  • I’m with you. I’ve wanted more players, larger maps, and less emphasis on graphics (cause they’ve been pretty good) for awhile now. I think back on games that were fun and addictive: they weren’t pretty but blocky. Yet it didn’t matter.

    Contemporary graphics are amazing, I admit. I also find it difficult to put a release date on any games from the last 5-8 years. They look pretty similar in graphics to my eye.

    Am I wrong for being willing to sacrifice some graphic sophistication for the sake of say a 128v128 game in a destructible environment?



  • Now you’re talkin!

    At the deployment site, a remotely operated vehicle retrieved a cable containing the fiber optic and power wiring from the seafloor and brought it to the surface where it was checked and attached to the datacenter, and the datacenter powered on.

    Sadly, it sounds like power is coming from the shore.

    Underwater datacenters could also serve as anchor tenants for marine renewable energy such as offshore wind farms or banks of tidal turbines, allowing the two industries to evolve in lockstep.

    But I think this is their plan for energy in the future.
