My goal with this channel has been to inspire others to have fun with the process of learning by showing how much fun I have with Games, particularly games with physics simulations. As I open up more time in my schedule and gain more experience in editing, I may throw my hat into the critical analysis arena... Which games are worth playing, and why? What do you want out of your gaming sessions?
"The unexamined life is not worth living" -Socrates
"Through play we learn, so don't forget to play every day"- Socraticat
In that light may I recommend a healthy dose of reality-based physics simulation games? No need to be a mathematician, basic logic works OK, and trial and error is just another way to say scientific method. My favorite is JUNO. I'm salty about KSP. BeamNG is a fun ride. Stay away from KSP2, watch videos instead.

BeamNG.drive - CAREER UPDATE! Also, I'm sad about TDU3... and now I'm moving on.
This is a career mode worth returning to! Want a car? Earn it, and take care of it, or it will cost you! You want something for nothing? That's FreeRoam. This career here is for serious laborers and valets only- There's things to be done, and they aren't going to do themselves!
Not only is this game great for teaching consequences of risky driving, but it also features a career mode with missions other than racing. Fancy a parking competition? Perhaps you're more into travelling with a fifth-wheel, or maybe you want to deliver some aggregate on top of your Wendover... You won't get there if you're always workin' delivery for "Turbo Burger". Maybe you will. Who knows... Persistence can lead to some amazing things!
Except for the persistence of waiting for TDU3... What a mess. It's not for me. It's just another racing game now. I can't even try arguing for hope that it will ever be a shadow of what it once was on Oahu. The younger generations of gamers deserve better than what's being offered... Vote with your wallets kids... if you gotta have it, wait for this one on a deep sale... if you absolutely have to have it.
BeamNG offers so much replayability at a lesser price, and far more features. If you like the arcade vibe, Motorfest has a beautiful map of Oahu that satisfies my desire to be near the ever famous "humahumanukanukaapua" fish that's nowhere to be seen in the game, which nearly makes it unplayable were it not for the substitutes of motorbikes and planes... But I will 100% endorse BeamNG as a substitute, simply because it has mission diversity and very compelling physics.
Even if you do enjoy Solar Crown, more power to you. I would like to see it turn around. Maybe they will add some new content down the line. It does LOOK pretty.
Anyways, if you're this deep in the details, go ahead and give a Like and a Subscribe. Hit me up with a comment- I love hearing TDU nostalgia or learning how to do something neat in BeamNG. If you crave more of my content, go check out what I've been up to in JUNO: New Origins.

JUNO: Advanced Axle Testing/ Crawlers and Trophy Trucks
Переглядів 409Місяць тому
I want more realistic suspension in my space games! So I tried making some in JUNO :) I'm constantly amazed by how much detail the designer in JUNO allows. Instead of aiming for the stars I've just been aiming at testing limits of mechanical designs in this game. I know I'm not the only one that likes playing this way, so here's my experience testing out some suspension linkage I found on an RC...
Solid Axle and Drivetrain Mock-up on Radius Arm Suspension

You can add a center axle on a symmetrical rover! I've always wondered how I could make my JUNO Off-Road Suspension even more realistic by adding a center axle to this cool truck I made. It's inspired by Trophy Truck design, but up til now it's always been lacking the rear axle that helps the rear suspension work together. The verdict is still out on whether or not this gets the shocks to act a...

It’s okay is you don’t want to
Can i like be in a community tab
But it’s okay
I'm not gone, just reorganizing. I've upgraded and am testing stability. Also trying to get into some VFX for my videos, which is taking some time.
I was wondering also why your no more playing Juno new origins
You post now late
Hi
Not a fan of the glasses but otherwise you got some decent content here, i put 10 hours into the career update so far, excited for it to be finished
Hey bro remember me jack
@hsquare916 Of course! I hope you are in good health! Glad to see you stick around. What would you like to see more of on my channel?
@@socraticat I was wondering what happened to the live streams
Dude, your part about making those connected assemblies is amazing I gotta try that out
Wow! Loved the editing and the incorporation of real life inspiration!
@herbertpocket8855 Thank you! I mostly wanted to practice with green screen, but it really emphasizes the observation portion of the scientific method. I also hope it encourages viewers that they don't have to reinvent the wheel- "Choice Paralysis" is a complaint I sometimes hear about JUNO. I totally get it, so I threw in where my inspirations came from.
There is no panhard rod on the radius arm, and the front suspension is locked up. I’d suggest revising it because it’s not behaving as it should
@plane9182 I'm gonna have a word with the person that designed this thing... probably lied on their resume about their qualifications.
Love the guy on the back. Agree with previous comments he does look suspicious.
@@KrisKenn OK, now I'm curious about what y'all are suspicious about, lol. Bro's in the rodeo!
I wanted to know about these a bit in detail, how it works and what may go wrong while making it
@sharmarahul384 When a part is in the water it can go about as fast as you can make it go with the resistance of water. When a part exits water while moving laterally there seems to be no penalty. When a part enters the water while moving laterally there's sometimes a penalty, and a rather harsh one. Some parts are stronger than others and seem to have a higher tolerance. I'll keep your inquiries in mind next time I upload a build vid.
@@socraticat thanks
I don’t trust the fixed landing gear following, “The Incident”
@AmateurAstronomer09 the small landing gear is a proven source of KSP trauma
Very cool love the music
Enjoying the career rn, though it's definitively a dificult career considering my driving skills & buildinf skills. Have to improve somehow tho
@Zirkorn there's currently some difficulty scaling I know I need to do, but most of it is in the DSC and Luna Races. First few rounds of a race are supposed to be "doable" for anyone giving effort. Round 5 is supposed to be the pinnacle time to beat. Enjoy!
Tough lil buggy. Nice
lovely career, the game could use some mmore base careers tbf
Y’all got me into subnautica and to this day it’s probably one of my favorite games. In this game are you able to upgrade vehicles or customize them? I had to edit this because I just watched one of your earlier videos and it answered my questions.
hey bro I’m the creator of jacknjellyfyyyy I got hacked so please remember me
I love how the game looks when you're going on the ground that fast, 1/3rd the speed of sound. I love this game so much
Smokin!!!! Nice run. 👍
Thanks again for making the Juno videos. Used to play ksp2. But find this one more of a challenge. Learn something new all the time. Wasn't sure what parallax was but wow what a difference. Thanks for showing that.
Your tips got me those dank tech points
LESSGOOOOO
these rescue missions sure look interesting, gotta get to that point in career yet hahaha
You can get pretty creative in late career.
Great video bud. Always looking for inspiration. Appreciate you all really. 👍
Glad to have inspired the Cheeto!
@@socraticat Thnx. Just uploaded some inspiration (craft) to the server myself.
You got a new subscriber :)
That info panel tips is incredible no need to try over and over again
AWWWWW YEAH! We rolling fast now
Hellooooo, I was curious on whenever you've gotten the speed record marks on space, i don't recall very well what they were but i believe it's about going like a few thousand km per second or something like that
Yeah, those are some pretty high speeds. I don't think I've maxxed it out yet, so I guess that means I better look into it. After all, I need more tech points if my space station is to have all the bells and whistles.
Nice part on the record scratch. I think Juno d Has gotten a bad rap. I mean kerbal is definitely established but it's still nice to have a selection.
JUNO even has a whole new set of challenges like total customization, super rad rovers, AND programming.
Bro this Is awesome, i love how you did the controlling control with vizzy, its actually very clever & a great showcase of how useful vizzy Is along with your build. Good job Bro.
This is a little personal request, but I have never figured out how to do the contract “Fast Roller”. Can you demonstrate a way do to that one?
I would be honored. ETA maybe 1 week.
Thanks! I have only unlocked the starting pad and runway, so other than putting rocket boosters on a car I am not sure how do get that going. Current threshold is 200m/s. Getting it down the runway isn’t working for me, not long enough. I also tried an off roader with big wings for downforce but the drag was too much
So the final "fast roller" contract is for 111 m/s, and I've got some footage and notes ready in the editor for that much... Next is Droo milestones, with IV at 340m/s and V at 1km/s. I can hit 900m/s at Ali Base; 1k may be possible there, but I'll definitely get it at DSC. I'll go ahead and spoil it for you and say I did it with a little griffin and afterburners.
Hmmm... 4 days ago. Short week. ua-cam.com/video/ik13P4lAlV0/v-deo.htmlsi=cssQmjkiI6_3YcEG
I was gonna say "i do this all the time" but my max is probably mixing sat missions with flybys and landings lol
awesome
Space Odyssey reference? Tycho monolith?
That's a hilarious first death lol
This video is fire
I’ve played this before it’s very hard lol
Thank you for making what seems to be the only video on this 😭
You're welcome! It's a neat story, usually hyped up by the locals, and way richer in content than I could put together in this format. I'm glad you enjoyed what was present! If you like those stories, the mentioned book at the end is full of way too much detail on these subjects.
Love the pass through between the rocks Very cool 😀 Very smooth landing too 👍
Taurus. hellll yeahhh
I'm having trouble with this one too.
Here's how I ended up finishing this one: ua-cam.com/video/IhhdD6EB4uo/v-deo.html
