  • Random crits. Fair and balanced.

  • In this simulated view of Mars with enhanced color and contrast, darker grey-toned areas of Mars represent grey-black basaltic sands of volcanic origin; lighter patches show clay and sulphate minerals; and the large scar across the planet's face is Valles Marineris.

    These photos are heavily exaggerated, with their contrast boosted. It's a great way to visualize the rock and mineral composition in different regions. To the naked eye, Mars would look pretty much as you'd expect. Still really cool though!

    You can actually find similar photos of the moon, too. Wallpaper material for sure.

  • Yup! The asteroid is called "16 Psyche" and the mission is named after it.

  • For sure, it's such an earworm. Honestly, there's so many good songs in the album, it's hard to pick a favourite. Black Cadillacs, Satin in a Coffin, Bukowski and The View are all great contenders, too.

  • OpenMW is basically the gold standard if you want to play Morrowind in 2023. Can't say I'm not looking forward to Skywind though—the newer engine and assets are insane.

    My personal favourite engine remake is OpenRCT2. Rollar Coaster Tycoon still holds a special place in my heart even with all the newer titles. Multiplayer alone is a literal game-changer.

  • "We found that the more time people spent in space, the larger their ventricles became," said Rachael Seidler, a professor of applied physiology and kinesiology at the University of Florida and an author of the study. "Many astronauts travel to space more than one time, and our study shows it takes about three years between flights for the ventricles to fully recover."

    Space has proven challenging for the human body. I know that prolonged habitation affected bone density and increased the risk of kidney stones, but are there any other well-documented health concerns?

    [EDIT] I looked into it and found a few other concerns:

    • Vision problems
    • Muscle density loss
    • Radiation sickness ( ! )
    • Weakened immune system
  • The only community I really miss is r/todayilearned. Just some quick, interesting facts. Having an alternative here would be fantastic.

  • 100%! Dark Souls is challenging but incredibly rewarding. They reward pattern recognition and give you a ton of build options. If you've ever played Elden Ring, you'll probably enjoy the third game, too. 😄

    All of the titles work well on Steam Deck too, with gold or platinum rankings on ProtonDB.
