There's a lot of people who would profit off operating an unknown aircraft in this region. After seeing the effort cartels are willing to put into craft like narco subs, it wouldn't surprise me to see them doing something similar with obscure/idiosyncratic cargo drone designs.

Damn I'm glad I bought AC6 at launch instead of Starfield, unlike half my friends lol. Pretty sure one of them got a save breaking bug on the same night I beat Balteus ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.

I'll probably still get it, but it'll be months from now after the modding community has gotten established and the problems have been mostly worked out.

Question: how much would you all be willing to pay for a smaller/personal version of what the Galileo project is trying to do?

Obviously it wouldn't have nearly the resolution of what they're making because it would basically be a giant compound eye made out of miniaturized FANUC IRVISION systems with fancier algorithms that would individually fault out whenever one of them sees something unfamiliar, which would conveniently also give you the distance and angle (relative to some reference point built into the system) of whatever sent the light that caused the fault to happen.

Each sensor would be a tiny but really simple/basic camera with a stupid low FOV paired with a rangefinding laser and wired to a processing PC in a cabinet off to the side. PC runs algorithms on the images that fault out whenever they find over a certain threshold of deviation in pixels from what it's trained to expect to see in the sky. Would be pre-taught to recognize things like aircraft, insects, weather events, ETC, but that would never be perfect so users will have to be prepared to do a lot of the pattern recognition teaching themselves. Rangefind laser would trigger whenever the algorithm faults.

There would be another PC that detects when a sensor faults and records the accompanying laser data, the raw image of the camera on the faulted sensor, as well as some kind of ID tied to each sensor.

Because the sensors are arranged in a hemisphere, knowing which one faulted gives you the direction of the unknown object and the rangefinder that's conveniently already pointed exactly the direction the object is tells you the distance.

The density of sensors in this hemisphere or "eye" determines the resolution. Improving it would be as simple as either increasing the total radius of the "eye" or making each sensor smaller. This also makes the system available to those with limited budgets because they could buy sensors individually and have the system operate on a more limted scope, and each sensor unit would be relatively cheap (especially if it gets super miniaturized!)

This comment was like 8X longer than I wanted it to be but oh well. Thoughts?

It was pretty good when I did a run last winter/early spring. No longer my benchmark for games that run poorly on my system.

Obviously not perfect but nothing like the shitshow it was at launch.

They need to reboot the Supreme Commander games.

That really doesn't do anything at all to explain why one of the devs would get arrested for brandishing(?) A handgun. Literally conveys no other information other than "Roblox devs bad", same thing is true of the rest of this thread now that I think of it.

Like just going off the title, that could be describing a would-be mass murderer who got foiled as easily as it could be describing some guy who just forgot to take off his conceal carry and the wrong person realized before he did.

Yeah, did a couple years back. Had to re-buy it because I was like 11 or something when minecraft blew up and i initially got it and had no chance of recovering all the info I needed.

Dead space 2, start him out on the school level for the optimal results.

What's that quote from originally? I've always assumed it was Todd but now that I think about it I've never seen anything that would prove it, I supposed I've always just associated it with bethesda games lol.

"You do thing I no like, how embarrassing for you"

Lmao maybe if you keep saying it it'll be true?
