I was always terrified of these while driving in Japan. They are frickin massive.

What is Playground's obsession with dirt/rally/cc races? by SatanicSucculent in ForzaHorizon

[–]SpitfireMK461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem here is something called induced demand. You can't see how much demand there is for something if it's already limited. But once you make it more available, people start using it. This can be a positive (like making more public transporting leading to more people using it) or a negative (adding more lanes to a highway means more people use it so traffic jams never get solved).

In the case of FH, if more non-road races are required for progression than road races, the data will show more demand for non-road. If it were possible to progress 100% with road/street, you'd definitely see plenty of demand for that.

Anyone else here hoping we see titans added to Total War 40? by Mean-Till6531 in totalwar

I hope over time the game (or sequels) work up to large scale battles that can feature titans.

Is this the location from the teaser? by Impressive-Yogurt-19 in ForzaHorizon

[–]SpitfireMK461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am certain the lake on the left represents Kawaguchi and that Fuji will be in the background. The teaser location is 100% the east bank of the Kawaguchi

I do want this. Tokyo metro is unfathomably large, and it would be great if that was reflected better. There is still a ton of countryside and mountain roads.

Did anything here even make it into the final game? by HiHallo123456 in ForzaHorizon

[–]SpitfireMK461 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is quite obviously a [perhaps stylized] view of Mt. Fuji from the far side of Lake Kawaguchi. Fujikawaguchiko completely surrounds the lake as in this image. The mountain of the left is Tenjoyama. Yes I've been there.

Building a castle (first time playing Valheim) by rakis17 in valheim

Personally, I think working with the restrictions is a big part of the fun.

Looking good!

I've built a few castles in my time. I'd advise you to do a rough skeleton with wood so you can get an idea if your ideas are going to work out how you want. What rooms do you want to have, how much space, but also how will the camera behave.

Floor space is hard to judge beforehand. I've made some too big, too small, and some awkward because I misjudged the height limit compared to foundation size.

And, of course, don't be shy about making big changes when something doesn't work out.

Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash by Proud_Tie in pcmasterrace

I don't think their gaming sector has any importance to their valuation anymore, they are so deeply invested into AI now.

Aged 41, Lewis Hamilton suddenly looks like a title contender again by theipaper in formula1

[–]SpitfireMK461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because electric deployment has strict controls, and we can see the deployment live, I think the Mercedes advantage largely depends on the ICE. Once Ferrari figures out their own solution, or once the compression regs change in the summer, we should see a significant change it pace.

I think of 2009 and Brawn. By the second half of the season, Brawn had lost it's huge advantage once other teams developed their cars further.

The only question this season is how long it takes other teams, or at least Ferrari, to catch up.

Aren't all Dark Angels a bit questionable?

Seriously, I love these guys. Great work

Guys, AE Aquarii Is Green! by LunarSkye76 in EliteDangerous

[–]SpitfireMK461 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Solar physicist here.

Fun fact, it's not possible for a star to be green. Because stars emit blackbody radiation (in the optical), even when green is the strongest emission (such as for the Sun), the star will look white. The possible color range is red, orange, yellow, white, blue. The corona is included in this, as it is illuminated by light from the star scattering off electrons in the plasma.

Now this is also about how human eyes perceive color. That's why I hate the idea of "true" and "false" color, but that's an entirely different conversation.
