bits of spaceships and machinery. 2025 mostly Cocoiro ZIG pen on paper. color in photoshop.

jesse. we have to read 2001 aso jesse.

she’s right

hi objectophiles I found a polish game on steam called awaria which is a mildly suggestive game about doing maintenance in haunted maintenance tunnels. if i end up playing it I will never shut up <3

HAPPY [INSERT RANDOM HOLIDAY OF THANKS]. I AM GRATEFUL FOR MY FRIENDS AND VARIOUS FICTIONAL/REAL SPACECRAFTS !!

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.

Finding out a bit more about objectum/techtum since discovering i am, in fact, objectum/techtum.

And in my research I found this lovely video that deserves more views! It's short, to the point, very informative, and has adorable art being made in the background! It deserves so many more views guys!

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!
