2023-08-29 at 11:59 PM UTC in any of you excited about homeworld 3?I played a lot of homeworld 1 and had a lot of fun with it. It felt like it struck a good balance between not being totally brain dead but not also so mechanically intensive that you’re spending more time figuring out the UI than doing actual space emperor shit (looking at you star ruler). Also is wasn’t thinly veiled real-time chess ala StarCraft. I’ve gone out looking for something similar several times but honestly the closest I got was SPAZ which is ostensibly in a totally different genre but also got the fun factor about right for what I was looking for.
So I’ll try 3, but I suspect they’ve fucked up the formula somewhere in the last 20 years.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2023-08-29 at 4:51 PM UTC in The embed youtube videos thing is messed up
Originally posted by Lanny Seems to work. I think the old embeds broke when we switched providers, and I suspect that's a product of the new SSL certs the site runs under. I think this is a "security" measure on YT's side, which I don't really have any control over. IDK what advantage YT thinks this confers, but w/e
doubt it's that because some videos will embed while others won't
it's not just pre-patch videos that are broken, it seems randomThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Meikai I think the argument in favor of electric cars even if the grid is powered by fossil fuels is that it's an efficiency game: stationary power plants are generally more efficient at extracting energy from a given fossil fuel source than their mobile counterparts.
electricity generation from fossil fuel and transmission is the least efficient form of energy generation and transfer.
a powerplant that has an X capacity will have to burn an X amount of fossil fuel per hour per day no matter how much electricity is consumed per day, it might burn more, but not less han their rated capacity even if the amount of electricity consumed is way way under their rated capacity.
and power transmission involves lots of losses through stepping up-ing and downing the voltages through transformers. transformers generate loads of heat thar are simply discarded into the air.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Meikai I think the argument in favor of electric cars even if the grid is powered by fossil fuels is that it's an efficiency game: stationary power plants are generally more efficient at extracting energy from a given fossil fuel source than their mobile counterparts.
the logistics of efficiently getting that power to the cars, or at all, are a big question there though
1. unladen range is what, 500km? we'd need to deploy charging stations in a grid across all major roadways, similar to petrol stations but closer, with much thinner margins and completely from scratch
2. most electric cars charge at 5-20kW for hours at a time; Tesla's trying to bring in a 250kW fast charge. think of 20 or so people on a street coming home from work at roughly the same time and putting their cars on charge - the amount of thick copper alone that'd need to be upgraded to cope with that volume of power is insane, let alone the switching equipment and regulation, thermal protection etc.
3. they're heavily dependent on lithium and exotic metals which are rare, strategic and energy intensive to mine/produce, and most of them can't be recycled. the vehicles may run 'clean' but they're certainly not clean to produce. there's also the question of how much demand for those materials can be satisfied by current productionThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They were very devious and put out placebo lots alongside the bioweapon lots.
this was more likely because they were using the general population as a testing cadre, so they were able to determine effectiveness vs. placebo based on batch numbers.
it's funny that people have been able to determine which batches were placebo based on levels of reported injuries and side effectsThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Lol, I used to spend hours in SC4 wrecking shit with comets. I know the world has sucked the life and joy out of me because I’m now more interested in being a middling bureaucrat and organizing effective city bus lines than raining fire and fury down from the heavens.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Meikai I'm pissed about the next couple months. Supposed to come out in October. So next month I have to buy Starfield and the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC (hurt me again, daddy CDPR… and Bethesda… fuck I'm stupid), and the month after I have to buy Cities Skylines II? Kill me now. I'm a broke nigga this isn't fair.
I used to be such a Bethesda fanboy that TES games were like the only games I actually paid money for as a broke ass teenager. Now I’m not even going to bother pirating starfield until it’s got a few months of non-shill reviews. Sad times.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
