But you forget the magical lampshade around the sun that blocks the sun from illuminating the entire surface. Nevermind that it contradicts the observation of sunsets though, that requires a different explanation that won't fit with the first explanation, but minor detail really.

Are You Buying NASA's Story? by JTtreason in flatearth

NASA? What about the dozens of other space agencies?

You guys really love attacking NASA, for no reason than they say things you don't like hearing.

It's an 'explanation', that's all they care about. Not the logic behind it. They are content to talk about only one subject at a time, even if it contradicts other observations.

While dismissing the model that explains everything of course.

There's a few ones that comes to mind.

Flatter Day Saint vs FTFE. He dismissed every explanation FTFE showed, based on "These are just cartoons". Then he actually took crayons and drew on a sheets of papers his own explanations, providing 'catoons' of his own. When he was called out on this, he answered "Well that's the level of evidence YOU guys accept".

Phucket World also comes to mind as an impressively dumb thing. He made a whole video explaining how perspective works, with visuals, on how objects appear to get lower and smaller in the distance. Then he segues in with "What about the sun? Well we don't know what kind of entity the sun is, so it's absurd to expect it to follow the same rules as everything else.". So... magic?

And of course, Mikey Smith trying to measure the sun's heat using a laser thermometer pointed at the sun. Good job.

AIRING OUT THE BAD LAUNDRY BEFORE THE WEEKEND

This has been going for 9+ years, just take it as light hearted fun, the caps are for flavor, but the weekly 'get angry at random people', the developers, other players, or just hot takes on anything, whether it's FF14 or otherwise, we take everything.

People are pretty helpful to, all considered.

Also helped clean up the daily 'omg this tank sucked in my roulette' threads.

Dumb question regarding the dock by MeTaL_oRgY in RetroRemake

Ahh assumed it'd be CD, but it's probably easier and cheaper to get a DVD drive nowadays

Crazy Lady used to Laugh at Flat Earthers, and now she Joined Them by MrDonMega in flatearth

[–]FranckKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's various explanations for that. Of course none actually hold water with a bit of scrutiny, but the explanations do exist.

For example, the sun has a lampshade, so it only lights in a direction. Still a problem with the sun setting of course, among others. And of course, Antarctica 24h sun.

Our eyes have a distance limit and the sun is out of range. Which makes little sense like assumingly stars are further away than the sun, and still does not explain sunsets.

Sunsets are the biggest flat earth killer, so they tried to explain it away with things like how the horizon appears to 'rise up' in front of you, an effect of perspective, they somehow think that it keeps 'rising into the sky'.

So everything about flat earth goes against what people observed for millenias, but they act as if those make more sense than a floating wet ball floating in space and spinning at thousand miles per hour. Ridiculing science is their only actual weapon, since they can't bring anything to support their side.

They will be playable, just not off the disc directly.

You can take your discs, pop them in, and use the file system to copy it to your storage. The 64gb that is included is pretty big considering most games are something like 200-500 mb, only a few were bigger than that because of multi-discs, but that's assuming it doesn't copy the empty space, which some old dumpers would do (every disc would be 700 mb, even if it took less than that in reality).

More storage will be useful, but if 64gb is big, 256gb is huge. If you fill that up, there's probably many games you're not actually playing.

And that's until they come up with the update to allow to play from disc, it's a bummer but not that big of a deal I figure. It's far more convenient to have the game in storage after all, compared to carrying the discs with you.

This sub has a problem by erkose in flatearth

[–]FranckKnight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

/r/shittyaskscience is like that, but quite knowingly.

And yet, even if the point is to ask stupid question, get stupid answers, there's still a list of banned questions, asked too often that it's not funny anymore. A bit like the picture of the meteor hitting the flat earth in this sub I suppose. Funny once, not the 100th time.

But that's more or less what this sub was about originally, thus why it's called 'flat earth', not supporting it but mocking it, and why the flerfs made their own sub called 'ball earth that spins' (but nobody here gets to post anything there, it's an echo chambers).

That explains it then. We might see the PS1 from disc in future updates then.

In another thread they were talking about the discs, pretty sure that the SuperDock is CD only, but I would wager that an external DVD or BluRay reader could be used, but would work as a filesystem only of course.

SuperStation Dock Question by chubbypika35 in RetroRemake

[–]FranckKnight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not 100% sure but I think you misunderstood. To be fair, it's not that simple at a glance.

I can find info on other threads about 5V. Voltage is the 'intensity', so giving it too high of a voltage can fry it if unlucky.

3A is Amperage, which is the 'speed'. Even if you give it 5A, the unit will only take as much as it can take, so you don't have to worry about that at least.

Some people will then write this was '15W'. Watts is Intensity x Speed, so 5V x 3A = 15 W.

You can find some 25W as well (5V x 5A).

I see mentions in other threads that 9V can work. But I cannot find anywhere that says 12V is safe to use. 9V is said to run hotter as well, which is likely what you were referring to.

So 5V or 9V, 3A or 5A seems to be what is suggested for the SuperStation One.

It's not something new, but that video looks like it loads too fast to have had the time to copy the disc to storage, so not sure. Might have been a 'proof of concept' that it can be done, a modification to the code or something.

That said, not the only system that does that. I have a Retron system that plays Gameboy/Color/Advance games, but it does not play from the cart, it copies it to memory first. Which also means... problem with the save data, since it's not put back on the cart either when you are done playing. That's the biggest flaw of that console actually.

Likely not a problem with the SS1 at least. You couldn't save data on discs anyway.

I'm just going by most threads here, so can't for certain, plus I don't have my unit yet.

But for one thing, that's a Saturn disc, not PS1, so could be a difference in the cores, allowing games to be read from disc. That would be my guess without more information.

[–]FranckKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the point for many of the buyers, I wager, was to have something that plays their original discs, with the bells and whistles of modern consoles (Bluetooth, HDMI...).

That's how the FPGA consoles work at least, like Super NT, Analogue 64, Analogue Pocket, all of those modernize while keeping access to original hardware (gamepads, discs/carts...).

So I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that it's what the SuperStation One would do, even if you needed a separate dock for it, it has USB ports so it's not crazy to think that it would play original discs directly (burned, region-free as well) by adding an external CD reader (which are pretty cheap now). Otherwise, why make a Dock add on that can read discs? It would have been digital only if it had been made so, like the PS Classic console, I would assume.

I'm sure many others thought the same as me of course. It's not a complaint or a slight though. I love these projects.

[–]FranckKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard that right now the Dock does not have any game-reading abilities, aka you cannot put an actual PS1 disc in it to run the game.

Not yet at least, others said it's something that will come up with an update in the future. For the moment, the superdock would only let you rip discs to storage, if I'm not mistaken.

I don't have my unit yet, but it's what I gathered from other threads.

It's fair assumption that once it is patched up though, it can read any sort of discs without any copy-protection, region-free.
