65dBnoise, (edited ) A city on Mars?!
Well, close, but no. It's #ESO's Paranal little town of about 150 people in the Chilean Atacama Desert, next to the Very Large Telescope (#VLT).Article: https://www.eso.org/public/blog/tiny-town-in-the-desert/

WhyNotZoidberg, (edited ) Okay, so I am annoyed at #Bethesda
The reason? They push the "Free DLC" (aka user created content they decided they like) onto the game ( #Fallout4 ) with no option to say no.
I... I am not a fan of user created content at the best of times, it tends to be completely overpowered or in other ways stick out like a sore thumb.
I had to manually go in and delete files from a directory since unlike the proper DLCs or properly installed mods you can't just uncheck it.
colorfulmartian,
mattferrell, Latest follow-up podcast is out! YouTube: https://youtu.be/fcyyrM3_Aks Audio version: https://share.transistor.fm/s/4e031f3b Sean and I talk about using sand to cut down on energy storage costs. Thermal energy storage is getting really hot now, but will it work for homes as well?
mackaj, Don't you have to do that sort of thing at scale for it to be efficient?
mattferrell, @mackaj yes and no. Yes, efficiency will be better for larger scale installations. But for residential the slightly lower efficiency can still make sense cost-wise in many situations.

massivelyop, Tamriel Infinium: Elder Scrolls Online celebrates its 10th anniversary in Orc-land
🔗 https://massivelyop.com/2024/03/29/tamriel-infinium-elder-scrolls-online-celebrates-its-10th-anniversary-in-orc-land
#ESO #ElderScrollsOnline
kevinbrill, @massivelyop Everyone focused on #FFXIV and #WorldOfWarcraft, while #ElderScrollsOnline quietly produces high quality content on a consistent basis. Yeah the animations aren't the greatest, and the colors are washed out, but there's always good stories to be had, unique things to do, and content that (IMO) is worth the money paid.
mattferrell, How will heat storage impact our lives in our homes?
Check out our video on it, here: https://youtu.be/KVqHYNE2QwE

mattferrell, Do you want thermal energy storage for your home?

mattferrell, @shom Good call out. I'd be VERY interested in that myself.
DaleTrexel, @mattferrell Thanks! I figured as much
It's an important detail that is often left out of efficiency estimates. I'd love to see more side-by-side graphic comparisons of how various storage systems perform over time, both electricity and heat.

krookedwarden, Here we go again #Oblivion #elderscrolls
WanderingInDigitalWorlds, @krookedwarden I still remember this sight even though it's been about a year since I've last played one of my saves. Oblivion is an oddly beautiful game, because the characters are terrifyingly proportioned but the iconic vistas are simply unforgettable!
krookedwarden, @WanderingInDigitalWorlds your totally right. There is just something beautiful about Oblivion. I go back to it about once a year :ablobcatattention:
astrocorrus, Italian When a #star like our #sun reaches the end of its life, it can ingest the surrounding #planets and #asteroids that were born with it. Now, using the #EuropeanSouthernObservatory's #VeryLargeTelescope (#ESO's #VLT) in Chile, #researchers have found a unique signature of this process for the first time—a scar imprinted on the surface of a #whitedwarfstar.
lonelyautomata,
CorentinLamy, French Ce soir le Projet French Daggerfall, qui a pour ambition de traduire intégralement la version vanilla de #Daggerfall, est officiellement arrêté. Lancé en février 2000 il traduit 98% du jeu d'origine, et vu la manière dont celui-ci est codé, on ne fera jamais mieux. Merci à Aggelon, Ferital, Ancestral Ghost, Daneel53 et les autres qui ont porté le projet toutes ces années !
https://wiwiki.wiwiland.net/index.php?title=Daggerfall_:_Le_Projet_French_DaggerfallPar ailleurs, son successeur, le PFDU pour #DaggerfallUnity, est lui bel et bien complété à 100%.
CorentinLamy, French @mverbesselt C'était Bordeciel dès Morrowind en 2002 ! Perso j'ai toujours milité pour que le PFD ne tienne pas compte des traductions des jeux sortis ensuite, et qu'il fasse comme Redguard (le seul TES qui avait eu droit à une VF quand on s'est lancés) c'est à dire ne traduise pas les noms propres. Et ma position a tenu jusqu'au bout !
CorentinLamy, French @mverbesselt Quant à la réception de Bordeciel, je me souviens que sur les forums d'Ubi j'avais ralé, dit assez énergiquement que c'était nul, au point que le traducteur était venu défendre son choix. Ça m'a appris à ne pas être trop désagréable sur Internet 😬

buru5, if #ESO did anything right it was redesigning Sotha Sil to be the true living embodiment of cool throughout all the realms; he was already cool before this but his visual update was truly inspired in ESO. if i was an elf god this is what i would look like. hats off to the concept artist who i cannot seem to find the name of.
buru5, @WanderingInDigitalWorlds yeah those goblins are tuned very very high.
WanderingInDigitalWorlds, @buru5 I could probably get through it by using Bound Weapons and armor myself in spells...It just sucks that they over tuned those buggers unnecessarily!

kellylepo, (edited ) Uranus and Neptune are different colors, right?
Not really. The Voyager 2 images of Neptune were both contrast enhanced and colored a little too blue, differing from true color to bring out the details of the planet. Sorry to ruin your childhood.
Here is a re-colored version of the Voyager 2 images, using additional color data from #Hubble and #ESO's Very Large Telescope to get closer to the "true color".

lienrag, Neptune's not blue ?????
kellylepo, @lienrag Nope, or at least not very blue (to your eyes, if you could fly there in a spaceship).
