Yes they should have. Fuck Mike Brown.

I think Pluto having been widely regarded as a planet before and having a visible heart shape on it's surface is an easier sell. I say they are both planets.

What’s the problem with having many many planets in our solar system?

You also can't find a good problem with this, can you?

What's the problem with having many many planets in our solar system? You don't have to remember them all.

We also have many many stars in our galaxy. We don't have to know their names for them to still be stars.

lemmy.world (the normal design) shows the first page without javascript.

The buttons to switch pages don't work without javascript in the new design, but it still shows more than old.lemmy.world currently does.

old.lemmy.world used to have working page switch buttons without javascript.

Pluto and the others are planets even without including them all in the mnemonic. The mnemonic is for the first 9 planets, just like you only remember the first few digits of pi.

the people who decided Pluto’s no longer a planet

Yes. Fuck Mike Brown. I don't know why many people still let him dictate what to think of as a planet. The concept of "planet" is entirely man-made and doesn't follow any god given or universal criteria. While some astronomers argue that our moon is a planet too, the current criteria would even de-classify earth as a planet, should it get knocked out of our solar system.

I see Pluto as a Planet, and have yet to see a good argument against it.

But how do you set your devices up on the easel? Or do you draw on your lap? Do you draw standing up or sitting down?

They look incredible. Is this digital? Is this Gimp or Sketchbook? Can you share your setup? How do you judge the brightness of your screen when in a brightly lit room?

That's just to make sure people don't actually sit down on the ham, as it's collecting aroma.

Now it makes sense.

Can you explain them? Not having worked with them, I'm still in the "but why?" phase of complex numbers.

Let us know if the sound of a big rug being shot, or the sound of someone walking by a big rug that can be shot, but not shooting it, wakes you up.

This looks really familiar. I'm not sure. If it is, my memory on the dialog was way off. In a way I like my version better. I really thought it was a red ship and there was really cool music playing in the background as you collected the chicken legs. If nobody points to a chicken invaders inspired game, I'll mark this as solved.

Platform(s): PC

Genre: 2D top down shoot 'em up

Estimated year of release: 2002

Graphics/art style: Probably pixel art, I'm pretty sure the background was just black with stars flying by.

Notable characters: Your red(?) space ship collecting chicken legs

Notable gameplay mechanics: You are in a red(?) space ship in space trying to order chicken legs (drumsticks?), but the space KFC or whatever drive-through is all out. So you just floor it and shoot your way through the galaxy and collect chicken legs.

This may or may not have been a browser game.

Estimated year of release: 2000-2010

Graphics/art style: 3D third person shooter

Notable characters:

Notable gameplay mechanics: I tried a demo of a game on Steam many moons ago, but I'm certain it no longer is on Steam. Here is what I remember:

It was a third person shooter and early on in the demo you encountered this big rug hanging on a horizontal pole in a small backroom with many crates. You could shoot the rug, and it had physics calculations, that made it move believably.

[Fig. 1]

Then you encountered enemies in a huge room with ramps. Somehow you could take control of them or use your mind powers on them somehow. They had an aura to indicate this, which I think was a light blue.

[Fig. 2]

The same level also had a puzzle with ramps that were held up with hooks on a chain. You could mind-power those hooks to move them, so that the ramp would come falling down and let you walk up, or let enemies fall down.

[Fig. 3]

I know that many signs point to Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, and it looks close to what is in my mind, but I have not found any footage of the incredible rug, or the hook puzzle that I remember so clearly.

How did you UV the poles?
