putting in my bet for "this is how filaments in the cosmic web formed." because where they intersect you have a dense population of galaxies, making it likelier for very large and longterm-active supermassives to occur there. so i'm saying the intersection-areas arose first and jets populated the filament areas afterward. i also would not be surprised if failed accretion of material, i.e. spewed out by jets, is a driver of heavier element synthesis

additionally, magnetic polarization skymaps show that black hole spin tends to be more aligned than not, across impossibly large distances, so the chance of two intersection areas broadcasting material directly toward each other, which eventually (billions of years) connect to coalesce into a single filament, is likelier than you might expect. this alignment is probably due to turbulence left over from the earliest era of the universe. not that i'm giving away a whole research topic for free i'm calling dibs i'm busy

foxtrot here. MA'AM YOU CAN SEE MARS IN THE NIGHT SKY FROM WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW!! oh my god. you wouldnt know this, but im an aspiring astrophysicist and space makes me so so emotional. im going to cry. i started tearing up when i saw mars and venus. im pretty sure i see jupiter as well, but i cant be sure. i really need to buy a telescope. also i hope you dont mind being called maam, or that i come into your inbox to just chat whenever i want to. i really like your blog and i love your personality.

Hey hey Foxtrot! Long time no see, how are you doing sweetheart?

You can call me ma'am or whatever you like, I'm totally ok with it.

That's pretty sweet actually, I've seen Mars a few times from my house, usually in the summer as winters here are too cloudy to see much of anything. Did you know there's apps out there that you can point at the sky, and it'll tell you what star or planet you're pointing at? I personally use SkyMap :3

I wish you all the best in your goal to become an astrophysicist, I'm sure you'll do amazing at it <3

Out Run, a pixel-art game; an explanation - By RPG.

Out Run (stylised as OutRun) is an arcade driving video game initially released by Sega in September of 1986.

Upon release, the game was renowned for its pioneering mechanics and graphics, non-linear gameplay and its selectable soundtrack; along with its peripheral hydraulic motion simulator deluxe arcade cabinet.

The idea generation for the game was done by Yu Suzuki, who travelled to Europe for the development of the game's levels/stages; bearing in mind that Suzuki only had a small team and a guidelines to follow, including the deadline of ten months to finish such project.

It is classified as a psuedo-3D game, meaning that it gives the illusion that it is portrayed as 3D but within a 2D setting. The objective for the player is to drive a red Ferrari Testarossa convertible, from a third-person rear perspective.

Notes to make:

The HUD is done in pixel-art style, and is very simplistic.

The designs for the car in the game were based upon pictures taken by the game's design team when on a trip to European countries and their respective cities (for example Milan and Monaco), of the Ferrari Testarossa. When this design team arrived back into Japan, they furthered the process by finding a suitable example of a Testarossa in Japan so that they could also have local reference photos.

The level design is done in very minimal detail, mainly utilising the stylisation of pixel-art. No outlining is really that present in any of the levels in the game, with most of it being dedicated to highlighting objectives like signs and other vehicles. The skymapping/skyboxing is done very minimally, too; where the clouds are thickened and placed so that they can fill the skybox (kind of in an act of desperation, I think?).

Objects: Signage, vehicles, foliage (both on the side of the roads, and the foliage present at a further viewpoint), water.

As the entirety of the game is in pixel-art, it is hard to render an exact resolution to which the pixel-art in question is being framed at. In my opinion, the objects/assets in the game look like they have been done in a smaller resolution, or in many pieces and then put together to form one bigger asset. Another conclusion is that the assets are done in a definite lower resolution, but had more detail added on to them during the creation process (basically, exactly like texture filtering; or anisotropic filtering).

Conclusively, pixel-art is used in a very simple manner in Out Run; but, this shouldn't be taken as a negative thing but more as a positive thing. In terms of rendering, and what power it would take one device to load it in comparison with another (optimisation at its most basic level) it is more-well suited for those with less powerful devices because of the lack of high-intensity shading. Overall, its a sensibly designed game in that regard.

I’m beyond excited to support the launch of ‘ARK: Survival Ascended' and its groundbreaking UGC integration supported by Overwolf and CurseForge for Studios. It was just announced at Microsoft's Xbox event today!

This launch kickstarts an exciting new era for games, where UGC is standardized, and where game studios & in-game creators get to fully bring their visions to life.

ARK: Survival Ascended introduces cross-platform mod support (consoles from November) with high quality DLC-level mods. For the last decade, Overwolf has championed in-game creators and mod authors, and we’re now also enabling game studios, like Blue Isle Studios and Skymap Games, to participate in gaming UGC in a new way.

ok it was just a new batch of starlinks, i thought that was most likely. i guess they just dont show up on the skymap i use right away.

also saw some freaking ufo shit. big string of lights travelling across the sky together. 20 or so of em. probably just sattelites but haven't been able to identify them so far.

(all night spent heading down rapids, head first.)

then be the torrent itself, the roar of the water hitting the rocks, the furious water that breaks against the stone, then gushes out again, swirls, goes up its own current, finally sets out again, bursts of gray-white light, the water as sharp, the water braced in its current, twisted by its roar, its sighs, its cries, the unstoppable water-goddess, then the vegetation around, tangled, creepers, thorns, trees with knotted trunks, gravel which rolls and is lost, and finally above, the gods of the cliff, marmoreal, unbearable.

--

(keep reading for the french version)

(toute la nuit passée à descendre des rapides, tête la première.)

puis être le torrent lui même, le rugissement de l'eau qui percute les rochers, l'eau furieuse qui se brise contre la pierre, puis jaillit encore, tourbillonne, remonte son propre courant, finalement repart, des éclats de lumière grise-blanche, l'eau comme aiguisée, l'eau arc-boutée dans son courant, tordue par son grondement, ses soupirs, ses cris, l'eau-déesse inarrêtable, puis la végétation autour, enchevêtrée, des lianes, des épines, des arbres aux troncs noués, du gravier qui roule et se perd, et enfin au dessus, les dieux de la falaise, marmoréens, insoutenables.
