  The most efficient base is e, cosmologists describe the big bang as a rapid expansion of spacetime that doesn’t say anything about it being the beginning of time it’s just the furthest back that can be currently measured, and the egg came before the chicken.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exploration and discovery for humanitarian goals, different abundance of resources and lack of other resources usually gives opportunities for mining, production/refining/fabrication, and trade. And further, more metal resource rich regions like the asteroid belt will require developing the same tech needed to establish outposts, bases, and fueling stations far from earth.

  Yeah that game was great a lot of people slept on, there’s another adventure game coming out soon “slime in the ice machine” that looks like it might be good too and I think Josh Sawyer is working on a fallout game hopefully they get the time to make it what they want.

  It is a very old strategy for monopolies to buy up competition so they can kill the competition, it’s how Microsoft was founded.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What makes a tower-defense loss useful rather than frustrating?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there’s 2 good failure states, one is you learn something from why you failed so you want to try again to update your strategy and see if it works. The other is you carry over advancements or abilities from previous attempts so even if you try to brute force it it eventually works. Or I think most games have some mix of the two. For the first style having a recap at the end that shows a summary of how you did and also what you did so you can see if it improves with different actions, like a damage parser you can only see at the end when you lose or win, or just a count of abilities used or structures built or whatever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do analog triggers matter all that much? (In general and aside from racing games)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I prefer controllers that let you lock the triggers for very short pulls so they act like buttons, buttons would be fine too for most games
