HOLY SHIT. KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM IS FUCKING FREE?!??!?!

it looks like they're either abandoning KSP or someone fucked up big time, either way you can LITERALLY GET IT FOR FREE ON THE WEBSITE RIGHT NOW ACCORDING TO THIS REDDIT POST

you ONLY need to add the email thats in the post. and then you have FREE kerbal space program. YES THIS INCLUDES THE DLC!!

this game is a very fun and goofy rocket-building sandbox/space simulator and it has a robust modding community. normally it's like $40 for the base game and $70 for all content. if you are concerned about storage it's like maybe 5 GB? not a big game at all. anyways it is LITERALLY FREE GET IT NOW

Kerbal Space Program was once afflicted by a bug the fans dubbed the "Deep Space Kraken", whereby if you travelled far enough from the origin of the game's coordinate system, floating point rounding errors would cause your spacecraft's components to become misaligned and/or clip into each other, resulting in the craft falling apart or exploding for no obvious reason.

The bug was later fixed by defining the active spacecraft itself as the origin of the game's coordinate system. In effect, the spacecraft no longer moves; instead, the spacecraft remains stationary and the entire universe moves around it. Owing to how relativity works, to the player this is indistinguishable from the spacecraft moving about within a fixed coordinate system, and it ensures that the body of the craft and its components will always be modelled with maximal precision.

While elegant, this solution introduced a new problem: it was now possible, by doing certain stupid tricks with relativistic velocities, to introduce floating point rounding errors to everything except the active spacecraft. In extreme cases, this could result in the destruction of the entire observable universe.

Some might call this one of those situations where the solution proves to be worse than the problem. I call it a perfect expression of what Kerbal Space Program is truly about.

My brother plays Kerbal Space Program which means I get constant conversations that are like

And then he'll call me to come look at his rover and be like "yeah the wheels don't work right so this happens" as his vehicle careens into the surface of the planet and is then yeeted out the other side by gravity

Am I the first person to see packmother on a hp computer running windows 7 and play KSP

[good-fwiend-in-wome]

the reveal trailer for ksp2 will never not go hard but it's so sad going back to it and seeing all the unrealized ideas, the logo of a studio lost to corporate greed, the promises of a 2020 release...

corporate managers don't kamikaze every single project you put your filthy fucking hands on challenge 2020 2021 2022 2023 early access (IMPOSSIBLE)

i saw a tumblr post i disagree with about kerbals. they suggested that kerbals are inherently incompetent and thus the space program only works due to the competence of the player (and some other weird stuff i won't get into)

but this is, frankly, absurd. I am a smart girlie. But i am also the least competent individual working for the kerbal space program. I don't know how to build a rocket engine that works flawlessly and never fails on its own. Admit it, neither do you. Kerbals built that. I don't know how to program a maneuver node planner into a robotic probe core. Kerbals did that. They build nuclear reactors and chemical processing plants and airtight spacecrafts. I wouldn't even know how to build a metal truss, and yet, lo and behold:

Kerbals are reckless, often impatient, they have little regard for safety procedures, and they have some weird priorities, but their engineers are absolutely competent. Their biggest weakness is that they are yes-men who will put together whatever spacecraft you the player tell them to, and they won't fire you when you get stuff catastrophically wrong.

And when genuinely competent people do play KSP, these experts have taken KSP to the limit, doing incredible missions like SSTOs to Eve.
