I've been playing lots of Subnautica. Starting to get base building down - just did the thing with the floating island and so plot is definitely happening, but I'm struggling to get much further without the cyclops or prawn suit though (have blueprints, still need materials).

My friends are astonished I can play given my extreme cetaphobia, but this game doesn't have any whales so it's only regular scary.

My designs are bad but I don't have a youtube channel.

Liberal friends condemning Stalin for a practical joke involving a tomato and Khrushchev. Aside from that actually being Very Funny because Khrushchev, is this a real incident or just something made up by one of their anti communist podcasts?

I'm working on a water cooling thing, and it seems there's a teeny tiny leak between two aluminum bits that are tightly screwed together. I will never have any reason to unscrew them. What's a good way to seal this up? Can I just run some super glue along the crack?

Posting porn, but it's real weird porn that doesn't have nudity.

Monster of the Week is pretty simple to play and run in my experience. My group sometimes uses it for one-shots when one of us is out of town because you can whip up characters and stories real quickly.

A little oddball and not really a typical ttrpg, but Fiasco is a lot of fun for practicing those RP chops. No GM, just collaborative storytelling with a structure to ensure that whatever it is your character is trying to set up goes disastrously, for themselves or someone else.

DnD 5e is also a great beginner system, if you have one really experienced player willing to DM and bear the weight of the (lack of) rules upon their mighty shoulders like Atlas. Very very easy as a player, but needs a good DM to make a lot of rulings on things the game rules don't actually cover.

Do you have an idea of what setting you want to play in, and is anyone willing to be GM and guide the story or would you prefer a setting where you all get to be players (those exist!)?

Are there any decent free MTG drafting programs? Drafting a good block is probably my favorite paper format since you don't need to build a collection, but also they can be balanced real nicely.

I want a bike but buying one is intimidating and I need a friend to hold my hand.

Just Helldivers right now. Played a ton of the first one back in the day (and Magicka before that) so it's exciting to see how successful this game as been.

If I were a Trisolaran I would simply figure out how to mathematically predict stable and chaotic eras. Skill issue tbh.

Solid propellants come in two main types. "Composites" are composed mostly of a mixture of granules of solid oxidizer, such as ammonium nitrate, ammonium dinitramide, ammonium perchlorate, or potassium nitrate in a polymer binding agent, with flakes or powders of energetic fuel compounds (examples: RDX, HMX, aluminium, beryllium). Plasticizers, stabilizers, and/or burn rate modifiers (iron oxide, copper oxide) can also be added.

Single-, double-, or triple-bases (depending on the number of primary ingredients) are homogeneous mixtures of one to three primary ingredients. These primary ingredients must include fuel and oxidizer and often also include binders and plasticizers. All components are macroscopically indistinguishable and often blended as liquids and cured in a single batch. Ingredients can often have multiple roles. For example, RDX is both a fuel and oxidizer while nitrocellulose is a fuel, oxidizer, and structural polymer.

So like those little model rockets, but much bigger and more efficient.
