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?

    As someone who didn't use the Internet at all for a month after it released to enjoy it without moany Internet people to try and ruin my fun, discourse about this game online that I have seem has been like 90% against it.

    Do you all not get tired being so relentlessly negative about these games? I swear it's only the angriest redditors that came over here because it's so demoralising seeing constant lies and exaggerations from Bethesda hate fanatics.

    Sure call me a fanboy, I'd rather be obsessively enjoying something than whatever the hell you all like to do

  • Why can rotom inhabit phones and the pokedex?

    Good point, i forgot about that. Still, it doesn't explain why it's pokedex entry in Violet says the washing machine is so rare that it's traded at high prices. I guess there's not a lot of demand for rotom wash or something

  • The point of Rotom as far as i can tell is that it inspirits devices that have a 'special motor' in them. This is mentioned in many of its pokedex entries, even so far as to say that it can only use a specific model of discontinued washing machine (this also raises questions about the origin of this motor). But this doesn't explain its ability to inhabit devices like the pokedex since its very clear they wont have a motor like the other appliances. I wonder if this element of Rotom's design is being lost, because looking up rotom fan-made forms show lots of cool and creative ideas, but most to none have actual motors in them. If I were to suggest Rotom forms, I would go with; Blender - Steel type Garbage disposal - Poison type Jackhammer - Ground type Discoball - Fairy Printer- Normal Running Machine/ motorised combat aide? - Fighting Not sure with Bug, Dragon, Dark, Rock and Psychic.

    Lore question: How do Credsticks work?

    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

  • 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. ::: spoiler spoiler In 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

    I've also seen Crag Runners which are basically cliff racers. What have you seen in this game that references other Bethesda games?>

    I'd like to be able to create 'homemade' ship parts using the crafting skill set. It might use loads of hard to get parts that are only really useful for making high level energy gens right now and skill points invested in ship design and the crafting one

    Haha don't worry I can take care of myself. The game has launched while I'm in a gap between finishing an industrial work placement and beginning my final year at uni so I've been making the most of it. Thank you for your concern!

    Honestly I haven't been looking at the public reception at all because I've been playing it since it released. I didn't even know people weren't loving it, it's exactly what I want from a Bethesda game and more (136 hours so far)

    "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

    Love morrowind and I'll keep coming back to it, but for me it's Oblivion which took my heart. Every now and again I'll play it and realise why I love these games all over again and end up playing for hours

    Xgen Studios! I remember playing Stick RPG 2 so much back in the day. Might have been one of the first games I ever bought over the internet. I'm actually looking for something simple and quick to load right now so this is actually a great shout

    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!

    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.
