>so many games about discovering the mysteries of space
>meanwhile there are hardly any games about discovering the ocean, even though not even half of the entire ocean has been discovered.

>>716103315 (OP)
there is plenty of both

>>716103315 (OP)
Unfortunately, the sea wasn't part of Cold War propaganda, so it doesn't get the shilling that lame ass space does.

There's a lot more undiscovered space than there is undiscovered ocean
There's even undiscovered ocean in space

Didn't nasa used to research the ocean but decided to shift their attention to space cuz they found something unsettling?

>>716103315 (OP)
>not even half

The only spots we have yet to explore are the deepest parts of the abyssal zone in select regions in the deepest inset parts of the stretches of ocean that do not actually interact with the continental shelves, and even then, shit is already mapped out. We have the entire bottom of the ocean mapped out already. Why do you think we're going to make some huge ass amazing discoveries there when we're still actively finding historically massive dig sites in the fucking Amazon of all places? We haven't even finished exploring the surface of the planet.

This one is pure kino
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1648760/subROV__Underwater_Discoveries/

there is a giant plug at the bottom of the ocean that when pulled all of the water in the world goes down a giant drain. that's why they want to keep the depths of the ocean secret.

>>716106135
no they still research the ocean a bit. it's mainly used in that it's satellites are used fr charting ocean storms and the rest is done by marine biologists

I stepped on a jellyfish once with my barefoot that shit hurts so much

>>716106386
good. the more idiots who learned about that would just say it's fake and pull it, thus dooming humanity.

So what kind of ocean games you want to see?

>The last time i bumped and gave actual games in a sea-themed thread it got hijacked by touhou fans... maybe this time it will be different

No good aquaman game will ever exist, feels bad man

you'll get siren and like it

>>716106241
>mapped out
Yeah we technically mapped out far beyond the solar system too
It's about what's actually there retard, not just the geography

The ocean is only a couple of miles deep. It's really not that much.

>>716106762
You don't even understand how the ocean is even mapped out in the first place, compared to how we map out the Amazon, compared to how we map out space, you uneducated troglodyte.

>>716103315 (OP)
buuuuuuut what if we found the cure to cancer down there, just like the rainforest?

>>716106567
I want to see a tower defense game where you try to explore the depths and shoot down all sorts of asshole sharks and shoggoths.

What you know as UFOs actually come from a facility under the water. You can (or could) use fitbit heat tracking to map out all manner of sea floor facilities, hidden/buried facilities in Antarctica that extended into the sea floor, etc.

>>716106875

Only female angler fish have the lure.

The males are tiny and the female absorbs them into her to use for a steady supply of sperm.

I think we currently don't even have a method of putting people as deep as possible in the ocean while we can put people in spess

How about a siren game?

>>716107126

Seems legit.

>>716107010
Sounds great. Tower defense in the way of factorio or bloons. Elaborate. Sounds like a cool idea

>>716107152

You ever watch Star Trek TNG?

Picard talks about wanting to explore the deep sea on earth but the technology isn't advanced enough to sustain the pressure yet even that far in the future.

>>716107207
>>716106672
so are these two different games named the same thing? because the devs for both seem different

>>716107359
Which doesn't make much sense considering how bullshit ST tech is but still

Endless Ocean?

I think I lost my old Subnautica save. Played it in VR on Windows, loved it, but never finished it.

Now that WiVRn seems so much less clunky than ALVR on Linux, I'm gonna start it over with a better headset, a better computer, and a better OS.

I stand corrected, the project was raising a portion of the sea floor to create a new sub continent without putting stress on the tectonic plates.

It was a very brief throw away conversation Picard had after his experience with the Borg in season 4.

Yeah they're two different games. Only one has a Steam page. I don't think either can trademark because it's a common, folklore term but I'm not 100%.

Water is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless liquid that is essential for all known forms of life. It is composed of two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to one oxygen atom, giving it the chemical formula H2O. Here are some key points about water:
Properties of Water

Physical State: Water exists in three states: liquid, solid (ice), and gas (water vapor).
Polarity: Water is a polar molecule, meaning it has a partial positive charge on one side (hydrogens) and a partial negative charge on the other (oxygen). This polarity allows water to form hydrogen bonds, which contribute to its unique properties.
Solvent: Water is often referred to as the "universal solvent" because it can dissolve many substances, making it crucial for biological processes.

Importance of Water

Biological Functions: Water is vital for hydration, nutrient transport, temperature regulation, and chemical reactions in living organisms.
Environmental Role: Water is a key component of ecosystems, influencing climate, weather patterns, and the distribution of organisms.

Water Cycle

Water continuously cycles through the environment via processes such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff, maintaining the balance of ecosystems.

Overall, water is fundamental to life on Earth and plays a critical role in various physical, chemical, and biological processes.

>>716107343
I kind of got it in my mind where you mine shit from underwater, make infrastructure to send it to the surface and exchange it for dudes in diving suits and other stuff so you can go deeper and have to ward off meaner things. I'd rather not make it an RTS and instead concentrate on supporting your troops (Human life is cheap) with static infrastructure while you try to keep everything running and maintaining the base.

>>716108172
something like majesty but under sea?

>>716107678
protect yuyus at all costs

>>716107809
All the oldfags who remember deepsea threads are either dead or gone.

Also some other game eventually took the Pressure title and it has nothing to do with the ocean.

Antarctica is also mostly officially unexplored but that's because you will be turned away at gunpoint if you try to approach without permission and even then you are restricted to a very, very small controlled area.

the ocean is like that friend you have known since childhood and you feel you are close, but in reality he has several secrets behind his back, most of them harmless, but one or the other can attract your attention, alarm you or even scare you, and that is why he prefers to keep them hidden, even if it means taking them to the grave, after all sometimes it is better to live being ignorant than knowing the raw truth and not being able to sleep well for the rest of your life, who knows the things that lurk in the dark and the only reason why they do not come to the surface is because they do not know it or it is dangerous for them.

>>716107126
Fun fact! There is an estimated $1.2 trillion dollars worth of total sunken treasure on the entire ocean floor (between gold, jewelry, and extremely valuable historical artifacts from numerous shipwrecks). If you could reach the bottom of the ocean and comb it, you could literally become the richest man in the world overnight!

You can just take it to the surface slowly you know
Kinda like climbing a mountain

>>716111494
That's not how it works. The pressure of the deep ocean keeps their body together, without it they will turn to mush. Same as how you can't just slowly dive down to the bottom of the sea.

These aren't about deep sea creatures in particular, but if you want a book about the ocean in general.
'The Sea Around Us' by Rachel Carson.

i have masturbated to the angler fish mating strategy, and am not ashamed to admit it.

>>716112676
Its a 2d coop/solo game focused on doing missions, exploring, and overall keeping a submarine on the deep sea of the moon Europa. Overall a great game and has a ton of mods so everything is tweakable. Most of the fun comes from fighting the sealife both inside and outside the sub. You have some missions where going out of the sub is mandatory. Also its playable with bots so you can do those too on solo.
>i didnt get a nice screenshot. Prefer to see a video :(

>>716113247
How's the solo play then, or how is it with randoms? I got no frens or a regular schedule

>>716112676
it's a dumbed down side scrolling SS13 in a submarine, so pretty cool.

I loved being the medic and shooting lethal doses of fent at my friends with the syringe gun, but it's been multiple years and a gorillion updates since I last played so I don't know if you can still do that.

>>716113281
Dont worry, offline its very very fun too. You can play solo and set tasks to the "crewbots" and even "take control" of themselves. So if a bot is doing something wrong just play them and do it. With randoms its usually very awkward but its mostly luck, i have played with great crews too so its a gamble!
I have a campaign run on solo and even with more enemies mods the game runs very very sweetly too. So dont fear to add mods

Tired of this fucking myth, the entire ocean has been depth mapped by satellites.
We already know what it looks like, just not in high resolution, which takes tons of money for very little return since it doesn't reveal any mineral deposits.
For all the 710,000 square kilometers searched for mh370, we only found 3 geological formations cool enough to visit with a sub.

The ocean is way too scary and spooky. Space horrors are so big and detached form the human experience, they're just not scary at all.

they don't want normies to pay attention to the ocean because they have big plans for underwater mining and various profit driven sea rape

>>716120751
that's backwards, ocean horrors are either a giant monster bodying your relatively fragile submarine instantly or a gang of asshole fish
space horrors is some unknown horror that could be literally anything infiltrating your ship. Maybe it shapeshifts or is a ruthless hunter or rapidly evolves or anything you cant be sure.
if your submarine is infiltrated by a fish in the ocean you're probably just fucking sinking

Near equivalent gravity, pressure and even sunlight up in the clouds. You just need to withstand the winds and acid, the colony 'airship' is buoyant due to breathable air acting like helium there.
Then just send down probes/extraction teams on cables drg style to harvest the semi molten surface for precious minerals.

yes, whatever is cheap/easy is usually considered peasant food, it changes with the times

fish was peasant food because anyone could just waddle over to the river and get it, no agriculture required. nowadays "fresh caught" or "wild caught" fish is often considered more of a delicacy or at least a selling point.
white bread also used to be only for the rich before the industrial revolution

Making a system where a submersible or ship can go under the water line and not clip through water is incredibly hard, especially if the ship/sub has a separate sinking/flooding system.
Every time I've tried to make this, I've failed, and if I can't do it, then I won't even attempt going further.
Barotrauma did it fine by making the entire level flooded, but that's not what I want. Subnautica kind of half does it, but it's also prone to issues (when sinking or diving)

Mars is fucked because of too little geological activity and therefore almost no atmosphere, Venus is fucked by too much geological activity and a hyper thick ultra deadly atmosphere, most people say Venus would actually be harder because of this since it's harder to calm down the 500 super volcanos than restart Mars core with a super laser or a gajillion nuclear bombs.
I say what if we just take Venus's excess atmosphere and move it to Mars then we have 2 good planets!

Mars is a turning point for space colonization, it's not an endgame onmy a stepping stone. It's a ground for experimentation and development on the terrain facing real problematics simulations on Earth cannot provide.
I'm in favor of colonizing the moon first, it would make Mars missions more likely to succeed having gained first hand experience. Going step by step instead of rushing and burning down billions once you fail.

To counter your point, I would argue that every time it did work they were warned that it was pretty much up to random chance if it would implode or not and that they just got lucky that particular time.

It's like buying a ladder only rated for 180 pounds and then sending multiple 300 pound linemen up and down that same ladder. Sure the ladder can probably handle that a few times - because typically rated equipment is built to withstand much more than what they're rated for - but the metal is going to fatigue each time. And eventually some poor bastard is gonna discover the failure point the hard way.

No, it would still expand. Pressure is a violent entity. There is no fighting it, only firm resistance or slow acclimation. It's why divers go down either in sealed hardsuits or spend hours, potentially days, degassing during their ascents. If you wanted to bring a blobfish up, the best way would be to trap it at depth in a pressurized container and slowly depressurise it over time so it can adapt to lower pressures.

Learned something new today. That's cool, thanks bro. I always thought space's vacuum would implode you quicker

>>716103315 (OP)
never ever

>>716176694
Vacuum doesn't implode you, there's no pressure. Because of that, you basically get super-bends because everything expands and boats up. Since we're not super saggy like fish, it wouldn't be as bad as a blobfish. The no oxygen and coldness mean you could technically survive, like 20 seconds tops in space, but you'd get permanent brain damage since you'd go unconscious and having deoxygenated blood flow through and fuck it up. That's the other part of what would kill you fast- no oxygen, combined with the no pressure.

The first fish and bugs aren't related thoughbeit. Haikouichthys and buggers diverged evolutionarily around when the Bilaterals evolved.
