X5 of galactic history", who who knows at what point their calendar starts (my headcanon is that year 1 of galactic history is the founding of the Galactic Federation, but as far as I know there's no canon answer).

You know, it looks like she has a chastity belt on in that picture.

What system would be good for games set in retro futuristic settings?

GURPS Tales Of The Solar Patrol
Rocket Age
And if you want an even older retro futurism, Space 1889.

Spelljammer.

Maybe it works without burning or heating the gas.

Elon Musk is planning just this very thing in the near-ish future.

It's pretty outlandish how much progress he's projecting but he's done pretty well so far. I'm optimistic at least.

Out of all the pictures in this thread, this one's definitely the most far-fetched.

>needing an on-site human overseer to run a fleet of warehouse robots

Aieou?

...

He talks big, but all he's doing is noticing when the technology is there to allow what he wants, and givin a small final push with all his power and brains because nobody else seems to be bothering or figuring out the proper timing.

I think they meant "cause" cancer.

Does this count?

I don't understand but I don't have to.

Its a shame that game ended so shortly. Best moment was probably the time the police detective in the party realized the 'toy pistol' I brought was the genuine article.

I mean, they weren't technically wrong...

The basement dwellers of the future are so lucky! And his mom is hot, too!

Sexual reassignment surgery has been legal in Iran since 1987. Ayatollahs Khomeni, one of history's more famous monsters, issued a fatwa recognizing the basic human right of Muslims to live as the gender they choose, which makes it kind of ironic that he had more compassion and respect than you.

Bullshit! It had nothing to do with letting Muslims live as 'the gender they chose'. It was put forth as a cure to homosexuality, on the ridiculous logic that it isn't gay if we make the gay guy a woman.

That's right Anons, in Iran it is official, religious law, that traps aren't gay.

About half of all of Iranian Cabinet Ministers have 'wives' that are simply men who were given the choice of cutting off their dick or cutting off their head.

Elon Musk is very good at hyping things to death, but very bad with actual facts and science.

A plane has a one in 11 million crash chance. A rocket, even the best of the best we can build today, is closer to one in 100.

Putting aside the enormous cost and the numerous technical difficulties to make the venture profitable, a rocket is still orders or magnitude more dangerous than a plane, and Musk has a sketchy record of not actually exploding his rockets.

It's like the Hyperloop. He surfs on the hype and doesn't particularly care that it is scientifically impossible or so difficult it won't be done before a good century. People like him: he promises the future, but forgets that the future he is talking about is on the order of centuries. And people give him money and fame, and that's everything that count.

Pfft like everyone doesn't know this.

The man wants a Mars colony and needs side projects to make it happen. A pipe dream of Rockets replacing Airliners will help investors take an interest in SpaceX.

>People like him: he promises the future, but forgets that the future he is talking about is on the order of centuries
People like you said that human organs would be scrambled if they ever went over 25 miles an hour. A century ago people were still dubious about powered Flight at all. Let alone getting anywhere in the world within the hour.

Came to the thread to post this.

I don't trust him either, but I think Reaction Engines have a good chance of making it work. If nothing else I trust a company run by aerospace engineers over one run by a web entrepreneur.

Sometimes being visionary means being obstinate and vain and self-interested and pushing that future just a little bit closer through sheer willpower (and throwing vast amounts of money at it).

I don't like him as a person but without people like him we'd still all be farmers.
