>On the Kickstarter page, the team behind the game promises a long list of potential activities: "Develop planets, colonize worlds, nurture species, mine elements, build robots, and discover unique life-forms as you coordinate with others in an intense game of real-time strategy." >Players would supposedly begin by exploring Proxima B, the closest known exoplanet to our own solar system, just over 4 light years away (there are real-life plans to try to send mini-spacecraft there). >After exploring the surface of that planet and learning how the science-based physics systems work (with Tyson as your guide), players would be ready to start the main event. >Beginning at a space station, they'd create and terraform a home planet and system, taking into account real aspects of biology and chemistry. >That system can include be colonies and outposts — and you can play solo or with friends. >Players would also need to protect their systems from threats, including environmental disaster, space objects, climate change, disease, and the changes brought about by evolution and whatever else may happen to a planet. >Players would also be able to design a spacecraft to explore galaxies created by friends or "prominent scientists and fictional world-builders like Tyson, Bill Nye, George R.R. Martin, Neil Gaiman, and Peter Beagle," according to the Kickstarter.

Ayden Cook
Does he not know that space engine exists?
Tyler Martinez
Why the fuck is Neil Gaiman listed on there? Did he have nothing better to do than offer his artistic wares to a bunch of left brainers? KSP is the only space game I need
Carson White
pi, god I fucking hate science nigger

Post scientifically accurate games.

pie, you should educate yourself, subscribe to chink kaku, science negro, carl sagan and the amazing atheist.
Luke Scott
Nice. Thanks, senpai. Is it good? Does what I hope happens actually happen?
Anthony Sullivan
>discover unique life-forms >when you can base it on life forms from only one planet
Adam Stewart
>Neil deMeme Tyson >one of the most lackluster scientists ever, with a whopping 13 or so published scientific articles, a lot of which have to do with photometry and CCDs (aka backyard astronomer shit) >can't even justify that on grounds of him being a personality and not actively working as a scientist, due to the fact he's incredibly fucking boring, and has none of the charisma of someone like Sagan >dumb fucking nigger wastes his and everyone else's time on working in declassifying Pluto as a planet, for retarded unnecessary arbitrary reasons >the nigger can't even make a compelling case for it, while Stern can eloquently shoot the shit down, being an actual, accomplished man of science and reason
this nigger guy is such a fucking meme. to the Facebook science meme dustbin is where he belongs. along with his shit game. if you actually watch him communicate with real scientists, it is so obvious he is so far out of his league and is literally an affirmative action pet of white libshits.
Isaac Perry
Fucking love this game
Jack Gonzalez
They'll probably just randomly generate creatures from a list of parts :)
Anthony Watson
>"galaxies created by prominent fictional world-builders like George R.R. Martin"
Adam Ross
B-but he has a memetastic name and hairdo ex dee. I even saw him once on the television screen, you're just jealous you aren't famous loser.
Wyatt Perry
But we still need ppl like him, hes a link between stupid mases and actual scientists, this guy you mentioned would probably kill normies with his knowledge.
Kayden Sanchez
Tyson is not even a legitimate scientist. He is a popsci scientist. There is a difference. He's up there with Bill Nye, but Bill Nye is only slightly better. I liked Bill a lot more before the massive shitshow that is his new show, jesus christ what a nightmare that thing is.
This just sounds like No Man's Sky.
Thomas Young
It's really weird because the two writers they listed are fantasy writers but makes sense in a way because the scientists are fantasy scientists.
Eli Thomas
Penises, other than it being a prime number
Luis Smith
not defending recent Bill Nye, but when he did the kid's show, Nye's background in theater actually showed. he had a working knowledge of basic science to educate youth and normal people, but he was also entertaining. Tyson on the other hand is extremely fucking boring.
Mason Howard
>penises are responsible for violence what are historical female monarchs
Justin Cooper
If all leaders were female, the world would have been a much less violent place
Aiden Roberts
How the fuck is Bill Nye better? He has a bachelor's degree in engineering.
Tyson at least has a doctorate and is an actual academic. Though not much of one, sure.
Ryan Sanchez

Yeh, it would have been miserable
Parker Reed
>300,000 goal lel that'll never get anywhere. black science man is going to pocket the money and tell some unity guy to make a game and he'll contribute some narration.
Isaac Allen
imagine being so mad about an on-topic thread you can't even type properly and call it shitposting
Gavin Lewis
Because Nye actually devoted a part of himself into teaching young people about very basic scientific and engineering principles, things that most people would probably never bother looking into or figuring out.
I honestly can't think of a single thing Tyson has done for me personally. I have not learned anything by watching videos or TV shows featuring him.
Daniel Howard
>wars started because two leaders had the same handbag
Yeah, I'm sure it'd be great
Isaiah Bell
Tell that to the syrian durkas getting assblasted by Merkel's missiles
Juan Richardson
>Game of Thrones fantasy is on the level of such famous sciencetificians like Bill "Butt-Stuff" Nye and Dude Space Black Man
Neil Mememan's just the cherry on top of this shit sundae
Jason Harris
I can believe this.
Instead of missiles and high tech warfare, we could've still been clubbing heads with rocks.
Damn that patriarchy for building modern civilization!
These washed up pseudo-intellectuals sure are desperate for some cash.
Ryder Fisher
Is le Reddit science man also a devout atheist? A friend of mine recently converted to atheism and he told me dropped $300 for him and his fiance to go to some convention with this guy. I'm pretty sure he doesn't browse Reddit so I'm assuming he's a devout atheist or one of those pseudo-celebrities that veryl iberal people love for some reason.
Camden Fisher
>Is a person related to science who reddit worships atheist? the answer is yes if they were born after the year 1900
Connor Morales
Isn't he hated nowadays by the typical leddit sci-memer for saying a few things about islam they didn't like?
Jason Wright
Yeah, just like the first several years of Star Citizen development.
Isaiah Sanders
no everyone hates islam because they kill based fags especially leddit
Landon Gray
I don't mean just a normal atheist, I mean the kind of people who constantly tell everyone that God doesn't exist and make sure everyone knows they are atheist, even in situations where it has no bearing. You know, the EUPHORIC kind of atheist.
Eli Flores
yes
Ayden Sanchez
We have Kerbal already. Fuck this guy.
Dylan Davis
Seems decent enough, all things considered. Might be a comfy, long term game.
Jacob Rivera

Anthony Jackson
If it's scientifically accurate, does it take you eighty years or something to travel between two solar systems?
Carter Brooks
No, you use le wormholes
Easton Russell
Why do popsci fags all have such an unwarranted sense of superiority about themselves?
Andrew Collins
I mean that's no way to educate yourself, but it's no joke that if he doesn't know pi he should study more.
Andrew Reyes
Is it possible that the reason you haven't learned anything from him is because of your age? For example, you learned from Nye because you were young and didn't know any of the shit but you can't learn from Tyson because you are older and have already learned it?
Bentley James
Smart people do stupid things.
Angel Lewis
Only thing wrong with this pic is that Bill Nye's quote is a play on words and makes me think the meaning went over the head of the guy who made this pic, which would support pop-sci argument that overthinking something disconnects you from what's apparent.
Jack Mitchell
>another thread that basically amounts to "I can't like something because reddit likes it"
Nicholas Jackson
Wasn't Dawkings also trying to Kikestart a game?
Jace Miller
it's not just a dichotomy of old and new scientists, but that people in general seem dumber than they did before. but we know that objectively, people aren't dumber, if going by something like a literacy rate.
at the same time, while people are generally smarter, both the average person and the legitimately intelligent still seem fucking stupid. as if there's just a loss of elegance and beauty in how we speak and think.
could all of this cancer be attributed to neoliberalism?
i'm part of the problem.
Andrew Adams

>made by a mobile game dev >promoted by a hack >fund goal is a meme >they promise the universe and show nothing for it its definably channers being contrarians right fellow Sup Forumstard
You're a good example of why humanity is fucked. People aren't supposed to have to help you personally before you care about them.
Evan Flores
Is science related to math at all?
Jason Harris
Never said I didn't care about him. I'm sure he's made some other contributions that I just don't particularly care about. That doesn't mean I don't care about him, as a human being, or what the impact of those contributions can do for the scientific community and the rest of humanity.
I'm just saying that, so far, I've not really heard of him doing anything really THAT important. He mostly just goes on morning news shows and talks about stuff like global warming, which at this stage you're an idiot if you don't think it's a real thing. All I've ever heard from him are just reiterations of what those before him have been discussing.
What significant breakthroughs has Tyson been responsible for?
Levi Harris
ITS MAH SEX JUNK ITS SO OH OH OH
Jaxon Nelson
He's the first black scientist
Connor Miller
no Science means star wars and star trek.

>Unironically hating on Neil Degrasse Tyson
is Sup Forums invading? i would expect this from shitters from /lit/, /his/, and Sup Forums since they think they know politics and everything else but, not from Sup Forums. What a shit show this is. all of you.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson is probably the best, arguably the smartest person still living. >Atheist but, he doesn't shit on religion but, actually advocates for religion >Dedicates his life to science and scientific accuracy >is fun to be around and is all around enjoyable >never gets stomped on his hypothesis A true American scientist Neil is. It sure is Summer in here.
Jayden Evans
XD LOL SO FUNNY!!! NIGGERS AREN'T SMART! AMIRITE GUYS?
I hope you slip on a ice cub, and land on a sword user. Your jokes suck.
Eli Taylor
disliking reddit black science man has nothing to do with Sup Forums, he's everything bad about popsci

yeah, im gonna need you to retype that sentence without calling Neil """""reddit""""". i will not respond to any post that says anything related to Reddit.

fuck off, not even reddit likes him anymore.
