These days running into other players is far more common on the Expeditions due to all the players having the same goal and quest pathing, but you still bump into real people the closer you are to the galactic center in the regular game modes.

In terms of the ‘boring samey planets’ when was the last time you played? Because with the current terrain generation, water effects, gas giant systems, fully submerged worlds and new fauna/flora generation I’ve yet to find any planets that were identical.

Highly recommend Voices of the Void

A semi horror/base management game where you’re a lone Doctor of Astrophysics on a radio signal listening station in the Swiss Alps, tasked with cleaning up the trashed base, maintaining servers, the site transformers running so you have power to lock your doors, and collecting extraterrestrial signals.

You may or may not be alone, if you can’t save the game, then it’s definitely more ‘may’ than ‘may not’.

Recently updated to v0.9 (unstable but functional) with a Christmas event active this month. Even as a game still in alpha it’s worth the pricetag, currently on itch.io under mrdrnose, believe there’s plans for it to end up on steam.

TearofGrace (TearofDisgrace on youtube) is a proper character of a guy, livestreams it at least once a week and recently put out a video of his exploits in v0.8

Children of men.

Plastics that have accumulated in our bodies are going to have massive impacts on our bodys regular functions. Covid ran rampant causing mental decline and increased weaknesses to milder diseases, leading to further degradation of our body’s regular function. Authoritarianism is deep set into our politics Climate change is forcing more and more people into refugee status. The rich and wealthy continue to violate our planet for their own gain, building themselves bunkers and personal armies to defend themselves from the consequences of their actions.

They don’t want to know why there are so many dual citizenship pedos taking shelter from prosecution over there

Every single electrical item on the planet stops working, because every generator, turbine, and motor immediately stops running.

Car batteries never charge, starter motors won’t turn, and any hall effect sensors cease to operate.

Kitchen floors would be covered with souvenirs and notes.

Society would collapse

To be fair, the last multiplayer game I was massively into was Warframe, but haven’t been on that in years at this point (if No Mans Sky doesn’t count lol)

I’ll probably end up loading Bazzite just because gaming and general browsing online is all I use my rig for these days (I may branch into freecad at some point for the fun of it but we’ll burn that bridge when we get to it)

Heard good things about Bazzite, how does it work out with .exe game files off the internet etc?

Ive got a boat load of games that aren’t on steam/are from GOG or itch and run as their own files instead of being run off a service

After spending the past ten years or so being exposed to videos of Ukrainian, West Papuan, Hong Kong and Palestinian civilians being brutalized by their neighbouring countries, it certainly felt like a foregone conclusion that I was going to come across the video at some point.

It was one of the reasons why I left Reddit back in the day, their userbase’s obsession with posting, upvoting and even celebrating uncensored snuff shit (especially during the 'rona times when half the posts were people celebrating the deaths of antivaxxers and random members of the American public that’d fallen for the antivax propaganda.)

Even with the ‘this contains sensitive content’ filter being put on almost every insta post, one account straight up played it uncensored in the middle of a few memes, so now it lives alongside countless other fucked up things I’ve seen over the years of being online.

It’s almost like these social media companies know what they’re doing, and they’re doing it intentionally. For what purpose, I can’t begin to speculate on without either sounding like some kind of schizotypal tinfoiler, or diluting the real societal problems by failing to address the millions of issues that have compounded until we got here.

Fuck this then. I guess I’m going for linux

Ive left excess pasta on the stove overnight, I’ve left pizza open on the counter and eaten it the day after (though if there’s only a couple slices they stay in the microwave on a cutout of the box ready to be nuked in the morning/next days lunch)

Still alive, still haven’t given myself food poisoning

So they’re using the same programs that the three letter agencies of the world have been using to crack phones since before touchscreens existed?

Please demonstrate this by aiming your gun at a cop and arguing that you weren’t brandishing with however many brand new holes.

They don’t want to show both because that would show readers exactly when a couple thousand new accounts all start talking about one polarising topic to get everyone agreeing.

Hey now, don’t go blaming the minimum wage workers for not being fully trained.

Zeal and Ardor.

An absolute top tier band that stand for human rights and who’s lyrics reflect their beliefs.

Created by a black metal artist from Sweden who made one of the best black metal albums of the past 5 years, who have since released banger after banger.

Also seconded/thirded on Run the Jewels. “Close your eyes and count to fuck” is on the forever playlist.

If we are I want a word with the dev team. This shit needs a rebalance ASAP. Gravity wells are too OP, black hole mergers should not warp the fabric of spacetime.

And don’t even get me started on Gamma Ray Bursts or Vacuum Decay.

HEALTH - everything from the band is banger after banger but with lyrics that’ll leave you feeling a certain type of sad

Ahh that makes a lot more sense

Cheers for the clarification

Oh nice one, that’s kinda cool

See I thought the curie temperature was a ‘one and done’ sort of deal where you have to go through the process of remagnetizing the magnet after it had gone beyond that point.

Not sure where they said they “did an entire presentation on this thing” or where they got their information from. I’m only adding some context to what I know of how thermostats work. I would gladly admit I’m wrong if provided with some evidence.

If you want a visual demonstration of a thermostat working here’s a video.

(For context I don’t mean to come across as one of those “well ackshually” asshats, I just like watching people take apart electronics (was also slightly obsessed with magnets as a kid. MANY hard drives were sacrificed to my curiosity lol).)
