I always wonder if people who make this argument would be against nuking Berlin or other major German cities if it would have stopped the European war much earlier.

Very famous singer, multiple very famous songs, 40 yo song topped the carts during the 2024 Eclipse, was pretty much the theme song for a very small indie movie called Shrek 2.

A large point of being literate is that you can pick up context clues to figure out what some word might mean.

And yes that includes slang.

Final Fantasy 3 is not a very good space sim and I think that Final Fantasy 6 was a better space sim.

Ok, what does that have to do with a MMORPG w/ spaceships that doesn't consider itself a sim?

Then why mention it about a MMO that does that other than to win Brownie points?

Claiming to appreciate tactics involving realistic orbital maneuvering but also hating spreadsheet simulators is an incredibly strange position.

How does one want a realistic space game but also hate spreadsheets?

So you've never played the game.

Ok, lets try one example, the game has a mechanic where a station has a docking port where all ships exit oriented in a single direction. Many pilots have bookmarks that allow them warp very quickly away because turning around is slow so the bookmark is oriented straight directly away from the exit. How does one deal with that in a solar system if we assume even minimal orbital simulations?. It has 9 planets 33 moons, and only the dumb players warp directly to any particular planet or moon because of course everyone expects that, so they place them in random positions in space.

Are you able to do n-body math in your head?

I was not aware KSP supported thousands of players on a single grid shooting each other and the calculations associated with it.

Because fairly few players want to update space coordinates of hundreds of objects as a daily chore

You're not actually using your brain to do much, just as OP said, sort-of badly memorizing trivia.

> pretended to be a space sim.

When has it ever done that.

Keep in mind, I played like starting year 3

It's going to be such a fun game flying 1000 lightyears at a couple hundred meters per second.

It mostly seems that Nintendo is trying very hard to prevent any concern over their stock price dropping like a rock

People don't like Gleba because it forces you to play differently and not just re-do the optimized builds over again.

Oh man, you don't want to buy a generic computer because it won't make you look good in front of others and its only sorta expensive
