  • I mean people still spout the easily researchable lie that nasa spent millions developing a space pen and the Russian just used a pencil.

    Once a lie has reached critical mass it’s incredibly difficult to correct.

    For anyone just finding out the NASA space pen thing was a lie we did use a pen, but so did Russia and we everyone else. The pen did not cost millions for us to make or develop. You can buy one right now for like 20 bucks. They simply pressurize the ink cartridges with a little bit of nitrogen so the ink is forced out no matter the orientation. You just cannot have graphite dust floating around a bunch of sensitive electronics from the 70s.













  • It’s always really funny to me when games try and have NPCs talk about the main story or something. Like in every far cry game the first thing I do when given control is go and absolutely Max out my character and get all the unlocks and fast travel points I can before I start hitting stuff that’s locked behind main story progression. The whole time I’m running around and unlocking towers and guns you’ll get passing NPCs talking about the urgent thing that needs to happen right away.

    Some devs are getting smarter about these things and only giving you a few side quests per main story quest finished so you have to progress through the main story to get all the powerful shit you want.
