Game: Voices of the Void Type: Parabolic Dish (Prime Focus)

Woo, get the fancy champagne, it's The Signal Game that isn't Signal Simulator. Extremely solidly modeled, though it's missing a few of the more essential components to be what these are meant to be, Radio Telescopes.

Looks very functional, I should've gone and measured out the proportions of the dish to figure out whether- actually, you can see it in the first picture that the supposed focus point is waaaay out from the edge of the reflector. If you look up pictures of radio telescopes you'll find that while they do tend to have quite outward focal points, it's nothing like this one. Rough math doesn't work out either, focal point should be somewhere like 3.5m ish if the thing is like 12m in diameter and maybe 2.5m deep.

It's a radio telescope, means it can be pointed at the sky alongside the other 24 dishes, which in turn combines all of their independent sensing abilities to create one giant radio telescope, or radio telescope array as it'd be called! The things these guys would be listening to can be of extremely faint scale and having a larger surface area to pick up signals from increases the chance of receiving something, and the strength. Though the way it's portrayed in the game is far from realistic, to nobody's surprise. Somehow Alpen Signal Observatorium and Stolas have figured out how to do faster than light signal reception, a truly impressive feat!

Functionality: 4/5 Accuracy: 1/2 Realism: 2/3

Total Rating: 7/10 Pretty solidly transferred into game form, both stylization and function wise. Would probably be more boring if it were fully realistic, at least to the general audience.

Tune in tomorrow when I spend 20 bucks on signal simulator to get pictures of the dishes in that game!

you're so real for what you said about the electric railcannon in your reblog of my poll

LMAO YEAH i watched all the animations with the sounds in a clip on youtube and it had me giggling and kicking my feet

I hate AI- not you, HAL 9000, they could never make me hate your neurotic circuitry

The book was something else

biggest fumble in history…

I was on an article about 2001 and HAL's name was high-lighted... and it led to this. I think about it a lot.

i neeeeed to be tied up with wires. just constricted like im being squeezed by a python. the wires burning into my skin due to how tight they are. im twisted so tight that i cant move where im put in a position most vulnerable legs spread and i cant close them. i cant use my hands. i just have to be strung up like a pathetic thing by these electrical cables
