spoopy, rok temu do astronomy w [Eric Berger] Seeing this eclipse is probably the highest-reward, lowest-effort thing one can do in life

Niagra falls City has preemptively declared a state of emergency because of how much of a shit show this eclipse is going to be

Graphy, rok temu (edited rok temu)

My wife works for the NPS and her old coworker invited us to help out with their eclipse event in Ohio. Apparently they’re already prepping to close all the parking lots and are real worried they won’t have enough rangers.

If you waited to start planning until now it’ll be the hardest thing you’ve ever done.

Yep. Anyone reading this that was planning on driving home right after - do yourself a favor and find a place nearby to stay the night.

Last time my 4 hour drive out was 17 hours back home. Gas stations out of gas, no bathrooms, bumper to bumper the whole way.

How the heck am I going to get there without putting in any effort?

I live in the path of totality and I’m already tired of hearing about it.

Letstakealook, rok temu

Agreed. I’m not looking forward to it either. I’ll be at work, most people are probably going to call in, and there will be hours of traffic when get off.

Rolder, rok temu

Best chance I’ll ever have personally. Live in the path, work from home, good time. Plan is to just step outside for a bit, look at it (with protection) then back to work.

Wanted to but the flight prices were too much

Fizz, rok temu do gaming w Cities: Skylines 2 gets long-awaited official mod support and map editor

We’ve had code modding by using thunderstore since release only new thing is paradox mod store and map editor. I did get a roughly 10% performance increase on my largest city. It’s still not where I want it to be but I’m glad it’s slowly improving.

nix, rok temu

I’m glad I skipped release day. Definitely waiting to buy it on sale after it’s been fixed with updates and DLC. Sucks to see companies treat buyers like testers.

Fizz, rok temu

I’m jealous haha I wish I waited.

AFallingAnvil, rok temu (edited rok temu)

I pre-ordered, but when they started doing damage control over how performance was going to be bad before the game even launched I sighed and cancelled.

80 bucks well saved. Still waiting for it to be fixed to pick it up. Do we have mods via steam workshop yet? I’m still annoyed at them pushing their launcher.

Fizz, rok temu

No they are not ysing steam workshop only paradox mods. The community is using thunderstore mods but I’m pretty sure paradox brought off the modders to ensure they move over to paradox mods.

Headed by former Cyanogen CEO, it’s a Linux OS that might not be fully open.

LMAO. RIP

Oooh that explains their website which is all marketing fluff and questionable statements like “SteamOS is locked down to the steamverse.”

Still a bargain compared to Ariane. Europe really needs to get its act together.

Develop the fucking US economy.

kalkulat, rok temu do astronomy w The US government seems serious about developing a lunar economy

Sure, why not? It’s not like we have any other pressing issues to address. Let’s keep pouring 100s of billions into the right pockets and press on.

Humanity can pursue multiple awesome endeavours simultaneously.

NASA’s 2024 budget is around $25 billion.

By comparison Apple’s revenue for last quarter was around $120 billion.

Linkerbaan, rok temu do astronomy w The US government seems serious about developing a lunar economy

I thought economists were the stupidest people. Military economists proved me wrong.

conditional_soup, rok temu do astronomy w The US government seems serious about developing a lunar economy

Nope. No. Nuh-uh. Stop fucking up this planet, then we can talk. I’m drawing a line in the sand, I’m going to become an eco-terrorist if I see a fucking Coca-Cola ad when I look into the night sky.

Audacious, rok temu

All I think of is the movie, The Time Machine. Spoiler, the main character goes forward in time and sees the moon breaking apart, causing a collapse of civilisation.

Sure… I would also say that handheld design has gone way too far in the direction that the other alt-decks would have benefitted from going for just a little bit. The result is a pure no. There is no way you can make an all purpose gaming device without real buttons. And whatever core casual means I don’t think a megagimmick input system fits that description.
