Dating myself a bit but it had to probably be the first Half-Life. It wasn’t only about realizing how limited and awkward a gamepad is, but the mods opened my eyes too.
I still to this day don’t see the point of consoles. They’re just a way for companies to try and silo off customers and get everyone on proprietary hardware.
Played the three games developed Accidental Queens because I’ve been in an interactive fiction/detective mood.
Started off with A Normal Lost Phone and Another Lost Phone, then headed into their gem of a game they later developed called Alt-Frequencies. Super fun narrative-focused game with a cool time loop premise. Great voice acting as well.
It’s been nice playing these short little games lately. Enjoying them quite a bit.
Because we have tons of ground-level sensors, but not a lot in the upper layers of the atmosphere, I think?
Why is this important? Weather processes are usually modelled as a set of differential equations, and you want to know the border conditions in order to solve them and obtain the state of the entire atmosphere. The atmosphere has two boundaries: the lower, which is the planet’s surface, and the upper, which is where the atmosphere ends. And since we don’t seem to have a lot of data from the upper layers, it reduces the quality of all predictions.
