It's amazing what one orbit around the planet would do to change some people's worldviews. Conversely, if you could just show others the edge of this flat planet, their worldview would change.

1. Quadcopters. Not sure why Descent players are so rare in this hobby. It's incredibly accessible if you just want to fly, and incredibly rewarding as well, even more so if you're also into building and customization. You can get into FPV flight for 300 bucks with an RTF Tiny Whoop kit. With a litt...

I think the reflexive reactions are kind of un-called for. Why not humor him and who knows? Maybe learn something. You never know.
I for one hope you DO crack gravity once and for all. I wouldn't mind flying an actual RL pyro and getting my space wings. Try to avoid the whole ai revolt thing tho.
