@moultano Idle games are weird to compare to other genres on this metric. I "played" Clicker Heroes for several thousands hours but the large majority of that consisted of leaving my computer on while I slept or did other things
@PillarChud1 The fact they put a save room down there and then force you to learn to wall jump to escape is so funny. Almost made me restart the entire game as a kid
Having a bunch of fun coaching Astra through a Super Metroid map randomizer seed. We're having some difficulty due to it not being able to just watch the screen at the game's framerate but progress is being made.
@Noahpinion@tszzl Not so much heat that it boils all water and water-based life on the surface. Iirc this wouldn't be enough to melt the surface rocks but it would be impossible for even extremophiles to survive until the planet has had time to cool again
@Noahpinion@tszzl No matter what form it's in all of those N atoms are going to be converting a huge amount of gravitational potential energy into heat when they fall into Mars's gravity well. It's impossible to do on a human timescale without cooking the planet, regardless of descent method.
@radiofreejohn@tszzl It'd need a more powerful plant than any currently existing on Earth, but a fission reactor parked at the Mars-Sun L1 point dedicated to powering an electromagnet would produce the same protection as the Earth's field gives us. Trivial issue compared to the rest of terraforming.
@arithmoquine@APStylebook Excuse you sir, the AP is a NONHUMAN organization and therefore doesn't "say" anything. It publishes articles and information. Please refrain from such gross inaccuracies in the future.
@kitten_beloved If this does ever become possible I'm playing The Outer Wilds again fresh.
It would also be cool to get the chance to actually be surprised by Vader's "I am your father" line.
@Madrox88@gooseothy That's not true, having ice beam on always does more damage than the same beam combination without ice. E.g. Spazer+Wave does 70 damage but Spazer+Wave+Ice does 100
@KingLeory@TheRedGemstone The screen only scrolls this far down after you've fallen into the "spike pit." The real tell is that these fake spikes aren't animated like real spikes.
