What I hope it will be:

  • 2D side-scrolling with similar gameplay as the original, but in renaissance painting style

What it is most likely going to be:

  • Open-world 3D action RPG just like God of War

Apparently Bing Chat is able to do some maths. I asked Bing multiple variations of this question based on different speeds of the solar sail (e.g. what if it travels at 50% the speed of light). It was able to calculate both the travel time and the time dilation.

If it is only pulling the answer from web sources, how did it handle the variable speeds?

Bing Chat is doing quite well:

That’s an interesting question. Proxima Centauri b is a planet that orbits Proxima Centauri, the closest star to Earth. The planet orbits its parent star at a distance of roughly 4.6 million miles (7.5 million km) with an orbital period of approximately 11.2 Earth days. Proxima Centauri b is only four light years away from Earth.

A solar sail is a spacecraft that uses the pressure of photons from the sun or other light sources to propel itself. The maximum theoretical speed a solar sail could reach is around 420 kilometers per second, or about 1/4 of the speed of light. However, this would require a very large and thin sail, and a close approach to the sun. A more realistic speed for solar sails is 10% of the speed of light, or 67,100,000 mph.

Assuming a solar sail could reach 10% of the speed of light, it would take about 40 years to travel to Proxima Centauri b. However, this does not account for the time it would take to accelerate and decelerate the spacecraft, or the effects of gravity from other bodies in the solar system. A more accurate estimate would require a detailed trajectory analysis and simulation.

I even asked Bing to calculate the time dilation for the person on earth. It answered correctly with the formula and steps shown clearly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakthrough_Starshot

A flyby mission has been proposed to Proxima Centauri b, an Earth-sized exoplanet in the habitable zone of its host star, Proxima Centauri, in the Alpha Centauri system. At a speed between 15% and 20% of the speed of light, it would take between 20 and 30 years to complete the journey, and approximately 4 years for a return message from the starship to Earth.

The first rule of gaming articles/posts: you do not mention the game titles

I hate this. I understand when a for-profit company tries to do this. But too many posts hide the game titles for no reason.

I created a magazine hoping that people who migrated from Reddit would find a new home. I intended to moderate the magazine, just to help the community grow.

It turns out there just aren't enough participants. It would be pointless if the moderator is the only person contributing to the community.

I don't see anything worth bragging about being a moderator. I do hope there is a way to "free" the magazine name so someone else can manage it.

Can't you just tell the nurse if you don't feel okay? How is that not being polite?

Not until they launch yet another product with even less functionality, and then they will put Google Podcasts into the graveyard.

I don't like the boss fights, especially when the save point is too far.

Is OOP considered archaic now? What is a more preferable paradigm nowadays?

First of all, thanks for writing this wonderful app. I prefer this instead of the one developed by the tankies.

It is strange that only post title/header size can be adjusted. I have poor eyesight and prefer to have larger text size for comments etc.

Could you please add an option for "tap to collapse comments"?

By the way, will it be available on F-Droid?

 

There is a new word for the degradation of the internet, but it’s been happening for years. Why do we tolerate it?

 

My list:

  • Crosswords DS
  • Bejeweled 3
  • Plants vs Zombies
  • Peggle Dual Shot
  • Dragon Quest V
  • Mario Kart DS
  • Elite Beat Agents
  • Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime
  • Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright
  • Puzzle Quest
