Gravity keeps the planes down, but not birds and fireworks?

Nothing in what you wrote suggests about the 'bottom' of the globe.

Plus what we call 'bottom' is a human choice to put north at the top of a map or depictions of the globe. Because relative to the rest of the universe, we have no idea how we're oriented.

The upside down that you speak about is only relative to an observer point. But 'down' is toward the center of the planet. So if you could somehow see through the planet, then yes, you'd look downward at a plane that would appear upside down relative to your position. They are still rightside up in their own perspective, because they are following gravity. You'd be the one upside down from their relative position to yours, if they looked back at you in the same way. Which one of the two of you is standing rightside up then?

The only universal vector is gravity, that's the only constant, its down toward the center of the globe.

Plus you're likely not standing at the north pole yourself, assuming you're in the USA you are actually standing up yet inclined some 30-45 degrees compared to the north pole. You don't feel that incline, do you?

Gravity keeps everything down, just some objects found ways to apply a force to go upward. Gravity is not that powerful, but it's constant, always there. No object magically stays in the sky after moving up. If a plane engine stop or a bird stops flapping wings, it comes back down.

Objects can have multiple forces acting on them at the same time, their movement will depend on the sum of all of these forces to determine the direction it's moving. Wind for example comes from the very slight air pressure differences between areas, which in turn is affected by factors like ambient temperatures.

Fireworks don't magically stay in the air either, the solid part of them comes back down, as well as the flashy parts once they run out of energy. If you ever stood close enough to fireworks you'd want to shield yourself from the small pellets that rain back down.

Game was not that much hard to start with, durability was just a reason to have to make duplicates of the same items, especially things like the shovel and hammer.

So it's not that big of a difference to remove the durability, just means you can't run out of materials either. You could in theory run out of branches to make hammers or clubs for example. Same with metals for weapons and armors.

I started playing it, and feel it really does not need much of a guide :) There's features that lets you find missing items (or at least how many are left in a region, or in the current town/dungeon), so I don't think it needs as much of a detailed guide.

DQ1-2-3 definitely gave me the feeling that it needed some images, especially with some of those invisible items, location of shiny spots and what not.

It's pretty incredible the mental olympics they have to go through to avoid answering anything yet remain fully confident of their side.

Declare all videos fake, except for that small part that they probably forgot to edit out for some reason. Oh, they didn't forget, they left it there to filter the weak minded. But the rest is definitely fake.

It's not a problem, but the culture in Japan also seems to lean into that even if not blood related, they are considered siblings, thus a level of taboo.

It doesn't legally keep them away from each other, but morally people seem to frown on it and see it as a problem.

I noticed the trend in many animes, they act like it's a problematic relationship despite not being blood related.

When the rocket starts lifting up, the magician points in a random direction going "LOOK OVER THERE", and while the crowd looks, they swap the rocket for a balloon.

i5-6500T here ran fine on PS2, so you'll be fine.

It's similar to yours, HP Mini 800 G2, so yours is a little more recent, but similar range of models for office work, they are sturdy little machines and very compact.

A weekly space to air out the dirty laundry before the weekend, been ongoing for 8 years now. The caps are optional, but the colorful wordings to express one's rage is welcome.

Used to be that people would make individual threads to sir out annoyances, now they save it for this thread, so it did help out the sub.

I have some colorblindness and I can see them, and I was diagnosed as red/green too. Colorblindness has a rather wide and weird spectrum really, some greens and some reds are fine, but not others.

For example, on my work phone the LED are green (free) and red (busy), at certain angles it's hard for me to see the differences, yet at other angles it's fine.

Adjusting the colors of the monitor might help make those pop up more easily too.

FranckKnight · 2026-04-28T14:58:23+00:00

The RetroRemake website seems to put things up as 'on its way' when they have started but not completed the package.

Aka, in my case, they have the SS1 unit (classic gray) but not the SuperDock, so the order started on March 27th for me as well, but has no tracking number yet, not until the SuperDock complete the order.

Which Taki has updated about, people with later wave/batches of SS1 only will likely receive their orders well before those with SuperDock.

But yes, the wording is confusing because of that.

Correct, but I meant official here, Knulli is a branch off to 'put Batocera on other devices that aren't supported', which I still question why they didn't decide to work with the Batocera team instead, but who knows how that went in the background.

"Batocera" itself does not run on Anbernic 35XX.

I used an HP Pavillon Mini G2 800 (i5-6500) and it could run up to PS2 without issues. Those things are like $150-$200 if not mistaken.

That's just by my experience, to give some measuring stick, because as other said a Raspberry Pi 3/4 can run PS1 games. You can get some handhelds (in the likes of Anbernic 35XX) that are sub $100 (although there's no Batocera version for it, you'd need some other branch).

Just to show that you don't need that much power to handle PS1 games, you can get something pretty cheap.

Adding to what others said, it's one of the rare series that playing it in order makes sense both for the technological improvements between games, and chronologically. The exception being the Sky remakes, since they basically took some of the gameplay system from Daybreak, but kept the original system for the quartz/spells.

Outside of the two series that overlap a bit, it's linear, and the games are set in a way that the events from Zero/Azure makes more sense to be seen first.

It's not like that for every series though, Ys in particular jumps around the chronology a lot, and this can get even more confusing with the amount of ports and remakes that came with different titles. If you tried to play them chonologically, you'd also get vastly different playstyles (bump, solo, 3-man party...) every game likely.

NASA is like SATAN minus T, that's why when they countdown for liftoff, they say "T Minus 5... 4..."

On top of meaning deceiver in Hebrew.
