What’s the point of comparing it to flying? That’s completely meaningless. There’s no possible building material that is “climate friendly” while we’re still using fossil fuels for industry and construction. The only question of significance here is wether wood is more sustainable than other forms of building material. They make no attempt to make a comparison to the ecological impact of metal or concrete production.

Did you read the whole article? They followed up by exposing kidney cells to the extracted micro and nanoplastics and they caused significant amounts of cell death. There is definite evidence that something in these plastics is causing harm, and more study is definitely warranted.

They’re a wildly different level of detail though. The NMS physics engine is pretty simplistic, mostly effecting NPCs and a very few physics objects. Starfield is like other Bethesda games, tons of little items and junk that all have their own physics and interactions.

Balanced encounters doesn’t mean every encounter is just as difficult, it means the GM knows how difficult the encounter is going to be. Any system with good encounter building has recommendations for the level of challenge.

Because reasonable moderation and common sense boundaries don’t prevent free thought and expression for most people. So the main people that look for “free speech” communities are wild extremists or people seeking illegal material.

Apparently the server’s admin was raided for completely unrelated charges, but they seized all his electronics. That means law enforcement can comb through every bit of personal data on that server to connect to any investigations that might be relevant, regardless of relation to the initial reason the admin was targeted. That’s a possibility for any instance in the Fediverse.

After that 45 minute breakdown I’m very excited for No Man’s Skyrim. I can definitely understand the hesitation, it’s almost definitely gonna be riddled with bugs on release, but I’ve got gamepass, so I’ll happily beta test for y’all!

That’s absolutely what I want in 2023. Anything over 30fps is completely unnecessary outside of competitive multiplayer.

It’s done this way because it saves money. Shipping is cheap and they can pay slave wages in Thailand for processing. This is a depressingly common practice.

They aren’t going to change you view on life, but most are pretty solid. I highly recommend pretty much any books in the High Republic era, particularly “Light of the Jedi”. It’s the first of the new era and it’s a great introduction to the setting. It’s all set a few hundred years before the movies, so the Authors were able to pretty much do whatever they wanted within the basic Star Wars universe.
