ALCON! We are finally on the internet! Link below in reply!

@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.

@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.

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.

@cryptocurious61 @benjamincowen Why is it always a boomer with a potato cam ranting about how he doesn't understand astronomy.

@StarfighterInt1 @benjamincowen

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.

@NoQuarterSoft You can actually get some conversion from people who might have been on the fence about getting your game before.

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?

@Kanga7577 @ChrisMartzWX Same problem. Planes are just faster.

@StarfighterInt1 @ChrisMartzWX I don't sail, I fly.

Your inability to understand science is not evidence against it.

@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.

@StarfighterInt1 @benjamincowen Idk any carriers here that do but would be nice as when my WiFi goes out I lose everything

@Pirat_Nation Hell yeah. Love me some Kerbals.

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.

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

What’s the lore behind your love for space?

@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.

@benjamincowen Cell towers. Study flight patterns. No passenger planes are ever far away from land.

@Cat_Brah @benjamincowen The Internet is a mesh connected lots of ways. Fiber optic backbone, copper coax, wireless towers, and satellites.

@benjamincowen The internet is connected via deep sea cables you clown.

@BigBlueNation85 @benjamincowen Because that makes for faster routing. You can have a sat phone if you prefer and can afford it.

@benjamincowen What’s the cell phone towers for then lol. 😂 phone signal from satellites orbiting earth. Really Ben??

@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.

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.

@ManaByte Dude we’ve known they truly exist from the IRC days. 😂

X recently did a big bot purge. But there are still Flat Earthers and Moon Landing Deniers clogging up replies. Which means they’re not bots. They’re real people who are that stupid.

@San3inSanity369 @CyberPunkCortes You can deflect radiation. It's not even that hard. It's just an engineering problem.

@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.

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.

@pathphamwarrior More than likely Egypt.

I low-key wonder which African country would be the first to send humans to the moon and back

@_khusheyyy Honestly yes. Though if you really wanna work in space, aerospace engineering is the way.

i feel like i should do a astrophysics degree

The American space program is back, and you’re blackpilling?

@ReviewsPossum First person pixel maximalism would be a huge vibe for sure. Also hard to pull off well.

People always reply "this looks like [insert game here]" and it's a game that looks nothing like this beyond being first-person and pixelated.

@QqReviews @CyberPunkCortes @21_North_ Bravery is a quality men occasionally possess in excess.

@CyberPunkCortes @21_North_ Common sense will tell u this is bullshit. Would u, as an astronaut, go to the moon, knowing before u, no space craft had landed and returned to earth successfully?
