    I don't know the physics about it but my favorite version of asteroid mining -> earth is yeeting platinum whiffle balls into the Saraha desert.

    I don't know why you would think this. If the moon wasn't just a shithole in a smaller gravity well than earth we would be ignoring the political/legal questions you raise and addressing the economical/technological ones that far surpass them.

    tbh if I was James Webb I'd rather be remembered for my work on Mercury/Gemini than a space telescope that's so delayed it's turning into an embarrassment.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Imagine if instead of a solar array on their roofs they made a thermal solar plant using articulated mirrors spread all across vegas aimed at a central building in the strip

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    Personally hard to get excited for this without the ability to dock and use the controllers independently.

    Modern software sucks, and computing is garbage while hardware is blazing new frontiers.

    I only fuck around with Photoshop if my graphic designer is there to hold my hand. Otherwise im a gimp man.

    Cool, any recommendations? Hoping to get one in the <$300 price range, but as low as possible to do what I want to feed what seems like low power speakers. I don't mind paying, just don't want to ignorantly pay for something built for a 2k watt system and use it for a 400watt system. Or...

    Sometimes I think about installing XP on an old (or new) machine, installed Microsoft Word 2003, Visual Studio 2003 and see if it is as good and responsive as I remember.

    All right boys, help me out here. I bought a house and the owner left his old audio stuff. He's got AV Receiver: Sony STR-DE657 Sony STR-DE675 Center Speaker: BOSE VCS-10 Front speakers: BOSE 301 Series IV Satellite Speakers: Infinity Universal Satellite 10-100...

    As for the OP: It's funny how regressive so many websites are. Recipe websites are some of the worst offenders. You're at the store trying to remember what herbs you need to buy for your pot roast so you try and find some recipes and are swarmed with the most ad-infested, dysfunctional garbage...

    I started reading Clean Code about 5ish years ago. As you probably know but others might, a common approach in his book is to take an example of bad production code and clean it up. It's a great approach and he picked some good examples of trash code that's out there. I strongly disagreed with...

    The EmDrive is the only way we're going to get to Alpha Centauri. Just a matter of time before it's put into production by Dr. Shawyer. I built a prototype and use it to power my car.

    Can get hard to differentiate between that. Biggest achievement for spacex will either be their two stage starship landing both stages and then orbital refueling. Both are huge tech and infrastructure gains. The infrastructure they're building for the starship production is incredible.

    The game is programmed to detect when your aim is shit and increases your melee damage based on how bad it is.

    People being mad at the SC skins they paid $50 for not being as nice looking as the marketing is like, being upset that the bull that just cucked you not taking his shoes before jumping in your bed like you asked him to multiple times now.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Coop in DS games adds flavor, but players who just pull in another player everytime they fight a boss they have trouble beating are robbing themselves of the robust Dark Souls experience. Sure, sometimes you bring in some scrub who just feeds the boss leaving you to your demise, but frequently...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    One of the best part about beating a dark souls game is reading the lore written that's teased out from hints in the game. Once it's all pieced together it reads like a mad max fever dream. It kind of reminds of the dark tower series. I don't really know how you build off of the dark souls...

    Windows 11

    Every windows version makes the gui objectively worse. The worst part is how they'll redesign a gui like mouse or sound controls, but strip out 90% of the functionality, forcing users to get through their shit UI to do anything useful. I know they're not serious about cleaning up this shit...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Never played FO76 and didn't follow it, but isn't like, a budget version of a Bethesda Game Studios game that got brought into the Bethesda fold halfway through development?

    I hope they have space exploration/combat + vehicle exploration/combat. Really I just want Freelancer 2: Bethesda Edition.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Yeah if they switched engines that'd be the biggest question. TES5 was so successful on Xbox that they could conceivably ditch modding and still make a commercially successful TES6, but it definitely wouldn't be elder scrolls. Some of the almost incidental modability in some C# games like...

    Dyson Sphere Program. Was really impressed how stable it was, especially for being made by a handful of people in China, allegedly. Both are great engines. Personally, if I hear a game dev with an interesting concept is choosing one of them I'll feel relieved and know the game will at least...

    Starfield would've been a great time to jump onto Unreal and work on that integration leading into TES6.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I'm curious how they're going to translate their theme park open world RPG style into a near-future space sim. Something like Bethesda does Freelancer is pretty exciting and is what a ton of people really want, but I doubt they're getting there with this near-future tech unless this is going to...

    Bobafett's popularity was pretty organic given his limited tole but makes sense. He's the badass bounty hunter with a Corinthian helmet and a bunch of gadgets in a space western.
