They did end up re-releasing it on Switch and mobile - but the removal of the dual screen combat mechanic seems like a dulling of the game (imo)

Would be a great feature for online school websites...
Though that also depends on them not using Honorlock (or Honorlock adding firefox support...)
Also terrible for the environment
Plus... in a digital age, publishers just seem to be the private insurance companies of the gaming world - they just extract profit from developers.
but Mars L1 Lagrange point is only 2.2million km [from the sun]
I... don't think that's true? The L1 point is fairly close (in solar system scale) to the planet.
In the future it is quite possible that an inflatable structure(s) can generate a magnetic dipole field at a level of perhaps 1 or 2 Tesla (or 10,000 to 20,000 Gauss) as an active shield against the solar wind."
Indeed, "in the future" seems to be doing quite a lot of heavy lifting. As noted, 1-2 Tesla is a pretty powerful magnet - so you'd need a pretty big and powerful magnet.
It also doesn't completely protect the entire planet just two critical points on the surface.
That is certainly an important catch.
Mars gets roughly half the light of Earth, so I don't think Solar panels would be realistic (how much solar panel surface would you need to power a magnet of that size?)
I'm also not sure a nuclear reactor is realistic - forget the nuclear waste, how do you get rid of the heat waste?
You'd need quite a big magnet operating at a level akin to superconducting magnets in particle accelerators.
Perhaps someone could calculate more accurate numbers and feasibility, but to me, it currently sounds very out of reach for us (not impossible, mind you).
You just put a giant magnet in space at Mars' L1 Lagrange point
Well, that's a lot saner than nuking the poles.
Doesn't seem like we're near technical feasibility, though - how would you power such a massive magnet in space?
Even his bullshit non-answer is incoherent 💀
Nearly 900 games have been delisted.
There's also Fable 3, which you can't buy anymore because it used Games for Windows, which resulted in no more CD keys.
Hm, not sure why they'd do it then - maybe just easier to keep organized with the workflow of the time?
I still miss the community gimmicks of the DS/3DS - Miis being shared wirelessly, pictochat, etc etc.
We need more of that
