  Our core is also just huge, the outer core is larger than the moon and mercury.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lmao⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess that could work? Earth is actually the densest planet in the solar system so our baseline mass > size ratio might actually be a bit abnormal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lmao⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Iirc near that +50% level you end up needing a saturn 5 to launch sputnik, so its more expensive to the degree that it might just be deamed unfeasable, at least at the technology level humans started launching rockets at.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lmao⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is you can’t have mountains like that on tectonically active planets (a mountain that big on earth would sink into the mantle), which is kind of a prequisite for a long-term magnetosphere so its unfortunately not something a species could likely ever have except as a result of terraforming a world like mars and setting up some kind of artificial magnetosphere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When if ever did "Throw Money at The Problem:" actually work? Instead of being about 75 percent useless?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Major infastructure projects (in certain countries) tend to turn into infinitely deep money pits due to rampant mismangment and corruption that can swallow the entire budgets of smaller nations and still not get done. They tend to drag down the average.

  The vibe of the first one was so good, I think 2/3 had more fun characters in terms of just having interesting/fun kits but the first game will always be my favourite for the overall tone.

  I believe there is a generator with functional prototypes in the US and China that uses supercritical CO2? I mean its basically a steam engine but using a different medium and potentially even more efficient.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even then all of them but solar are just spinning a wheel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I find the actual problems they face to be more organic than other series, there’s always at least a semi-good reason why the threat of the week is occuring rather than something stupid like flying through enemy territory with no shields or someone rando just beaming out your ships main computer being a huge weakness that no one ever thought might be a problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite ship or class of ship?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unnamed shuttle sized craft #3, just two of which are consistently capable of disabling any feddration vessel no matter how well prepared.

  Remember Disney can legally murder you if you watched Disney+ one time.

  Except I can percieve a curve to the horizon, then walk to the point that was previously horizon and percieve that curve continues, thus drawing the conclusion that the curve must continue all the way round.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elder Scrolls 6 Is Powered By New Version Of Creation Engine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  From the reviews I saw it didn’t help that starfield looked and played like a skyrim sci-fi mod that leaned into the Bethesda loading screen meme on purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it keeps getting momentum⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  "We are 20 years away from Fusion if we get X amount of money"

  • Scientists right before recieving less than 1% of X amount of money.

  Just like when I was a kid and didn’t have enough memory card space!

  On the nostalgia front I just want to say I’ve never been into metroidvanias and never played any kind of metroid game before, I tried metroid zero mission an hour ago and I’m already hooked. These games are just genuinely good. Not dunking on newer games I play those a lot too, just saying not everything new is better and I’d love to see some kind of happy middle ground.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Abolishing trial by jury: why is the government overlooking the obvious?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was under the impression that jury trials have a higher false conviction rate so this is actually a win? Then again its the UK so I’m sure some way will be found to fuck it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Any literate person can do that? Despite the public education systems best efforts to train us all in such a manner as to overly to pad everything out with an excessive quantity of superfluous filler words, many of which add nothing to the information communicated and may even continue long after the point is made.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Only if you’re not familiar with the act of producing what the AI is trying to emulate the production of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is immersion to you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Off the top of my head:

  • Rainworld
  • Thrive (the npc cells undergo independant evolution and competition)
    To a much lesser degree cyberpunk (and I would suspect fallout 4) with the correct mod sets can have the NPC factions carry out battles and limited warfare without any player intervention.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is immersion to you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think a big one to me is when the world doesn’t revovle around me, when things happen without player input because the player isn’t the centre of the universe. Every NPC just wating in stasis or walking on a preset loop forever until I hit the next event trigger really kills immersion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you people all bots?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Its a dark time when we can’t do the ‘everyone on platform is a bot except you’ joke because that’s exactly what an actual bot would mindlessly regurgitate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t wait to see videos of people running Haz 5+ in the new biome with giant beartrap bugs all over the place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pet Peeves with Games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Been playing Monster hunter World recently and holy crap is that game obnoxious with the cut scenes, even mid-fight if a monster you’ve never seen before happens to wander past.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some of us are just sitting here nodding along to 90% of the memes and struggling continuously with basic daily function but also past puberty and thus completely unable to even get checked for any kind of diagnosis due to a crumbling and outdated healthcare system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it going to take to truly stop the US?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The EU, China and other major trading partners (many of which are EU afilliates like Japan) could cripple the US overnight by dumping american bonds and finding new trading partners. This is already happening though in a very slow way designed to minimize damage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  what? no they haven’t. Rent is usually more expensive than mortgage payments we just set up the finanical system to disallow most renters from taking out a mortgage because its more profitable to trap people in an endless cycle of payment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I made the diamonds follow the player and made other translation changes to my action roguelite⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no idea what’s going on but its always great to see a solo project making progress!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, I modern MMOs feel like they’re designed around a fast track to max level which leaves the game seeming more like a MOBA with a grind gate. We’ve completely lost the journey in favour of rushing to the destination.

  Now at the same time runescape was grindy as fuck in a very unfun way but with all our modern advances surely we can make a progression that is long while having moment to moment gameplay thats fun in its own right?

  I have one of the super chunky OG PS3s thats compatable with PS1/2 games as well as DVD and bluray. I don’t play it anymore but I’m never getting rid of it.
