This seems to be the source:

…nasa.gov/…/global-image-of-io-true-color/

Thanks! My opinion is that images from NASA, ESA etc should always link to the source. They always include interesting information about what is in the image. It is also nice if I don’t need to search the database for ages.

Yeah… I kind of wish it was a request of the channel. I’ve found a few of the sources now and it’s mostly on this channel people seem to post other people’s images with no references

I guess OP found this in yesterday’s ‘Astronomy Picture of the Day’, which includes the link you sent. Would’ve cost a second to include it in the post.

I wonder what we can do to help motivate including links to sources

I messaged the moderator asking if we could update the channel description but haven’t heard back

The Steam version of Steamworld Dig had a hidden area with an old bombed-out games store with posters for Half Life 3.

Not true color. This is an “enhanced” photo.

Mac,

Indeed.

This color mosaic uses the near-infrared, green and violet filters (slightly more than the visible range) of the spacecraft’s camera and approximates what the human eye would see.

bear,

It world also appear much darker.

I didn’t think about that. It almost looks metallic, or like the shading you see with 3d modelling software

sukhmel,

The source claims that enhanced is this one: …nasa.gov/…/global-image-of-io-false-color/

Filling out your arsenal with adversary weapons in warframe gets easier the more you do, and a lot of them are really worth while… but maxing them out? Hell no, that’s 5 forma a pop, and the valence bonus is NOT worth re-grinding out. I’m glad DE has made the Infested Adversaries easier to deal with, so the valence bonus is easier to max out but good god. that’s too much forma.

I 100%'ed Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. That was pretty fun with secret characters and levels to unlock.

Beating Dark Souls 2 without dying or using a bonfire rewards you with a ring that makes your right hand weapon completely invisible.

It isn’t worth it at fucking all, since there is a spell that does the same thing and is way easier to obtain (even in 2025 despite being a multiplayer rank reward). The spell and ring also have ZERO effect on PvE and it rarely matters in PvP when the animations of your body instantly reflect the size of your weapon to a good enough player. Like, I don’t need to see your Ultragreatsword to know that’s what you are swinging when your arm starts hefting the weight.

I draw the line at whether it’s something that can be done naturally, as a result of playing the game and enjoying it enough to put in that much time. I’ll entertain trying to 100% a game that has an achievement to farm 1000 of some herb, if it’s something that I’ll just come across in due time by making full use of all the game mechanics, and presumably see some form of in-game payoff for my efforts. I’ll instantly become content with just seeing the credits if an achievement to get a similar quantity of something is just an excuse to pad play time by making me grind some monster drops just for the sake of getting that last achievement.

Donkey Kong Country 3 for SNES had one of the auxiliary Kongs playing an N64.

Fear and Hunger 2 is pretty swell. The first one was kind of a bit too edgy for the sake of edginess, but miro did a much better job on the sequel

Space Funeral

andros_rex,

I loved Space Funeral! It feels like such a love letter to fucking around and making something unique.

Fuck yeah space funeral. One minute you’re being jumpscared by dramatic Charles Baudelaire readings and then chatting up Dracula in the next. It fucking rules

My favorite game to compare NMS to is actually battlefront 2, one of if not the single worst launch in video game history, after realizing their mistakes putting in the time and effort to make the game actually run well then continuing to update the game for free even after no one is expecting more content. Yes the core mechanics of BF2 is not the best even though there isn’t a single loot box or p2w mechanic left. Same with NMS the core game is still the same, it’s not a brand new concept or ground breaking new mechanics to the same game they just keep working on it, fixing bugs and adding new things. I genuinely think with the state of companies like Bungie charging for Destiny expansion in 2026, a 70$ Pokemon game with 30$ dlc, and AAAA flops this is all we can ask for back your games, COMMIT to long term development and not charge for what seems like a joke of content backed by fomo

TalkingFlower, (edited )

Yes, but Hello Game is an indie game company, not a triple-A developer. Indies have a long history of long development of the game after release/public beta. The post is about the state of the game and the fanbase irrationality. HG’s direction would probably inspire a revolt in some communities.

Omori is fantastic

It’s one of those games that’s best to go in blind (while knowing of the content warning)

Lamplighter, (edited )

I really want to like omori but it hit one of my biggest pet peeves in gaming. I abhor it when winning an “impossible” fight is mathematically possible to win but then the cutscene has you lose anyway. I dont have as much issue with actual impossible fights or fights with losing cutscenes after winning that game over on a loss. Its just fights that are meant to be impossible but arent, without changing any part of the outcome.

(Spoilers here for prospective players) Outside of the dream for the first time (assuming it happens more than once), I stocked up on medical supplies and unequipped the knife, and then beat Aubrey with my bare hands, and she still freaks out that I have a knife. Instantly lost my immersion and I dropped the game.

I dropped inscryption for the same reason when I won despite the static at the end of act 2 and the game doesn’t even acknowledge your success.

Delivering on delayed promises is more than most game companies will ever do. Their actions in fixing and adding to the game is the apology. Every update does bring bugs but you say this like the game is in an unplayable state. It’s perfectly fine 99% of the time and the 1% it’s not is usually fixed within the week. As a day 1 owner who could barely run the game on launch it’s come so fucking far. It literally took half an hour for the game to boot during those early days. There wasn’t much to do on top of that. The systems were confusing and the game would crash almost every time you booted it. Everything has been fixed and refined for FREE!

Compare this to a company like Paradox and Colossal Order who killed Cities Skylines 2. That game released in the sorriest state I think I’ve ever seen in my life(including SimCity 5). The graphics are ass. The simulation didn’t actually work. The traffic was worse than the original. Every system in that game was fucked beyond belief. On top of that they charged people on day 1 for additional content. Content that took almost 2 years to deliver. Now their original dev team got fired and a complete unknown with two games is supposed to take over the current king of a genre for a redemption arc. Cities Skylines 2 was murdered and set the modern city builder genre back almost 2 decades by continuing the reign of SimCity 4 as the best Modern City Buider ever.

When you compare that to what Hello Games has done with No Man’s Sky you will see why we celebrate them. This isn’t some exaggeration or accident. It’s years of steady, consistent work that has turned a broken and potentially career ending product into the recommended space sim of this generation.

TalkingFlower,

Ah shit, yes, sorry about Cities Skyline 2, I liked Paradox when they were still small.

At the same time, Hello Games surely looks like a saint compared to AAA games. But coming from indie and open source games with long open betas and demos before they commit to commercial, the redemption arc looks…dramatic.

Those games don’t cost and are purely driven by passion as well.

The last time I played it was like 2018-19, but even then it felt very much “mile wide, inch deep.”
