Guided by the Stars — A Journey Through Historical Navigation Methods

A brief #history of #celestial #navigation long before the #discovery of the #magnetic #compass

Just acquired a beautiful Northstar Advantage. The keyboard mostly works, but I'll still do a foam-and-foil replacement on it. The 15Mb hard drive is full of software, and it came with 4 boxes of disks, manuals, and a dot-matrix printer (not shown). This will keep me busy for the winter, and will make an excellent companion to my Northstar Horizons :) #retrocomputing #northstar #8bit #cpm #retro

North Star.

Un run'n'gun très chouette mais, comme d'hab, incroyablement difficile: un saut mal négocier vers un ennemi ou le vide et c'est foutu. Sur l'image, on voit ce que je prenais pour des gâteaux apéritifs de Belin.

Il s'agit aussi d'un des 2 seuls jeux auquel j'ai fait jouer ma mère (sans succès).

A while back I started playing #Titanfall2 as most of the official servers started getting buggy, but the game lives on supported by some fans running a new server and mod called #Northstar. What makes this game fun is the "titans"--big mech suits that you can deploy during the match, forcing you to play at the quick and nimble pace of the pilots as well as the slower but more powerful pace of the titans. It's good stuff!
