I have put in about 300 skydives back in the day-it was a hassle getting to the dropzone and the weather aint the best here for it but OTOH it is way more fun than people think it is.

My networked engine, MECS, is six years old. The thinking behind it is twenty-three. The origin story: peer-to-peer lockstep RTS netcode in 2003, the Dropzone ECS engine, an educational MMO, and the 2020 thesis that became MECS. stuartjeff.com/writing/six-y…

I went to Nizamuddin station by car, after time entry due to heavy rush of autos parked everywhere it took a lot of। time to reach dropzone and it took a lot of time to exit thanks to autos. Got delayed, paid 200 bucks extra for congestion and not my delay. Someone made।money

It's actually not. The overall fatality rate for skydiving is 0.46 in 100,000 For tandem skydiving which most people would do, it is 0.35 in 1,000,000 To put that in perspective, you are significantly more likely to die in a car accident on your way to the dropzone.

As a skydiver myself, I do want to add that skydiving is an INCREDIBLY safe activity, and I would hate for this accident to put anyone off trying it The overall fatality rate for skydiving is 0.46 in 100,000 For tandem skydiving which most people would do, it is 0.35 in 1,000,000 To put that in perspective, you are significantly more likely to die in a fatal car accident on the way to the dropzone, than you are skydiving The chance of two very safe activities, flying and skydiving, to result in casualties like this is so astronomically low.

Tragic. Rest in peace, and my condolences to the family and friends 🙏 As a skydiver myself, I do want to add that skydiving is an INCREDIBLY safe activity, and I would hate for this accident to put anyone off trying it The overall fatality rate for skydiving is 0.46 in 100,000 For tandem skydiving which most people would do, it is 0.35 in 1,000,000 To put that in perspective, you are significantly more likely to die in a fatal car accident on the way to the dropzone, than you are skydiving The chance of two very safe activities, flying and skydiving, to result in casualties like this is so astronomically low.

For your reassurance, skydiving is INCREDIBLY safe. The fatality rate for skydivers on a whole is 0.46 in 100,000. The rate for tandem skydivers specifically, is 0.35 per 1,000,000. You're significantly more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the dropzone.

DROPZONE for the Commodore 64 (U.S. Gold/1984). Originally developed for the Atari 8-bit computers, it's a high quality Defender-like shooter created by the late Archer Maclean, who did the C64 port himself. Also available on other systems and also found on Jimmy White's 2: Cueball (PC, PS2 and Dreamcast). #C64Reposts

Fun story time: how I met Archer. I was at an arcade meetup some decades ago. While playing Defender (poorly) a bloke wandered up to watch. I hit the game over, turned and said to him 'honestly I always preferred Dropzone on the Atari'. It was only later in the evening that we were introduced. I still cringe thinking about this. He was a true gent, and you should have seen the home arcade he built.

I think the Atari 400/800 Dropzone is probably the best version. I played it a heck of a lot on the C64 and, yeah, I reckon Archer Maclean did the best Defender game out there. 👍 youtube.com/watch?v=nimAaGe3…

I would like to see apex back on top and ranked is the only thing thats stopping that from happening. Imagine if there was the ranked dropzone along with season 13 system in play how much more different the game would be played. Right now its a whole ape fest.
