Australia bans social media for under 16s
  • I wonder if Facebook and other apps will add/push education elements in order to become exempt.

    I doubt it, and if they do, they'll classify a whole bunch of nonsense as educational content in order to do so, e.g. religious content as science.

  • The discourse (or lack of) around Apple TV is weird
  • Silo is fantastic, and runs quite true to the books, at least what I remember of them.

    Apple seems to put out some pretty good sci-fi shows, which I like a lot.

    I've been enjoying Foundation, but it's been a really long time since I read the books, so I view it more as Game Of Thrones in future space, and don't try to correlate things with the books at all.

  • A webcomic I created with a friend, drawn live entirely on my stream
  • Is there anything to get here? I feel like either I'm missing something, or this comic is literally just about someone having a nap instead of playing a game.

    Fine if that's the case, but I keep thinking there's some sort of joke I'm missing.

  • Zaltzman said a number in the cinema

    In the task where they had to count the seats in the cinema Andy Zaltzman says "one" while he's talking. That should have been his accepted answer.

    Light No Fire on Instagram

    It's just a screenshot showing Light No Fire is on a lot of wishlists.

    Perhaps this is the beginning of the run up to a release date announcement.

    Is No Man's Sky cannibalizing Light No Fire features?

    With all the stuff being added to No Man's Sky I'm wondering what will make Light No Fire distinct.

    What can LNF add to differentiate it from NMS?

    It's a pretty good list, I think, although there are a few "wtf" moments here and there as I see what's included and what's omitted.

    Lost my ship and its contents in Aquarius

    I'll cut right to the chase. I'm playing the Aquarius expedition and I got a ship called The Celeste when I started. I fixed it up a bit, filled the inventory, and then, when I got enough nanites, I claimed the Iron Vulture from a previous expedition at The Anomaly.

    The Iron Vulture appeared, and I began emptying some of my exosuit storage so I could transfer stuff out of The Celeste into the Vulture. For some reason, however, I cannot spawn in The Celeste again. So the ship, its technology, and cargo are all gone.

    I have not had this problem in the past, so I'm really not sure what happened.

    I can't even remember everything I lost, but I really wish I could get it all back.

    I advise caution for anyone else looking to do the same thing.

    We could be about to get some Light No Fire news!

    Sean Murray traditionally teases No Man's Sky news with a single emoji tweet, but he's also used the "world" emoji in posts about Light No Fire's open world.

    Keep your eyes open for potential news in the next few days!

    I think about this game all the time

    Just a little informal post to say I think about this game all the time at the moment. I know I shouldn't say it, but I miss the hype of No Man's Sky pre-launch. The podcasts, the Reddit threads, etc.

    I just want some news, ideally a release date!

    I made it to the galaxy's center in permadeath!

    I just wanted to make this little post to say that after losing my previous permadeath save after 12 hours, I persisted, and made it to the center on my second attempt.

    I kind of cheesed it though, thanks to the teleporter on the anomaly, and a guy named Jeff Pesos who happened to have a base one hop away from the galaxy's center.

    I did manage to do this on the Playstation many years ago, but I recently got back into the game on PC and wanted to 100% it.

    Anyway, that's it, thanks Jeff Pesos!

    Threat of violence emailed to schools, do you keep your kid at home?

    Hey dads, my wife and I got an email from the school district this morning saying that someone had emailed threats of violence to a lot of schools in my county.

    They said there will be a police presence at all schools, and they don't think the threats are serious.

    My wife and I are keeping our son (6) at home today because we're just not willing to take that risk. Are we being overly cautious given what the police say? What would you do?

    Edit: Here's an article about the threat that I just saw. Seems like it really was a stupid hoax.

    I caught my first fish in about 30 years today

    I used to fish a little bit as a child with my great-grandfather's incredibly heavy rod. I stopped fishing as I got older and then picked it up a little bit back in September.

    I've been fishing for around 6 days (several of them were full 8-hour days) and I finally caught a fish this morning!

    I'm so glad to know I'm not doing it all wrong.

    What species would you like to play as?

    Of the species seen in the game so far, which one would you like to play as? Do you think it'll be possible?

    I'll go first and say that I think it would be cool to play as a skeleton, but I'm not convinced that will be an option as skeletons are typically mobs.

    The rabbits/hares/lagomorphs seem interesting.
