I mean, would they even notice if I sent an email? Seem like it's either a very rare artifact they wouldn't bother fixing, or they did it on purpose (and wouldn't bother fixing).

That's exactly what I was thinking. I did find a link to an existing star system online: "Israel Hands". Someone "discovered" it in 2018. https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Israel_Hands I'm still figuring out their RNG, so I don't know if this is part of their vocab or part of the curated content.

Doesn't it suck that we can't tell what is real? I mean the internet has always been full of BS... but still... I guess since I don't post often, I'm just not used to people (prudently) being skeptical of my reality.

Love the blast effects. One critique is that it is really hard to see the main character with so many brighter splashes going on. Perhaps use a higher contrast pallet, or use a glowing outline? Would it be feasible to add a simple lighting to the player, so it lit up one one side with each flash of light?

You could use a few different null hypotheses here. One with minimal assumptions would be that the medians are equal. This can be tested using the Mann-Whitney U test. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mann%E2%80%93Whitney_U_test

Thank you for this recipe! Just tried it out with one substitution - white whole-wheat instead of AP four. Not a great idea... I will have to try again sometime.

Honestly, she was still. Perfectly peaceful chicken.

I don't think that's true. I got pretty good at this as a kid and was able to hit the mark much more often than random. The trick was pressing the button a bit earlier than center.

Np - the meme whooshed me, so I thought these were serious takes. Thanks for the explanation.

You haven't gardened in SolCal then. Rocks, clay, and sand.

Ditto. Do you know a good game these days to get that old mech sim feeling? There are lots of mech games now, but the few I've tried are just normal shooters with clanking sounds.
