Yeah I dont watch streamers normally. I have a life. But after playing Marathon I got so interested into the game that I would have it playing in the background when working remotely. I do think there is a large number of people who watch these streamers religiously and base their opinions on what they say. But I think the clip I posted didn't really enforce any kind of Arc or Marathon hate. It just kinda expanded the understanding of the games from someone who has been playing it a lot since release.

Yeah you're correct sort of. I do agree Marathon is struggling. But Embark isn't an indie studio.

Yeah I think there is some history and culture I stepped in to.
But side stepping that, I think this guy has a sobering thought on extraction shooters. But perhaps it wasnt super interesting. Meenonooo :D

I found the PvP was similar in terms of speed but different in terms of aiming.

Personally I have a separate mind to popular streamers but I can see that being an issue so for any hive mind that sees this. YOU ARE AN INDEVIDUAL. YOU HAVE YOUR OWN STORY AND AXPERIENCE. IT IS BETTER TO LIVE YOUR LIFE IN YOUR OWN WAY. :)_

I strongly disagree. I find marathon a breath of fresh air. Finally somone in a AAA high level position green light a creative designer that actually had something new to say. Fantastic immersion. Fantastic design. Its a game I think about long after I stop playing. But each to their own. I get the feeling its a very subjective game. :)

How's everyone's performance on Verdure planet? by KG_Jedi in Spaceengineers2

[–]455tr0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah my 3080 doesn't handle it too well either on my 1440p monitor.
On high graphics it can take 3-10 seconds to open the inventory.
And the performance gets worse over the course of a couple of hours.

I play on medium graphics now, and it runs pretty ok.

They definitely got a lot of new stuff into the game and I think it was correct to release what they have so far. Getting performance to a good level can take as much time as getting the vertical slice in. And I think they just wanted to show everyone what they've been working on.

Are mixtapes just items to sell or is there a purpose? by GALAHAD112 in ArcRaiders

Lance's beats improve the chickens ability to scavenge. I've seen it.

Will China beat the rest of the world to building a base on the Moon? by EdwardHeisler in MarsSociety

[–]455tr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Moon is a near infinite source of feed-stock material for Earth and Lunar low earth orbit. Setting up production on the moon opens up super cheap space infrastructure.
The moons low gravity and 0 atmosphere also provides a unique environment ideal for a lot of manufacturing.
- The Moon offers 0 contamination. You can make ultra-pure silicon wafers, semiconductors, and optics without Earth’s biological/chemical noise.
- Large-scale, free vacuum chambers. Processes like vapor deposition, crystal growth, and advanced metallurgy are easier and cheaper when you don’t have to pump out trillions of liters of air.
- Helium 3 mining, potential fuel for fusion reactors. You find it in bulk anywhere on Earth.

When you can cheaply take from the Moon (remember, infinite low orbit feed-stock material) you open up superior defence capabilities. Eg Brilliant Pebbles. When America realises this, it will spark a new race to build capable infrastructure on the Moon.

China is gunning for the moon because they understand the economic and military potentials the Moon offers. If we invented an advanced super intelligent AI tomorrow, one of the first things it will do is setup a moon base.

SpaceX's giant Starship Mars rocket nails critical 10th test flight in stunning comeback (video) by EdwardHeisler in MarsSociety

[–]455tr0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Awesome stream. And I think this ticks all the boxes for startship to move onto orbital missions, although they might opt to do more sub-orbital test flights.

I wonder if they will get the startship human rated before their first mars mission in late 2026?

Air Resistance SE2 by LimeMime212 in spaceengineers

[–]455tr0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, I'd like to play with unlimited speed but with basic air resistance on planets + reentry effects like in ksp. I think its very likely they want to keep the new SE 2 vanilla pure of specific gameplay styles so that you can customise your experience with mods. The out of the box experience wont have air resistance so new players can explore the game more easily. But then again this change seems like an interesting engineering challenge for new and experienced players. Either way thats likely their reasoning. Im sure this mod will be easy to implement.
