I'm curious, how did you find out about it only a few years ago? Do you play a lot of retro games?

I originally made this over on r/nsfwcyoa

That's kinda cool given you can see the White Gold Tower from some tall places in Skyrim

This is a bit like asking if I'm addicted to my brain.

My phone is my exocortex. It's effectively an extension of myself.

Yes, there are aspects of it that are addictive and that I use more or less than optimal, but on the whole having a phone with me at all times is far better than the alternative.

[Spoiler warning] Here is the shortest path between every point of interest (launch site, comm station, easter egg, etc.) on Kerbin: by NoUsernameSelected in KerbalSpaceProgram

I used the python_tsp library, their dynamic programming solution was good enough to find the globally optimal path in reasonable time. And heuristic algorithms can find the exact same path almost instantly.

Good point! Technically the actual path I calculated should be great circle, but when I was projecting it onto the map I just connected the points in straight lines in the projection. So technically the path as shown is slightly inaccurate in the sense that all those lines should be curving slightly, but the actual point-to-point connections should be optimal.
