We can hardly plan 5 years into the future, let alone hundreds of thousands… It’d be pretty sad if the answer to the Fermi paradox is that everyone is too stupid to participate.

Halite aura provides tastiness, although it’s technically a mineral not a rock.

Because I’m in the last place I look?

I saw this one on one of the GDQs, and it looked like fun. It’s not really my genre of choice, but I’m still a little tempted to pick it up.

Are you really even on the internet if you’re not proving someone else wrong, or calling them names?

You just know if Konsi actually went in to the stock market, she’d manage to accidentally double her money in a few hours.

I think VPN is the proper way to go about this, but another method is to do port knocking with fkwnop so your SSH port won’t respond until the host receives a magic packet.

Damnit, I’m going to see this everywhere now, aren’t I?

They have to keep the starting civs far apart for balance reasons.

The problem is that performant screenshare (to multiple users) more or less requires infrastructure. That requires money, and it’s impossible to compete on price with services that have the VC-enshitification model.

You can get around this in a few ways, but they’re all tradeoffs that are in some way or other worse than discord.

• P2P - sacrifice latency, reliability
• direct multi-stream - sacrifice PC performance and/or bitrate
• paid infrastructure - sacrifice money

You guys are getting past 5th level?

There are other explanations, ofc. Maybe there’s a galactic moratorium on contacting new space faring civilisations.

If you’re willing to discard the conclusion that we’re an early civilisation, then it’s reasonable to think that old civilisations have had plenty of time to decide whether or not to contact us.

There are quite a few different takeaways you could draw from that. My personal favourite is that they want to recreate the “early universe” experience for us because it’s an important process for civilisations to go through.

It would be interesting if the answer to the Fermi paradox was that every advanced lifeform accidentally blows themselves up.

Whoa there… We eat mold too if they’re the right type and on the right things.

I recall hearing it was medium-ish nuclear weapon sized, but not wipe out civilisation size. Wherever it’s heading would need to be evacuated.

That was a week ago, though, and I’m sure the size projections will be updated as we get more data.

Woowwww… double syzygy! What does it mean?!

Sweet syzygy, dude.

If you’re releasing in a format that supports tagging, there’s usually either a comment field or custom field that you could put this into in as well.

I’d say that people who like the Cahill butterfly have bad taste, but then again, I might be projecting.
