It is. Finished Trials and Tribulations last week. What an adventure.

Zahille7,

I’ve been looking at Ace Attorney Chronicles for a while (that funky prequel one) because it looks really unique

timo_timboo_, (edited )

Yeah, it looks pretty cool. I’m gonna take a break from the series, but I’ll definitely check it out at some point too.

So you want to be a computer algorithm?

LemmyKnowsBest,

Are you so deeply entrenched in modern technology that you cannot fathom that a human could comprehend and map future astronomical patterns?

Humans have been doing this since early records of humankind on earth. Loooooong before computers existed. Computers have only been around the last few decades.

When I was a kid my parents bought me a book called “practical astronomy with your calculator” that went over all the workings and formulae for calculating eclipses, moon phases, locations of the planets and heaps more. If you want to get into it I highly recommend this book or something similar.

dellish,

BTW the book was by Peter Duffett-Smith if that helps.

Is London in the eclipse zone?

No—this is a good resource for finding the next one closest to you. www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/list.html

If you’re in Europe, northern Spain in 2026 is the next best opportunity.

Math.

LemmyKnowsBest,

Yesss. I waaaaant it in my mind and in my souuuuuul.

Sprawlie,

Fun Fact:

They discovered Neptune by math. They studied the orbit of Uranus and noticed anomalies in the mavity, so they postulated there must be another planet. Using math, calculated it’s path, aimed their telescopes, and voila, Neptune.

I am terrible at math, so I can’t explain how it works. But it’s all about physics. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_mechanics is probably a good start.

Me too! Always wanted to get into, thinking it worthwhile to have a running solar system or celestial model on your own machine that you know how to operate etc. Just never really tried sadly!

marduk,

I used Stellarium today to see how the eclipse would look from my location, highly recommend it if you want to start playing

Oh yea I’ve used it and from memory it’s awesome as you say. I was more talking about getting into the technical details of running a model and calculating various things of personal interest.

Thanks for the recommendation though!

I’m pretty sure they just hold up a tennis ball and shine a flashlight on a globe, its not rocket surgery

dudinax,

I’ve heard from a government authority that the eclipse path is determined by how gay we are.

LemmyKnowsBest,

I like the way you think

JoMomma,

You’d be the first

"Things are bad/the end of the world" is the in-vogue thing right now. People think it makes them look smart/unbiased/well informed.

It’s been a challenge for devs to find ways to make each weapon pickup rewarding without constantly having ATK number go up.

  • Division 2: Every spare weapon can be dumped into the Specialization research for that weapon type. If not, it probably has unique weapon mechanics that are interesting if nothing else
  • Zelda TOTK: All weapons break, so even a duplicate of an old weapon will let you keep swinging that weapon type

This is so true. The best game ever made Deus Ex has notes you read but all conversations are voiced

melpomenesclevage,

No, the best game ever made is disco Elysium; you’re wearing your nostalgia goggles.

therealjcdenton,

Have you even played Deus Ex recently, it’s actually better than it was when it released due to its messages being more relevant today

melpomenesclevage, (edited )

I find a lot of the conspiracy shit reeeeealy hasn’t aged well.

Have you played disco Elysium? Its pretty Fucking poignant. On like every level. I imagine it might fall flat on a kid, but if youre old enough for the original deus ex, you’re old enough for some of the harder shit to hit home.

Disco Elysium has entered the chat

melpomenesclevage,

Yeah. And it is. skitters off to live in the rafters of a cathedral

Biggest reason I play visual novels is definitely for story and lack of gameplay, usually (cough cough Danganronpa cough cough). Gameplay means little to me if I’m really interested in the story and wanna see it through.

Potatos_are_not_friends, do gaming w This also applies to a lot of RPG fans

I don’t think the gameplay is fun at all.

It’s the story - it’s so freaking engaging. And I’ll deal with the boring point and click finding for clues, if I get to learn more how the sumo wrestler man was not the killer.

Have you read the books in Skyrim (or previous TES titles)? There’s some pretty good stories.
