Right, but as I explained, it's the how that doesn't make sense to me - the explanation that you "fall for longer" doesn't make sense, since 1. with how orbits work, it takes the same energy and time to "fall" as it does to ascend, and 2. at these scales you can use the planet as an inertial frame of reference, so the angle of approach doesn't matter for how "long" you "fall", it'll be the same regardless of whether you're moving towards or away from the planet.

I'm confused, but this doesn't make sense to me.

It shouldn't matter whether you're moving in the same direction or not for this, because ultimately it's all relative - if you set the planet as the frame of reference, the direction you come in from doesn't matter - just the velocity and angle.

What I can see working is calculating the in and out angles - if the exit velocity is at a sharper angle relative to the planets velocity than the entrance angle, then your exit velocity "gains" more of the planet's velocity than the entrance velocity "loses".

If you were completely stationary, from the planet's point of reference, you're moving with the velocity of the planet. If you then did half an orbit, exiting in the other direction (theoretically), from the planet's point of reference you have the same speed, just in the other direction - but from the sun's point of reference, you're now moving at the planet's speed on top of the planet's own speed, thus gaining double the velocity of the planet.

The issue is, of course, I have no idea if I'm making sense, or missing the point.

This comment is completely fine, no weird empty lines. I guess it might be some weird bug in jerboa, I'd look into it but I'll probably forget :V

I don't know what happened, but your message seems to have a lot of extra empty lines, and it's spanning tens of screens on my client... I'm curious, was this intentional? I have no idea how that'd happen accidentally, but it'd be pretty funny

I will remark that you can have both. It's not very common, and I can't remember an example right now, but you can have a main/official seed for the world/levels, providing a curated experience, while also including a randomizer mode that lets you replay the game with a randomized layout.

Or android Firefox with uBlock origin, I'm seeing no ads. Though it's good to know the website is so ad-ridden, I was on the edge about sharing it.

I don't seem to know the other games people are mentioning, so not sure how fitting this is, but Nefarious. I've introduced multiple people to the game and it never takes long. The core rules are simple, turns are simultaneous and quick, the games are short.

The actions you can take are simple enough that the cards in your hand include the details (with the caveat that I know the polish localized version).

The twist is, well... The twists. Every game you draw and reveal two twist cards that change the game rules, keeping things interesting.

As a bonus, I like the simultaneous turns. The actions you can take are represented by cards, and at the start of the turn everybody places an action card face down, and they are revealed simultaneously. No turn order, less waiting, more action, and a nice element of intrigue of trying to predict what the other players will play on a given turn.

Isn't Teardown fully raytraced? As in, all rendering being raytracing? I don't have a source, but remember it being talked about.

It does seem to go a step further, Fedora seems to not only require you to install them, but also not provide them in the official repositories, requiring you to use unofficial repositories. Most software in a distro's repositories doesn't come preinstalled, but it's generally as simple as running the package manager.

I think I was using an NVidia GPU up until about 3 years ago, when I switched to AMD when upgrading, so my knowledge on that front is a bit outdated.

The arch wiki has more information if you're curious, but I'm aware of official proprietary drivers, official partially opensourced drivers, separately packaged legacy drivers, and the unofficial opensource Nouveau drivers which weren't really usable back then.

What you're describing sounds odd to me, but looking it up, sounds like Fedora doesn't package official drivers? I'm having trouble finding proper information on this, but it could be for ideological reasons, since those drivers are proprietary - so the default drivers might be Nouveau, which might be rather broken, both because of lack of workforce and NVidia blocking unofficial drivers from using their devices properly.

If that's the case, it's basically a conflict between ideology and usability within that distribution - it might seem like a great distro for users, and it might be competently made, but when somebody doesn't care about the ideology and just wants their device to work, they'll end up with confusion and work to do.

I will remark that that sounds like a distro issue - I use Arch and the drivers are just in the official distros, no need to add external ones. Just look up what you need on the wiki and install it.

That said, AMD will still probably be a better experience.

It's "of out hot" and "eat the food" - if we interpret "of in" (derived from "oven") to be putting in the food, then "of out" would mean to take the food out, and thus "of out hot" would mean you take it out hot, and eat it
