How Klingon Became a Real Language (vice.com)

In that related to literature, the current stream of fuss around Baen, the Baen Bar forum, and WorldCons disinvitation of Toni Weisskpf.. An interesting post by Eric Flint - take note for those who accuse Baen of only being right wing militants and fascist scifi writers, he's a fairly reputable liberal and pretty much left of center.

Finally launched the Neptune Escape planet and got off-planet in Subnautica. Then get hit with the 1Trillion debt you owe for using resources on the planet to escape. Apparently I managed to get all achievements for the game while doing that playthrough - What strikes me is that while I'm not so surprised that only about 10% of players have the final achievements for completing the game, apparently only 79% of players have the "Getting Your Feet Wet" achievement. Does that mean 20% of players literally never played beyond the opening and got out of the damn escape capsule? Or just that many turned on the console to cheat from the start? Or just bought the game and never played it? That's going to be one of those bizarre nagging questions in the back of my head some sleepless nights....
