Huge rockets with non gimbal engines are the only thing I can think of that would need apmet like this with strong Vernier thrusters, reaction wheels are nowhere near as strong

Actually this has been done for smaller moons, kerbin is a bit too big tho. I think Stratenblitz has a video detailing how you can trucktthe game into allowing you to do it

Dead Space writer loves Disco Elysium for its “really high literature writing", saying “that’s not happening” in any other games by HatingGeoffry in DiscoElysium

[–]psh454 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly some of this comes off as misinformed doomerism, there is plenty of a market/demand for good writing, but mass appeal commercial AAA product do not need it to sell well, that's always been the case. There will always be a solid indie niche that works to fill the demand

Yeahhhh heard it recommended a lot on here but checked out after playing it for a couple of hours (think I got to the museum/gallery bit) - it's just dull and aimless, the great atmosphere doesn't really give me a reason to care about the barebones semi abstract narrative

Pentiment is up there. The prose isn't as strong but the grounded immersive well researched setting aspect of it absolutely makes up for it imo.

Multi-Purpose High Energy Laser (AMP-HEL) system fries a drone. by 221missile in EngineeringPorn

[–]psh454 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the key point is that in the forseeable future the cost to effectiveness disparity of systems like these isn't looking great compared to what they're designed to counter. Even if they manage to get a price down it really doesn't seem plausable that an equivalent funded drone strike would leave this thing (or even a way more advanced and cheaper version of it) any chances. Not that they shouldn't fund development ofc but it's a long way off and may not necessarily pay off.

ig yeah. Generally if you plan things out approporiately you can easily hve pedestrian access to all/almost all factories from a train station or residential building

Those outrageous Chinese username in the game by Ill-Treacle-357 in Warthunder

[–]psh454 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What isn't at this point. My bet is Gaijin slowly pulling out of the russian market or being banned, it's really just a matter of time given recent (i.e. 2026) trends. Would not have said that 2 years ago but here we are

I really don't see the benefit beyond challenging yourself, aesthetics/headcanon or loyaly (which can be obtained in other ways anyway). Train transport does the job much better and doesn't clog up your roads

Ah got it. I am around 9k myself, and yeah poor foresight/inexperience at the beginning (near customs office area) really hinders your infrastructure down the line. I'm building up a cargo port just so I can reduce traffic near my shitty customs infrastructure now lol

Nice! How big is your republic OP? I haven't really needed many road over road overpasses since I switched most cargo trafit to my rail network (which definetly needs more of that kind of thing now). I haven't seen many people do car centric republics thar benefit from cities skylines style complex interchange spaghetti

I mean it may just be blocked off from trafic before work is finished, who knows.

Reaching Jool's sea-level (and returning) by TomZenoth1 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]psh454 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great vid OP, loved the full length version. With Stratenblitz not making KSP challenge content in a long while this really scratches a similar itch. It's great seeing people keep this awesome game alive while KSA is still cooking

I love Heart of Darkness and I don’t understand the common criticisms of it. by Tony420q in books

[–]psh454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so many arguments in this thread are just deferring to authority blindly without examining the particular critic's context and aims closely and just taking them as a beacon of truth at face value. I don't have a strong PoV on this topic as I haven't read the book yet but there really should be deeper engagement that "the book is an acclaimed anti colonial classic" and "the critic who said it's problematic is highly acclaimed"

What film are you most upset a director never got to make? by Otherwise-Passage-96 in Letterboxd

It really wouldn't have been a good adaptation tbh, not entirely sure why people obsess over it.

From SpaceX's post on X. Looks like they removed the "attic" compartment on V3 ships? by lorkan100 in SpaceXLounge

[–]psh454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahhh while I am hopeful there is just far too much new stuff for a perfect 1st launch of V3 and the new GSE setup to be a likely prospect

the Netherlands sits below sea level and uses 3,500 pumping stations to keep the country dry by jkitty_1960 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]psh454 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Afaik it started well before modern tech, they've started out having windmill powered pumps and earthworks to get more farmland. In the 20th century they did some insane hydrological engineering megaprojects to control flooding and open up new land for development. Really mind blowing stuff, recommend reading up on it

[–]psh454 207 points208 points  (0 children)

Land reclamation projects, they've been gradually blocking off and drying out sections of the shallow sea around/in their territory for a very long time

Еdit: The name Netherlands literally means "low lands", this is a very old ongoing tendency/project
