Its been what, 8 years since the original switch was released?

- Comment on Firaxis reveal Sid Meier's Civilization VII system requirements for Linux 3 weeks ago:
Popular distro or one based on it. Pop-os is Ubuntu based and has always worked well for gaming. Its maintainted bt system76, a solid hardware vendor.
The fact they pulled all the snap bloat out also is a win win.
- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 3 weeks ago:
Look for the “vanilla expanded” mods.
It is a dedicated and organized team of modders that has output a stunning amount of content, all of it cohesive, and what many would consider required “base game” content.
They have literally put out dozens of mlds that coupd be standalone DLC, all for free.
- Comment on What did everyone grab during the Steam Winter Sale? 3 weeks ago:
The talos principle 1 & 2. Playing through 1 now, and it’s excellent. Some of the puzzles are complex, but most can be solved in 5-10 minutes and gove a nice “ah-ha!” moment.It reminds me of portal 2, but with a heavier and more ambiguous story about the nature of life and consciousness. Highly recommended.
Also been playing some dome keeper and Peglin. Both also excellent in their own ways.

Nah, hes the number 1 homeless ticketer in the city. He clearly enjoys it.
He also knew it was the wrong thing to do so he narrated an excuse to his body cam when he drove off.

2d isometric vs 3d first person. One format clearly lets stories breathe better, but that doesn’t mean half life isn’t story driven.

Rogue tower is another great game with rogue in its name.
Fantastic tower defense.
- Comment on Funko, BrandShield speak out about itch.io takedown 5 weeks ago:
They didnt issue a DMCA takedown request, which has a legslly prescribed back and forth
They ijstead told the registar itch.io was committing phishing/fraud crimes. The registar clearly knee jerked on being told the domain was illegal, but it was Funko and their vendor Brandshield that lied about that in the first place.

And yet Blackwater has renamed itself again and again.
Apparently there is a “whoops, too much” level of villainy, even for villain factories.

Its something of a mystery game. You wake up in an unfamiliar place and have a nebulous goal.
Letting the clues of the story build is a big part of the experience.
- Comment on TURKEY POWER 1 month ago:
The fun part of this is this is true of any 1GW power source. We have been deploying solar+battery arrays in that range recently for much less money and much faster than nuclear.
Thanks nuclear power for pointing out useful large scale solar+battery is too!

Most hot sauce is mainly vinegar. It doesnt really have a shelf life, but if so, it’s years and years.
Im betting that no, whoever has got the staircase full isn’t going to use them all, but they will use some. At that stage, it’s a collector enjoying collecting a foodstuff.

Hes not kidding. The cgi on the child is horrifying for a “blockbuster” movie.

- Comment on Humble creating a bundle for this game is wild 1 month ago:
You can still customize it, but it has hard minimum at what I think is $7. The old humble had no minimum at all.
IGN leaning in to make its money back, most likely.
- Comment on Humble creating a bundle for this game is wild 1 month ago:
They sold to IGN a few years ago.
It was also when they introduced a $7 minimum humble tip for the bundles

- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
There is no law of diminishing returns. That’s an aphorism, not an actual scientific principle. If your power source can generate the power, it does so.
You don’t need to store an entire county’s power per day. Thats never been anyone’s goal, nor is it needed. You generate power for at least half of it, then continue to generate power with other green sources while also storing it.
You need to “restudy” the current state of battery tech and geothermal. There are huge arrays of different batteries being built now, and active 100+MW geothermal plants in operation, with more coming. The tech is here now, being built as we speak.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
So you agree that solar + battery resolves 90-99% of power needs now at a drastically reduced cost and build time than nuclear today?
I expect that 10% will get much closer to 1% in the next decade with all the versatile battery/solar tech coming onboard, but to compensate for solar fluctuations, you use wind, you use hydro, and you use the new “dig anywhere” steady state geothermal that is also being brought online today. We can run more HVDC lines to connect various parts of the country. We are working on some now, but not enough. With a robust transmission system, solar gets 3hrs of “free” storage across our time zones.
Worst case? You burn green hydrogen you made with your excess solar capacity in retrofitted natgas plants.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
You can quibble about battery engineering or focus on your original question, which is : can solar + battery tech do what nuclear does today, but faster and cheaper?
That is a clear yes.
If you want more exact details about the batteries that array used, click on the link in my comment
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
My math assumes the sun shines for 12 hours/day, so you don’t need 24 hours storage since you produce power for 12 of it.
My math is drastically off though. Assuming that 12 hours of sun, you just need 2Gw production and 12gw of battery to supply 1gw during the day of solar, and 1gw during the night of solar, to match a 1gw nuclear plants output and “storage.”
Seeing as those recent projects put that nuclear output at 17bil dollars and a 14 year build time like, and they put the solar equivalent at roughly 14billion( 2 billion for solar and 12 billion for storage) with a 2 - 6 year build timeline, nuckear cannot complete with current solar/battery tech, much less advancing solar/battery tech.
