It’s too bad we don’t have details about the other company involved that they were targeting. Seems like the sort of thing that could rapidly escalated – blinding all of your competitors birds on purpose. If those birds are in Geosynch, you don’t even need to be in the country to do it – just same longitude, approximately.
He doesn’t. He is lower density after transformation. Basically inflated. Also, he doubles as a life raft.
This depends on what you’re optimizing for. If you are optimizing for total energy captured per square metre, then you’re right about the benches.
But suppose you have a sufficient flux even with some areas being covered so you aren’t bothered by the shadows. Wouldn’t it be aesthetically superior to have uniform tile types? Or would you prefer they micromanage the tile placement such that the tiles below the bench shadows are different?
Anyway, I think it is a good idea. Better than the silly solar roadways crap.
I’ll add, they’re rerunning the Omega Expedition from 27th Nov - 11th Dec – this expedition is a fantastic entry point for returning players – it’s basically the fast track if you’re starting a new save.
I’m a huge NMS fan (bordering on apologist). Given the hundreds of hours I have in it, I’m always surprised when it pulls me back in.
Like, “it’s the weekend, I’ll just log in and grab some quicksilver missions and… Oh hey, new patch – an expedition is starting… Why have I been sitting here for 7 hours…”
It’s also super chill when you want it to be. Presuming that you’re late game, the only truly rare resource left to harvest is quicksilver. So I log in, trigger some fleet expeditions, visit my colony and kill a few drones that are harassing it, harvest a few resources. Maybe I decide to try to be a completionist at one of the many many side elements of the game – like building a base for each minable resource, or collecting one of every ship part (ship hunting is fun!), or what is this egg synthesis thing (oops, there goes another weekend).
It reminds me of playing post-game pokemon sometimes. There’s no reason to still be there – you beat the game, right? But the pokedex needs filling and, oh, let’s breed this rare special move onto an unlikely critter just cause and…
If you’re able to make your own fun, rather than just following a plot, then NMS is an amazing sandbox.
Connect saves drafts transparently as you move around the app.
This is basically failing someone for being pregnant. That’s dumb.
Let’s make sure this is equitable. Fail any man that conceives a child during law school too.
And actually, let’s go full Japan and watch the birth rate plummet when people choose between career or family and end up choosing career for fear of repercussions.
Our cat does the same. She also likes when I play Stray on the PS4 ;)
Tangent: where do you folks buy cat grass seed? We’ve always got these stupid little kits where a package of 100 seeds is like $10 with the kit. But it seems silly to pay that much and the pet stores seem to be a racket.
Look at those smiling eyes!
Probably the money paid for whomever Alex Jones lost lawsuits against – so like Sandy Hook victims.
I love hitting these things in the real world. Not the big, but the comment. You just know someone spent a fortune in time and company resources to never solve the problem and their frustration level was ragequit. But then something stupid like adding
while (0){};
Suddenly made it work and they were like, fuckit.
Usually it’s a bug somewhere in a compiler trying to over optimize or something and putting the line in there caused the optimization not to happen or something. Black magic.
The downside is that the compiler bug probably gets fixed, and then decades later the comment and line are still there…
Generally speaking, I like duck typing for function inputs, but not as much for function outputs (unless the functions are pure mathematics).
