Yeah, there’s no way to do that. You can use doubles yourself to track things, but the engine is always going to use floats. When you send data to the engine, it has to be in float form.

IIRC, UE5 actually switched to using doubles for everything. Floating point math is faster to perform, but computers are fast enough now they decided it was worth it. It can now accurately store positions much further away without losing as much precision.

KSA is also using doubles I think, on their custom engine. They can do a cool thing where they can render multiple vehicle views at once, in totally different locations. KSP couldn’t do this because of floating point error.

Dude, no one is asking for realism. Why are you strawmaning?

Play a modern shooter, and compare that to Starfield or FO4. They just don’t feel good. Weapons don’t have weight to them, and there’s no impact to them being fired. Your character barely reacts. You just run around spraying bullets, and it doesn’t feel like anything.

What it needs are good animations, recoil systems, camera punch, VFX, and things like that. Starfield and FO4 have almost none of that. It’s the bare minimum to not be absolute trash. If you’re comparing it to FO3, they’re fairly good. If you’re comparing it to something like Battlefield, Escape from Tarkov, or anything modern, not so much.

That’s not to say there’s nothing to enjoy. I think FO4 was reasonably good, and FO3 and NV were good too. I just didn’t enjoy them for the gunplay. It’s everything around that that makes them good.

Personally though, I think Starfield sucks. The story is bland as hell if you know much sci-fi (if you’re failing to appeal to the audience that follows the genre, you failed). Exoring sucks. Clearing dungeons is pretty boring after you’ve done the five dungeons a few times. The loading screens, even on an NVMe SSD, constantly take you out of the experience. I just don’t understand what there is to like. I’d rather play FO4 with a bunch of cool mods if I’m playing something like it, or Morrowind if I want a good Bethesda RPG.

Id helped with FO4 too. Sure, it’s a lot better than 3, but, compared to any other shooter, it’s pretty horrible.

I haven’t tried it, but yeah, at small scales KSP (which is just using floating point numbers) is pretty accurate. It’s at large scales where it fucks up, which it does have to deal with too, being a game about traveling between planets.

I assume it probably would work though. The Apollo computers, as I’m sure you know, weren’t super complex. They basically just assisted the pilot. I’m not exactly sure what math they did, but it probably just had to do with descent rate/time to impact and stuff like that. Again, this is all just guessing. I don’t remember it.

I hope it isn’t necessary, but I’m certain there’s going to be at least one person who doesn’t understand that that is French.

Portal 2 already had Hammer, and even a more limited Portal 2 specific editor, for making levels. That Portal 2 specific editor is more like Mario Maker. It gives you the ability to place all the stuff that’s in the game, but it’s very limited in how, and I think you can only do boxy shapes.

Anyone who considers themselves a chili purist is out of their mind. That’s one of the most insane stances to hold.

You can automate control your craft in KSP with a mod. All you need is to have it send the data to the Apollo computer and then send the output to the craft. It should probably work with the real solar system mod.

Now that I saw this though, I swear I saw this exact video already. Scott Manley or someone may have already done this.

OK, I’ll give you a small benefit of the doubt that “negro” was the common and accepted term, but that was a long time ago. Even still, it literally just means black, so your point is really stupid. You’re saying Americans refuse to call them black and only call them black. It’s stupid as fuck.

Also, for the “negroid race” thing, race is made up. Black is almost certainly more accurate than that shit.

Finally, one last thing, calling people black is far from an American thing. It’s the norm around the world (using the native language’s word for black usually).

It’s a very American thing, where we don’t value teachers. It’s nonsensical in reality, but it’s the way America operates.

Sure, it’s poorly researched, but we’ve seen it enough times we can make assumptions. Denuvo has a performance impact. Bypassing it removes that. It’s a relatively safe assumption that this performs better than they standard release of the game.

Who here is acting “tuff”? It seems more like it’s you than anyone else.

Personally, for me, I’ve paid attention to it some, but not followed it closely. I think a lot of it is just that I understand it so well and have seen it all before. I love KSP (and KSA is looking great!), and have played it with the real solar system mods. The launch looks better than the game, but everything after the game does better. It can look better (their renders are surprisingly shit still), and I can actually control it.

I love space information and technology, but this is just one more step in it. I can’t follow everything. It’s great that it’s happening, but there’s also a ton more research being done that I don’t even know about. This, while impressive and good, isn’t something new.

I watched the launch after it happened at 2x speed and saw some parts of the descent. My phone wallpaper has been set t9 pictures they took. I’m just not that interested in following it live. I know what to expect, and I’ll hear about it if anything unexpected happens.

There’s absolutely zero doubt there’s some selection bias there. The question is, how much?

Looks to me more like they just put their computer in The Void. Rent there is surprisingly affordable.

That’s not true! I came here hoping to post basically the exact same comment! Sadly I’m far too late.

I’m willing to bet it’s at least in part to anchor a higher price for the PS6. It’ll “only” be a little more expensive than this, so why not buy it?

I can understand why, but it’s sad that he’s stopped using the song that he always used to use. Everyone else started copying the format and doing the same thing though, so him stopping doing a thing that made him stand out actually makes him stand out now.

Isn’t alcohol and aspirin pretty bad? Maybe in thinking of something else. Anyway, read the medicine bottle first.

IIRC, it’s actually based on donkeys, or something like that. Basically, this is just misleading marketing once again.
