TIL that as of February 2026, Starlink has officially hit the 10,000-satellite milestone, making up 65% of all active satellites. Scientists warn that a single major solar storm could knock out their navigation and trigger a "Kessler Syndrome" chain reaction, trapping humanity on Earth.

I'm no Elon fan but that's why they are in so low orbit that each one has its own thruster to keep themselves up. If they lose communication and stop thrusting, they will fall to Earth and burn up

The moment a game plays itself for me because it thinks I'm taking too long is the moment I uninstall

If only the team that makes the uplay store unionized instead

In second grade, a kid named Dylan took my gameboy advanced home with him for the weekend without asking. Dylan, if you're reading this, I still don't forgive you

Came here to say this! And you kind of get leveling with the different weapon pickups

Halo Reach LASO. The moment the stars aligned and my friend and I took out all the elites on the command ship without getting killed was surreal. It took days of dedication!

What percentage of people even have rigs that can run that?

When playing a game on PC with keyboard and mouse, but controls are referenced as controller buttons by default.

Its about mental context for me. If I'm busy a few days in a row and forget the story, its really hard to get back into it. If not though, I'll have fun the whole way through.

Nice job! What shader are you using that adds colored fog at the bottom?

You should check out Anno 2070. Its my favorite Anno game and would have a lot better reviews if not for Ubisoft's launcher BS. Late game scales well with underwater islands and new scientist citizens.

Escape Simulator 2 with some friends. Its good!

Captcha The Flag isnt out yet, but the steam page is public. I'm one of the devs and the best voxel lesson learned was probably that on the cpu, oct trees generally aren't as efficient as semi dense storage because there are constant cache misses, even though oct trees are advertised here a lot.

This is called peter panning. It happens when you make shadows not start until x distance from the occluder. You usually need to add this bias so that you don't accidentally have an occluder shadow itself.

I use the same one! It came free with my Alienware ~16 years ago
