CDN@beehaw.orgto World News@beehaw.org•Doomed Titanic sub CEO tried to sell cut-price tickets, saying it was ‘safer than crossing the street’28·2 years agoThere already are regulations; he just didn’t like them. Dude was breaking the law, and he was proud of it.
CDN@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Facebook and Instagram to restrict news access in CanadaEnglish7·2 years agoHappy to see Meta booted from the industry, but I’m a bit concerned about Google no longer indexing news articles here…
Yup, just get SE. Mods need to be updated to work with the Anniversary Edition, and a lot of authors haven’t done that yet. You’ll need to downgrade SE, but there’s an easy tool to do just that.
If you wanted to buy Special Edition for Steam, GMG (key seller with great reputation) has it on sale for roughly US$9.
I’d recommend the Steam version. But don’t bother with AE; Special Edition has better mod support.

PSR B1257+12 (nicknamed Lich), has at least three known planets (Draugr, Poltergeist and Phobetor) orbiting in a close orbit around it.
Love the names.

Ooo, I’ll download it now and make a new character. I’d missed out on Return to Drangleic for DS2. 😔
CDN@beehaw.orgto Space@beehaw.org•This collapsed star is turning into an gigantic diamond before our eyes2·2 years agoThese findings are limited, and further investigation before we can say for sure.
Motivated by the possibility that a cooling delay caused by crystallization can be directly detected for this white dwarf we employ a variety of methods to constrain the age of the system; however, our empirical age anomaly of +3.1±1.9 Gyr is ultimately too imprecise to reach statistical significance, preventing us from making strong constraints to models of white dwarf crystallization.
CDN@beehaw.orgOPto Gaming@beehaw.org•The Elder Scrolls Skyblivion Release Year Announcement Trailer9·2 years agoRight? They have a sister project too called Skywind, a remake of Morrowind—which just recently turned 21 years old!
CDN@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•The Elder Scrolls 6 Announcement Trailer is Officially Five Years OldEnglish24·2 years agoWe’re probably going to see Skyblivion and Skywind release before TES6…
Jerboa is very limited unfortunately. I would recommend using the website to change your settings.
And then there’s those rare moments when you get a crit so devastating for the enemy team, you almost feel bad for them. 🤣
CDN@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•Lawful Neutral: How might the so-called AI revolution affect the MMO genre?English1·2 years agoThe technology is still in its infancy, but we’re definitely going to see more interactive, realistic characters. Just look at this example of a game with ChatGPT integration.
On that same note, we’ll probably see studios pay for vocal models and use them to expand the number of voice-acted characters.
Random crits. Fair and balanced.
CDN@beehaw.orgto Space@beehaw.org•See Mars like never before in this amazing new photo from a 20-year-old probeEnglish2·2 years agoIn this simulated view of Mars with enhanced color and contrast, darker grey-toned areas of Mars represent grey-black basaltic sands of volcanic origin; lighter patches show clay and sulphate minerals; and the large scar across the planet’s face is Valles Marineris.
These photos are heavily exaggerated, with their contrast boosted. It’s a great way to visualize the rock and mineral composition in different regions. To the naked eye, Mars would look pretty much as you’d expect. Still really cool though!
You can actually find similar photos of the moon, too. Wallpaper material for sure.
CDN@beehaw.orgOPto Space@beehaw.org•‘Golden Asteroid’ Mission Is Back On Track, Says NASA3·2 years agoYup! The asteroid is called “16 Psyche” and the mission is named after it.
OpenMW is basically the gold standard if you want to play Morrowind in 2023. Can’t say I’m not looking forward to Skywind though—the newer engine and assets are insane.
My personal favourite engine remake is OpenRCT2. Rollar Coaster Tycoon still holds a special place in my heart even with all the newer titles. Multiplayer alone is a literal game-changer.
CDN@beehaw.orgto Space@beehaw.org•Frequent lengthy space travel takes a toll on astronauts' brains, study shows2·2 years ago“We found that the more time people spent in space, the larger their ventricles became,” said Rachael Seidler, a professor of applied physiology and kinesiology at the University of Florida and an author of the study. “Many astronauts travel to space more than one time, and our study shows it takes about three years between flights for the ventricles to fully recover.”
Space has proven challenging for the human body. I know that prolonged habitation affected bone density and increased the risk of kidney stones, but are there any other well-documented health concerns?
[EDIT] I looked into it and found a few other concerns:
- Vision problems
- Muscle density loss
- Radiation sickness ( ! )
- Weakened immune system
Minoxidil stimulates bloodflow around the follicles and pushes them into the growth phase. It’s usually applied topically.
Finasteride reduces the amount of DHT inside the body, as the hormone can attack hair follicles causing scarring. It’s taken orally. Some have complained of serious, permanent side effects after using this medication.
