ShadowZone @theshadowzone.bsky.social · 6d

A security vulnerability has been discovered in Unity that also affects Kerbal Space Program and KSP2. In my video I show you how to patch your game: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvit...

Thanks to @zincboy.bsky.social for making me aware of this!

KSP Just Got Better Again! Volumetric Clouds Release 5

ShadowZone @theshadowzone.bsky.social · 8d

Haven't heard of it. I'll look into it.

KSP + both DLCs are less than 25 EUR right now on Steam. That plus this mod is still not even half of what a triple A game is asking for nowadays.

I think the asking price is very much justified.

I thought it was time to revisit KSP again, now that the Volumetric Clouds mod has been updated. In ma latest video, I demonstrate how it absolutely transforms Kerbal Space Program's visuals: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw2s...

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

I really want to see "TRON: Ares" but I really don't want to see Jared Leto.

We don't need faulty robots endangering our pedestrians.

As someone who actually has studied economy a little at university, it's incredible how low quality a publication called "The Economist" actually is.

Will the absence of robotaxis in Europe mark the moment its citizens notice how far their continent has fallen behind?

FAST FIX: Kitten Space Agency now with Working Spacecraft Rendezvous

I will never activate this feature for my videos.
Whenever I encounter a video with automatic dubbing, it makes me physically sick because it is usually SO BAD both from the translation as well as the voice that I want to throw up.

Subtitles? Fine. But do not destroy videos by distorting it!

ShadowZone @theshadowzone.bsky.social · Aug 29

I know we just had a KSA video a few days ago, but I wanted to show you just how fast this game is evolving right now. Between producing my latest video and this a low has changed. And since then even more has changed!

But we can do rendezvous now and that's pretty fun!

How to resize the EFI System Partition?

1 1 10

ShadowZone @theshadowzone.bsky.social · Aug 27

Glad you were able to fix it!

I was a bit deflated at first when Linux was glitchy and Windows non existent but after the fixes it now all runs fine.
"This was a triumph!" vibes ;)

ShadowZone @theshadowzone.bsky.social · Aug 27

I had some issues as well. Ubuntu booted up REALLY slowly and Windows refused to launch.

Both were caused by the new EFI partition having a different UUID. I changed that in /etc/fstab and updated the Grub boatloader. Both worked afterwords.

This was the guide I followed: superuser.com/a/1289122

I want to increase the size of the EFI System Partition to 750MiB so.i can install Arch Linux alongside Windows 10 because EFI System Partition Windows gave me which is only 100MiB is too small. Arch

Is there something like "nerd pride"?
I managed to increase the size of my EFI boot partition on my laptop without having to reinstall anything.

Sure, there was a guide I followed. But still... no more failing BIOS updates because the EFI partition is only 100MB and already 75% filled!

FINALLY, I can show you my first impressions in the Kitten Space Agency pre-alpha. I set this up as an instant premiere, so I'll be in chat with you all the way through these 25 minutes to answer your questions.
So come on everyone, let's give this a watch:

Probably as long as KSP2 is mentioned in your voiceover the autotranscript will trigger some AI (more ASS - Artificial Super Stupidity) that does it, cause Google always knows best.

The amount of patronization that's targeted towards users nowadays is sickening.

ShadowZone @theshadowzone.bsky.social · Aug 22

GN will probably get the video reinstated soon. When they do, watch it, it is an incredible 3.5 hour (yes, you read that right) documentary on GPU smuggling and how people in China find ways around the US embargo for "AI chips".

Glad I had it offline available for my flight back home.

This video was taken down by a frivolous copyright strike (5 seconds of US president talking from a news conference).

This in combination with that music channels like Rick Beato have to deal with every day is proof that the current system HAS to change.

Comeback Denied! How No Man's Sky Did What KSP2 Could Not

ShadowZone @theshadowzone.bsky.social · Aug 15

While we wait for the first pre-alpha for KSA, I thought it would be a good idea to look at how No Man's Sky pulled off what was denied to KSP2, despite both starting with similarly disappointing launches at first.
Hope everyone enjoys this comparison video: youtu.be/jvCiC7nt2EA
