Does everyone learn the same gravity in school or is it different everywhere? (sh.itjust.works)
 

So, I learned in physics class at school in the UK that the value of acceleration due to gravity is a constant called g and that it was 9.81m/s^2. I knew that this value is not a true constant as it is affected by terrain and location. However I didn't know that it can be so significantly different as to be 9.776 m/s^2 in Kuala Lumpur for example. I'm wondering if a different value is told to children in school that is locally relevant for them? Or do we all use the value I learned?

Lore question: How do Credsticks work? in c/starfield@lemmy.zip
[–] charred@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Agreed. Ships are way too cheap for so few people to have one. Not being a captain in starfield would be comparable to not being able to drive a car today.

Personally I'd like to see some changes that balance economy better for a survival mode alongside some other gameplay changes ala Fallout 4

Lore question: How do Credsticks work? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Credits are explained to be a digital crypto currency in line with things like Bitcoin or Ethereum today. My question is where is my money stored? Is the whole thing stored in a digital wallet with Galbank, or is it in multiple wallets and I just carry around loads and loads of credsticks?

How do you pay for things in Starfield? Do creds work like debit cards where you use your card to transfer credits though some sort of device or do we somehow store these credsticks like coins? How would you know how many creds are in each stick?

My theory was that credsticks are given out by galbank for free in large amounts to represent a particular digital wallet so that ownership of the credstick means ownership of the wallet.

This for me raises questions about the credsticks you can collect during a specific main quest mission which is a spoiler.

spoilerIn the main quest mission Entangled you can collect the same credsticks from another dimension and keep them. Does this not make sense to anyone else? Honestly I was expecting to get a hail from Galbank regarding suspicion of fraud because I was able to redeem credits from the same wallet apparently twice

That's just my thoughts on this. I haven't looked anything up so I might have missed something obvious. Let me know what you think

New insights into the origin of food sharing among humans in c/science@mander.xyz
[–] charred@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"This may have promoted the evolution of extractive foraging techniques as well as food sharing, which made it possible to expand from forests into more open habitats."

What is the implication for early humans expanding to more open habitats?

Interesting article btw. Early humans are fascinating

It's really a beautiful movie. Unfortunately when I saw it in theatre I was wearing an out of date prescription for my glasses so I wasnt able to fully appreciate things like the little text boxes. Though i guess that makes it ripe for a rewatch!

Can i suggest a British classic? No not that one, the other one!

Red dwarf isn't even thought of as Sci fi to a lot of people in the UK, but it served as my introduction to comedy sci fi and even just a lot of Sci fi concepts in general.

Hilarious, clever, thoughtful, interesting are some words I'd use to describe Red Dwarf and I'll recommend it to anyone who wants to watch the classic British comedy Sci fi

Games that suprised you (sh.itjust.works)
 

Let's hear about some games you maybe were told were not worth your time, or had bad reviews but you managed to love regardless.

I'll go first. I'm not embarrased to admit that I played the shit out of Elder Scrolls Blades (the easily forgettable Skyrim-esque mobile game). I had to wait for it to release on Switch which had the benifit of the shitty timers being gone by then.

Once I started to think of it as a kind of advanced 'Swords and Sandles' type game I was hooked.

Death Stranding. Beautiful landscapes with awesome moments like treking through a snowstorm to reach a distant prepper outpost. Waiting for rain to stop while playing the harmonica for bb. Definitly could have had one more zone to round it all off, or maybe expanded the final boss area zone to full size.

What are y'all's all time favourite game OSTs? in c/gaming@beehaw.org
[–] charred@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Was looking for someone to mention Outer Wilds. I love when games weave music into storytelling and its perfect here.

Cyberpunk’s expansion totally overhauls the original game | VGC in c/gaming@beehaw.org
[–] charred@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was thinking the same thing.

I never got swept up with the hype at release so this could be a good chance to play it with all the improvements from millions of customers/ playtesters
