Outstanding idea.
  • They lose the ability to claim experimental when it has passengers (and in my opinion also since it is not doing anything particularly innovative... It is "just" a capsule). We dont risk astronauts like that. Spaceflight is risky enough as is.

    And the traditional space companies (like boeing) spend so long on design and engineering and testing specifically so that things go mostly right the first time. This is now the third launch and its still having issues despite now risking crew. And that is with several years between launches. Its not a good look for boeing here if they cant get this capsule absolutely rock solid.

  • Outstanding idea.
  • Youre comparing a testing goal to an operational goal? How the hell is that even relevant?

    We'd all still be using steam engines with your logic, because the moment a gasoline engine blew up in testing we shoulda just given up! And jet engines for aircraft? What a waste of time!

    C'mon. You gotta be smarter than that.

  • Outstanding idea.
  • Some people just cant separate the musk from the accomplishments. Or they read headlines about costs and historical comparisons without actually thinking about how apples to oranges they are. The vitriol over musk which is well deserved has really fucked with the space industry's image. And considering how fucked the image already was (not hated, but jaded and perceived as a waste of money), its a shame.

  • Outstanding idea.
  • Like it or not, the industry would still be worse off without the idiotic claims. The idiotic claims pushed the industry forward. You want to make a bulleted list of all the things you dislike or you perceive as failures and drawbacks, fine, go ahead. There are just as many positive bullet lists that could be made.

  • This is getting out of hand! Now there are more than 3 of them!
  • If you think the dialogue and such in the original trilogy is so much better than you must be blinded by nostalgia. The cheesy dialogue is present in all 6 movies, and so is the childishness. A certain amount of that george lucas cringe is actually necessary imo.

  • YouTube is experimenting with server-side ads
  • Is it nonsense? They got rid of the paid tier that only got rid of ads at the start of this ad blocking war. And their tactics have been escalating more and more along with the amount of ads shown. Do you honestly think they will just stop at some point and be satisfied? Seems naive to ignore the trends from all other companies and assume youtube won't follow suit given the choice.

  • Warnings meant to last 10,000 years
  • No. It wasn't executed well. Plenty of other popular comics, tv shows, whatever have successfully blended sadness or other powerful emotions to their comedy. This one just failed. So it got memed.

  • My RuneScape-inspired fitness RPG, WalkScape, has a new Closed Beta wave starting one June 1st!
  • Made an account and tried to sign up for beta access, but the Submit Application button doesn't work on my phone for some reason (or its sending 100 applications as i tried a few times lol). Using a Pixel 6, firefox mobile.

  • xkcd #2932: Driving PSA
  • Right, but its not your responsibility to slow down at all. Its kind of you to do so when the merging vehicle picks up on your intention, but when they don't, it makes a miscommunication like you describe.

    Basically, i'd just describe it as being predictable. And bending the rules (even to be kind) is not predictable, usually.

  • Sony backs down regarding Helldivers PSN account linking on PC
  • 35% of players don't pirate every game... Thats absurd. If you're referring to the pc gamer survey from like 10 years ago, there was way more nuance to it than that. Go read more than the headline please.

    But even so, its not up to the consumers to bend over and be "pleasable". Devs should treat the platform well, instead they shit out bad ports, they dont bother with basic options, they require more layers of launchers and stores, drm, kernal anti cheat, etc etc etc.

    The pc market is huge, even excluding people who haven't upgraded in 10 years. Its plenty attractive

  • Star Wars Outlaws: Official Story Trailer
  • The entire galaxy hinges on them because its a space fantasy with superheros and supervillains... If just anyone could change the fate of the galaxy then it wouldnt be the same star wars. Its fun to be involved in those main events, even by proxy. Just existing in the universe can be fun too, i admit, but its a different fun.

  • PS5 Pro developer verdict: ‘I didn’t meet a single person that understood the point of it’
  • Frame generation isnt going to help 30 fps console games though. AMD recommends a base of 60 fps, nvidia recommends 45 iirc. Those numbers will improve over time, but likely not fast enough for the ps5/pro gen to use it at 30.
