NathanUp, in What MMOs are you all playing?
@NathanUp@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s still in pre-alpha, but I’ve been playing a lot of Veloren.

meldrik, (edited ) in What MMOs are you all playing?

I usually play Guild Wars 2, but at the moment I’m trying out World of Warcraft: Classic Hardcore. It’s quite fun and challenging.

WoW: Seasons of Discovery has also peaked piqued my interest. I hope it has potential to become WoW: Classic+.

Piqued. “peaks” are tops of mountains or pinnacle of achievement.

bort,

maybe his interest has peaked and it’s only going downhill from here

meldrik,

We will see, once Season of Discovery is out :D

Nice try, Mr. Bezos

Pretty close there. 🤫

meldrik, in What MMOs are you all playing?

You can play Classic (Vanilla) WoW officially and you can play Wrath of the Lich King. Next will be Cataclysm. So the old WoW still exist in some way.

WoW was my introduction to MMOs, and ive never really replaced it, despite trying out ff and eso. That voids still unfilled, but I have picked up Warframe, which i suppose might technically count, but its not quite the same - third person mission based sci fantasy shooter doesnt quite scratch the same itch, but it is an mmo.

Great quests, i really enjoy them when they come in.

Labyrinthine progression system, im currently building a new class so that i can generate an Impact weapon and then i’ll throw the class into the dumpster, absorb its power blue-mage style, slap it on a different class, and use an upgrade from another part of the game to turn that impact weapon into an energy generator, slap the ability on another class i like, and use the impact energy generator fueled ability to set up a whip attack that needs enemies affected by the blue maged impact energy weapon fueled ability to farm another - ok ill stop, but its this kind of game.

The space hats are good and pretty to look at. most important part imo.

Donjuanme, in Lighthearted, upbeat shows for adults?

I haven’t seen anyone say galavant, that’s a shame, somehow it got 2 seasons, and it’s brilliant the whole way through. If princess Bride had more back story arcs, fewer restrictions on how over the top they could make their characters, and was a musical, you’d have galavant.

rustymitt, (edited ) in Where on the globe would you best be able to sail a very large ship without being detected?

I don’t think the north and south poles have much satellite coverage due to how orbits work, so maybe in the arctic or antarctic oceans, but they’re pretty treacherous, so probably somewhere in the Pacific or southern Indian oceans?

BroBot9000,
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

Those seem the most recommended.

I’ll have to look up what the coral situation in the South Indian Ocean is like.

Xariphon, in What do you think happened to the hikers in the Dyatlov Pass Incident?

Weapon testing accident.

intensely_human,

Silent and deadly

Donjuanme, in whats a song you heard for the first time recently that gave you a powerful reaction?

Poor man’s poison’ feed the machine? Excellent track.

ericbomb,

Yeah never heard them before but my gf had a feeling I would like them!

I have no idea if it’s what the singers had in mind but I feel so like pro union listening to it. So many corporations have proven a million times that the only reason they don’t kill more people is because of potential negative profits.

Donjuanme,

I’ve given up trying to crack where the identity of the band is, I’m pretty sure we’d be inline, but some of the tracks make us pause the music and discuss if we’re being duped by killer licks.

An excellent band with an excellent sound. I hope they make more albums!

cynar, in Where on the globe would you best be able to sail a very large ship without being detected?

It depends what you are hiding from. If you want to avoid notice from random encounters, you would want to head out to sea. So long as you’re over the horizon from any shipping lanes, you’re as close to invisible as you can get.

If your goal is to evade an active military search, you want clutter, and a lot of it. Military radar can sweep vast areas quickly. Satellites can spot ships at sea, so long as the sky is clear enough. Islands and coastline can mess with these however. Get into an out of the way bay, and throw up camo netting, and your ship is now just another bit of rock to the satellites, and it’s part of the noise to radar. The cost of this cover is that it is also attractive to random tourist boats, or fishing boats.

BroBot9000,
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

These are some very good questions!

The camo netting wouldn’t work on a ship this size.

So let’s say the ship isn’t being searched for but is actively trying not to be spotted on accident or by anyone.

The protagonist won’t have any nearby land to get to.

modeler,

The camo netting wouldn’t work on a ship this size.

I think it probably could: youtu.be/9DSwXZ1esBQ?si=5SRwisQQo4pgRBh3

morphballganon, in Where on the globe would you best be able to sail a very large ship without being detected?

I suspect the motive of the protagonist will affect the answer to your question. What are they doing out there? If the goal is to catch fish, for example, maybe don’t go somewhere with no fish, right?

BroBot9000,
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

I’m really trying to be reserved with the details as much as possible right now but I do want to try to fill in a few blanks.

You’re quite close with the current working opening where the protagonist is indeed out fishing.

Hence why I was holding back a bit from setting it in the arctic.

intensely_human, in Where on the globe would you best be able to sail a very large ship without being detected?

They use silver nitrate injection to control hurricanes then travel in their eye

BroBot9000,
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

Travelling in a hurricane’s eye is pretty damn awesome.

Realistically wouldn’t a 24/7 twister in the ocean not draw a lot of attention? Or do those exist?

intensely_human,

They only need them when they need to travel.

The trouble then becomes crossing the equator since (a) there’s probably a lot more satellite coverage at the equator and (b) hurricanes don’t cross the equator

BroBot9000,
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

That’s true. Could be some kind of emergency system or a last minute resort when they are on the verge of getting caught.

TheSanSabaSongbird, in Why don't public restroom stalls have OPEN/OCCUPIED indicators like porta potties do?

I just leave the door open, that way everyone knows I’m in there. I even wave at the kids.

Australia checking in, those are definitely a thing here

Agent641,

Its super awkward when youre too busy unlatching your ground harness to connect your toilet harness that you forget to lock the door, and some cobber walks in and sees you hanging there with your dick and balls out, pooping into the void of space.

ChefTyler1980, in Where on the globe would you best be able to sail a very large ship without being detected?

Literally anywhere outside the shipping lanes in the Pacific would do it. Even with satellite coverage, a large ship is still a tiny dot.

BroBot9000,
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

Fair enough. The ocean is fucking huge.

ChefTyler1980,

Absolutely bonkers how large it is.

SgtAStrawberry,

Yep. There is even a part of the Pacific that is on the opposite side of another part of the Pacific. The Pacific is also home to Point Nemo with is the place on the ocean farthest away from land.
