    The Astronomy Thread

    Will definitely be interesting to read about how SpaceX will prep for a moon landing of Starship in a few years. I wonder if they'll have a space satellite with some sensing capability identify A+ spots, and then land shit in those spots to pick out an A+++ one. Beyond evenness of terrain, soil...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    My take was a bit different, that person's game seemed extremely different from mine, from plot to combat to character builds.

    I have many fond memories of playing State of Decay #1, driving around my shitty car and hitting zombies with the door or running them over.

    Interplanetary pollution. Definitely pollution. The red parts have pollution in them. I've turned my planet (Shennong) that provides Vulcanite into a forge world. Factorio, Space Exploration mod.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Anyone use any of the coop mods (ex: Seamless Co-op ) recently?

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I'm not in love with it, but it's a refreshing change of pace from the very overt storytelling in most games where the player is constantly reminded in the plainest terms what the lore is and how the quest they're on is involved with it.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Elden Ring makes sense as a story about a cosmic power struggle in the same way this painting portrays temporal decay. Or something.

    Brother, she killed herself in order to spiritually inhabit a doll. She's a degenerate.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    No, you're definitely in the majority. I bet fewer than 1% of people who beat Elden Ring could cogently explain the story, and I'm definitely in that 99%. It's like everything else in From soft's souls games, if you want lore you have to either earn it or watch youtube videos to figure it out...

    Rendering judgement upon an Elden Ring DLC's story after watching a trailer is pretty foolish.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    First, who specifically is complaining about the game being too easy? Second, because this community (and many others) enjoy breaking games, and some of us enjoy when a game all but requires it to be broken to be beaten.

    I wonder how they'll balance ng++++++ sweatlords steamrolling the content with their maxed out characters vs new rolls needing to grind to do DLC without sacrificing how important stats are.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Trailer is A+++. I went from not thinking about elden ring in a year to wanting to day 1 this game. I'm thinking about rolling a fresh character for the DLC. Not sure if I want to roll one on DLC release, roll before, or wait until it's been out for a bit to play. Whatever I do I'll probably...

    Help, people good at math!

    That's one of the fun things about math. More so than a lot of fields, people understand mathematic ideas with wildly different approaches. And in some cases a preferred approach for someone is much more complex. And some people understand concepts at a deeper, more connected level where...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I've always thought of parry as being something of a uhm, showboating move. In most cases to parry effectively you have to really know the moveset of the mob you're facing so you can effectively parry during the window and at the right times. This becomes an investment that pays off in that you...

    Skull and Bones - Feb 16th 2024 Release Date

    Black Flag really is one of the all-time great games. I've never played Sea of Thieves or other pirate-type games (but have played a LOT of Archeage!) but I'm a little disappointed that naval combat isn't a more popular gameplay element in games.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I'd be tempted to truly save-scum (by backing up the old savegame files in your file system and restoring them). Would be interesting if instead of reverting from honor to custom mode on death, they instead had a running tally of times you reloaded or died. Really strict hardcore rules work...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Anyone here beat honor mode or get that far with it? I'll be tempted to give it a go if I replay BG3, though I doubt I'll invest the required effort to either use broken builds (if they exist...) or optimum paths. Especially since there will probably be new content I haven't seen and won't want...

    Help, people good at math!

    I'm not a mathematician, but yes. If you've got a circle with a diameter of 10 inches, the circumference is 10 * π, which is an irrational number. If you've got a circle with a circumference of 42 inches, the diameter is 42 / π. You can either "maintain" its irrationality by keeping the pi...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    Rotating ZEMs, Hotzones etc is something that would also address a huge issue in live EQ, which is a widely distributed playerbase. Here's something I posted a while ago about live EQ and hotzones: Step 1: Add Mischief style randomized loot to hot zone names as bonus drops. Step 2: Create a...

    I enjoy drowning in confusion, so I enjoy it. I played Space Exploration + Krastorio 2 after doing a ~40 hour playthrough of vanilla and I am enjoying how I have to redo everything multiple times either because of my own foolishness or because of new tech is unlocked. If you really want to play...

    Eh, not really. That's like, the 10th biggest question here at best. Biggest question is probably, "Can I make $$$ by selling this?". And the answer is yes. #8 biggest question might be, "Does this decrease the barrier to entry for creating this kind of content?" and the answer is most...

    I don't dispute that it's hard to predict where AI videos or writing will go, but a video on how AI-created videos have evolved with Sora isn't a very compelling argument against how LLMs will have diminishing returns on producing high quality writing. What old nerds like us have seen...

    re: an xman animated series reboot, like many of you I grew up on this shit. This show, along with the Batman, Superman cartoons in the same era were my favorites growing up.

    Caught up with Primal Hunter. Started listening to Azarinth Healer, which I'm enjoying quite a bit. The genre is dominated by males with male voice actors and it's refreshing to have a voice actress instead, who happens to be extremely good besides. I really wish more audio books would embrace...
