@Grxit @Aristos_Revenge I wonder if this means the price of junk food will adjust back to something sane.
English
What a coincidence that this happens the SECOND they are no longer available on food stamps? 🤔

It's been revealed that PepsiCo lost over a billion dollars due to making Doritos $6-7 a bag, so expensive that people just stopped buying them. They're reducing the price of chips to try and make some money back.

I sometimes feel like a lot of indie games are just the inheritors of flash gaming, but somehow less good.

Trailer for 'Trees Hate You', the game where you hike through a forest full of horrible trees out to trick you, bully you and hurt you

Lives are useful for nudging your players to be careful. If there's consequences for a lack of mastery, players build mastery to dodge the consequences.
At least to a reasonable degree. Don't be evil with your checkpoints, and be fairly generous with extra lives.

What's your opinion about lives on video games?
English
If this were the case, every game would be either Souls or Life is Strange.

Video games are not a tool to relax, they are not a service for that They are artistic works which main purpose is to invoke emotion in you, in the case of problem solving games, frustration and euphoria If you want to relax kick your legs back and get a massage

@MichaelFKane True. Just as we got enough compute to make really nice 2D games at high resolution with as many colors and layers as we want, all the big developers stopped. Kind of a shame.
We did get Rayman Legends though. That was pretty good.
English
@StarfighterInt1 It's true, for sure.
Though I wish Nintendo (and others) wouldn't have abandoned high quality 2D entirely. Even now when when Nintendo does 2D it's always just 3D constrained to 1 plane.
English
Modded screenshots aside, Mario 64 is actually the worst 3D Mario by a large margin.
And it is still a very fun game, no mistake, but if you put aside your nostalgia goggles, the bad camera and Mario's lack of traction knock it way down the list, and that's before even discussing how the graphics have aged.
3D was functionally a new medium and Nintendo needed a couple console generations to re-perfect their art.

Early 3D aged worse in 5 years than 2D has in decades.

@cryptocurious61 @benjamincowen Why is it always a boomer with a potato cam ranting about how he doesn't understand astronomy.
English
The anti-science guys will tell you they are anti-science as they tweet from their iPhone in a jet flying over the Atlantic Ocean, using internet provided to them from satellites orbiting the Earth.
English
@NoQuarterSoft You can actually get some conversion from people who might have been on the fence about getting your game before.
English
Question for indie devs/publishers. What is the point of a launch discount? Users are already pinged about the games launch without it. Besides being cool does it offer any incentive algorithmically?
English
@Kanga7577 @ChrisMartzWX Same problem. Planes are just faster.
English
Your inability to understand science is not evidence against it.
English
@BigBlueNation85 @benjamincowen Oh it's a specialty service. Costs a ton of money, and it really isn't useful unless you're in the deep wilderness or out at sea.
English
@StarfighterInt1 @benjamincowen Idk any carriers here that do but would be nice as when my WiFi goes out I lose everything

Following the completion of the Artemis II mission, Kerbal Space Program has surpassed its all-time peak player count from launch
The game reached nearly 20k active players on Steam

Victor Glover, pictured left is the farthest thing possible from a diversity hire.
In fact, he's basically an IRL Tom Clancy protagonist.

DEI didn’t just prove MAGA wrong—it did it on a mission around the moon.

@samofolabi Grew up with it. My dad worked in aerospace. My grandpa was a mathematician.

@cryptocurious61 @benjamincowen I once flew from Los Angeles to Honolulu.
At the midpoint of the journey, my plane was 1200 miles from any land, give or take.
English
@benjamincowen Cell towers. Study flight patterns. No passenger planes are ever far away from land.
English
@Cat_Brah @benjamincowen The Internet is a mesh connected lots of ways. Fiber optic backbone, copper coax, wireless towers, and satellites.
English
@benjamincowen The internet is connected via deep sea cables you clown.
English
@BigBlueNation85 @benjamincowen Because that makes for faster routing.
You can have a sat phone if you prefer and can afford it.
English
@benjamincowen What’s the cell phone towers for then lol. 😂 phone signal from satellites orbiting earth. Really Ben??
English
@iFocusBlork @benjamincowen Yes, flight plans do indeed account for the curvature of the earth.
Failing to do so will have you hundreds of nautical miles off course.
English
Speaking of jets flying over the Atlantic Ocean. Why don’t you ask the pilots if they account for curvature? Or is their equipment designed to fly over a flat plane. And actually while you’re there, check the flight path. You’ll realize you’re actually not going over the Atlantic and actually going up and over. Curious….

@Christojt @ManaByte They were even on Usenet long enough ago.
English
@ManaByte Dude we’ve known they truly exist from the IRC days. 😂

@San3inSanity369 @CyberPunkCortes You can deflect radiation.
It's not even that hard. It's just an engineering problem.
English
@CyberPunkCortes Oh? No. I just don't believe it. For a few reasons but the main is because of radiation belts. Nobody can survive that.
English
Anyone who sincerely believes the Moon landing was a hoax is a complete idiot. That level of willful stupidity calls into question their ability to fully process reality.
