@Gubby you’re not alone, I saw this too and got all excited. It’s a glitch or an accident of some kind because they obviously don’t want us playing the play test right now
I’m sorry to hear you learned that lesson the hard way. Kind of ironic that you’re telling other people online not to trust anyone online lol. Seriously though, I can only imagine how terrible that would feel.
@SupremeDorian Uh I checked the Simpleplanes 2 page in the Steam application and it said the Playtest was open so I was all excited but when I clicked the "Play Now" button it popped up with a text box with this on it:
SimplePlanes 2 Playtest
An error occurred while launching this game: Missing game executable -
/Users/[my name]/Library/Application
Support/Steam/steamapps/common/SimplePlanes 2 Playtest/SimplePlanes 2.app
Is the Playtest actually open or is this a weird bug?
@ComradeSandman This will most likely be my last comment on the subject (for now... which I realize means absolutely nothing, but whatever).
I don’t see what you mean by "Outdated" (there is no newer version of beings with free will to make humans outdated or obsolete). Again, you say humans are primitive, yet there is no being on earth that has surpassed them in civility and understanding. You say they were forged by evolution, and that there is no intelligence in their design. I could not disagree more. Have you studied biology? Or chemistry? Any branch of science? Heck, even mathematics! Everywhere you look there is proof of intelligent design! There is a reason Earth is described as a goldilocks planet! The way atoms bond! How everything within a single cell works together, and how those cells form tissues, then organs, and finally a living thing (this design is not exclusive to humans, everything has intelligence behind it)! I find studying this stuff fascinating. There is a difference between being able to make a decision and being rational. You are right in the fact that animals can make decisions, however, animals are not rational. They cannot think through complex processes, comprehend abstract ideas, nor can they understand cause and effect (except in a very one dimensional way, like a dog sitting and getting a treat). You seem to be overlooking the fact that humans have schools, government, philosophy, theology, and all sorts of other studies in science mathematics, literature (created by humans!), and so on. Being rational, however, does not mean that humans always use their brains. Humans ignore things (intentionally), accidentally overlook things, or just plain don’t care enough to try and find the truth on certain matters. Your definition of faith is not correct. Humans die. This universe is temporary. Those are my final thoughts on the matter (that is, until I get bored enough to discuss again).
@Boeing727200F In the first picture for the military base section there's a few apartment-looking buildings in the background, so maybe that’s where they live
@KatBapa20 I am American. The way I have been taught is M/D/Y (which, admittedly, doesn't seem to make sense chronologically), so that’s probably what it is. @ComradeSandman I apologize for being so stupid.
@ComradeSandman fyi I was describing (and will continue to describe) humans as they are in the realm of reality, in which I am not a Gorilla (obviously), but a human (which does indeed sound weird that I am talking like this about humans... maybe just ignore that, heh).
1. What do you mean by "inherently"? They become flawed when they are born and enter this world? Or their entire existence and identity is in and of itself a flaw? Or something else? And I’m afraid I don’t know what that third sentence means.
2. Physically (excluding the human mind), I agree. If the only aspect of humanity was their physical existence, then they would be nothing more than apes just with less hair. But that is not the only facet of their existence. Humans are rational beings and have free will. Also, the very fact that we can conceptualize the idea of a soul seems to point towards humans being more than animals (are there any animals you know of that can think of abstract ideas such as faith?). In the realm of this physical universe there is no greater intellect. Humanity is alone with itself. And if I understand your use of the word "mortal" correctly, then we are all mortals. This world is mortal.
fyi I had to access it through this post which uses a web archive website thingy. Most of tully2001's comments weren't archived though, so I don’t know the actual number
I did some digging and, to my (admittedly very limited) knowledge, the only possible (note that it's not probable, but it is possible) contender for your title could be Tully2001, a former moderator. In his profile biography he claimed to have the standing record of comments (he gave a number but... I forgot it), and considering that he is a moderator he would theoretically interact with the site a lot. I have no proof one way or the other of whether he does have more comments than you (there were limitations on what comment pages I could go to), but that’s the best guess I have for this challenge (and yes, I know it was 2 weeks ago it's just... I was bored).
@ComradeSandman physically they are humans. That is undeniable. But they aren’t like the others. That’s what I’m trying to get at. Yes, things bother them, they mess up, they fail, (after all, it’s a fallen world they live in) but they aren’t devastated like the rest of the human race is when some inevitable reversal happens. As for your second point, there’s no (physical) being that is even slightly close to where humans are. There is something that’s fundamentally different about the existence of humans that no other physical being possesses (this is the most debated part of humanity, but I’ll say it anyways), humans have souls. They have abstract reasoning, complex mental processes, and a supernatural God-given soul. You may disagree, and that’s fine, but this is how I currently understand the universe.
It’s some glitch, accident, or possibly an evil and cruel prank. I don’t know why it thinks the play test is open, but it doesn’t appear to be open…
+1I’d just try to ignore it. Even though it’s so tempting to click the “Play now” button… oh so tempting… click AHHH NOOO! I clicked it…

@363636 a very cruel prank 😔
Nice.
Huh, I didn't know they even made computers that small. lol the "Electronic Warfare" tag is hilarious! Very spacecraft also.
Also, I downloaded it (it took like 3 seconds so I don’t know what it actually downloaded) and it shows the game in my library but I can't play it...

Me: Thanks!

@Graingy oh. OK then...
@Graingy I found it 100% by accident lol
+1Would its name happen to be Remmy?
Did anyone else click on the picture and watch the "I AM CHAD" video?
+1@Boeing727200F In the first picture for the military base section there's a few apartment-looking buildings in the background, so maybe that’s where they live
I am really looking forward to this game, you guys really are making a true masterpiece of a sequel to an already phenomenal sandbox game.
+1oh it says I am Chad... that makes much more sense... Cool video though!
Also, CHAD CAN FLY???
What does "I am Chao" mean?
@Graingy ;)
Aha! First!
Yay…?
I'd say Chibi P-51
+1AHA!! I’m not completely insane!!
@ComradeSandman I’m gonna climb back into my hole and ponder my life's decisions. Goodbye.
@ComradeSandman apparently not...
@KatBapa20 I am American. The way I have been taught is M/D/Y (which, admittedly, doesn't seem to make sense chronologically), so that’s probably what it is. @ComradeSandman I apologize for being so stupid.
the date on the forum title is November 12th
@ComradeSandman yes...?
Nice!
+1Wait isn't the date 12/11/25?
MINDCRAFT
I enjoy these discussions :)

oh I’m an idiot he says the number comments is 20,000+ so... about 400+ pages. I guess that’s not as close as I thought
fyi I had to access it through this post which uses a web archive website thingy. Most of tully2001's comments weren't archived though, so I don’t know the actual number
@Graingy I don’t know, it appears like they were banned. I have no idea of the actual history but I heard rumors that this mod got too ban happy

I may or may not have read it as "Gluten"... hehe... Anyways! T please!
+1@Fooooooooooo Þ
11 years ago a game of greatness was born. 🫡
@Mrcooldude why only compliment me though? Grain has written some pretty dang good short stories, I’d recommend you check ‘em out!
@Mrcooldude lol thank you. Classical education will do that to you.
Me: YEAH😆
+2My phone: 💥📱💥
And now I realize that I’m not supposed to bring religion into this site… whoops… please don’t ban me mods

@Chunkycheese I don’t have a problem with it, it's good to see people having fun :)
@Boeing727200F again, sorry if it looked like I was angry or trying to stir up a debate, that was not my intention.
