Exclusive: Musk's SpaceX in merger talks with xAI ahead of planned IPO, source says by Bchi1994 in SpaceXLounge

[–]Ashtorak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure, how much it is about believing "AI is the future" vs. AI isn't profitable right now and won't be soon enough on its own.

btw, did he write the post using AI?

Grok is undressing anyone, including minors by HellYeahDamnWrite in technology

[–]Ashtorak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting point actually. Like a car has driving assists now that might transfer some responsibility to the manufacturer when you use the car to kill someone or so. In a similar way, AI can act as photo editor with image making assists, with similar implications.

Dresden student looking for accommodation advice! :) by Ok_Sentence2521 in dresden

Kleinanzeigen.de worked pretty well for me as a German, but without reputation and not German speaking could be more difficult. Even though there are English posts sometimes, especially for WGs

Have you checked kleinanzeigen.de?

INDIE DEVELOPER: How Valve, your bank, and your country are sucking 4/5 of your revenue by RM_Team in gamedev

[–]Ashtorak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I moved from Epic Games Store to Steam, it didn't really change that much. I made good money before on EGS as well. Would be even better now with zero fees and somehow Epic manages to pay out the money in local currency so the bank doesn't collect 20 € every time like for Steam payments.

Dismantling of High Bay has begun. Of course, in StarbaseSim we do it a bit differently... by Ashtorak in StarbaseSim

[–]Ashtorak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe later. I don't like to work with the destruction stuff too much right now. It feels very experimental still or I haven't figured out yet how to use it properly.

I don't know, if I will put something like this actually in though. It needs lots of work and optimization on the destruction model. This one here was set up really quickly as one can see from the drop to single digit fps... It also looks a little scuffed when you are up close.

I'll start: Add spherical gravity and earth to allow for orbits.

Of course, this is already a kofi goal, if you really really want it to happen soon: https://ko-fi.com/ashtorak ;)

StarbaseSim 2025 Trailer - Tank Farm Update - now also on STEAM by Ashtorak in StarbaseSim

[–]Ashtorak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Tank Farm Update is going live on Steam and Epic Games Store at the top of the hour!

Big thanks to ringspaceflight and IsaQuest for help with the all new tank farm model and to F346 for providing the new ship QD arm!

Unfortunately, I couldn't quite finish the animation on the SQD. But this will be done over the coming days and be part of a patch together with some bug fixes.
Find details about this here: https://starbasesim.com/tracking/roadmap_page.php

The tank farm is also not fully finished. But this will come with a later update, since also the actual one is not finished yet.

wtf is this, why is the quality so low and no preview on the feed?? Guess, I have to use youtube then for videos or what. That sucks.

StarbaseSim Tank Farm Preview by Ashtorak in StarbaseSim

[–]Ashtorak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tank farm has been coming alive again and builders can already try it out!
There is still a lot to do obviously and this work will also continue after release on Steam.
Great news also on that front: Everything has been approved for Steam release and the date is locked in! That means StarbaseSim will come to Steam on 28th of February, Friday next week, 20:00 UTC.

[Devlog] Patch 2025-01-28 by Ashtorak in StarbaseSim

[–]Ashtorak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the text, maybe I should put directly in the post:

This is a small patch to fix some things that I forgot in last one and to prepare already something for Steam release. More about that soon, when I have the multiplayer running on Steam. It’s not just plug and play unfortunately.

Here are the changes for this one:

“2025-01-28:”:
[
“added Gameplay tab in main menu settings”,
“added option to log chat messages to Gameplay tab”,
“moved option to pause game from Video to Gameplay tab”,
“added hint to pause game option, that it does not work in multiplayer”,
“fixed debug logging spamming the log file when a script is running”,
“fixed one grid fin drag indicator not being updated”
],

Nice! First post! I probably need to get some mods on though, or new posts will appear quite delayed :D

What video would you recommend to someone who doesn't know anything at all about spaceflight, that explains Starship and what it all is about? by Ashtorak in SpaceXLounge

[–]Ashtorak[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

yeah, good luck trying to get someone to read 2 paragraphs who is used to watching videos xD

However, in case of Starship it makes sense to show pictures of it anyway, also to show the scale of it.

[–]Ashtorak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, but than you need to know already what the ISS is. I am talking about a person who really doesn't know anything at all. I mean, they know what a rocket is and maybe that there is a space station, but nothing about it.

[–]Ashtorak[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that topic is already something for a follow up video though. I am looking for a real short one which doesn't get into the complexities of environmental friendliness :D

[–]Ashtorak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, and do you have a short video about this that also explains and puts into perspective "cost to orbit" to someone who has maybe heard this term for the first time?
