its worth noting here that until about 1980 or so, the modern clinical term "arrested psychological development" was not in use because they older clinical term "retarded psychological development" was still being used. it was only after the term "retarded" had become stigmatized that the psychological/psychiatric community developed the term "arrested psychological development" as a substitute.

when you try to go back on earth it gimbal locks and the earth disappears or you get a failure because you are stranded too far away.

RedShell was added after TakeTwo bought the game, and removed shortly after when customers raised a stink. That was like 5 or 6 years ago, so no it's not spyware. They made a news post about it on Steam when they removed it, if you want to go dig it up.
It does still use Unity Analytics to report anonymized in-game data and computer ID, but that's normal stuff for most games these days, and you can opt out if you prefer.

As the other anon said, you can just run the game from the .exe in it's folder,
KSP has always been DRM free. You can just copy the entire game folder and have multiple installs if you want. Very useful for maintaining different mod sets if you want to go back and forth between say RP-1 and stock KSP.

Don't worry, it uses a very simplified assembly language with only 19 instructions. The simplest warriors only use a few of them, so you don't even need to learn everything to start playing.
Once you get good you can make more complex warriors that scan for opponents, lay traps, self-replicate, spawn minion programs and so on.

Not really possible to do I think. They should've implemented rigid body physics so wonky rockets never happened. KSP should of been KSP1 but you make rockets 100km long. That's never gonna happen due to hardware limitations.

Has poor missile AI, so you cant make them very accurate. Flak modules don't work due to a bug that causes shrapnel to get deleted to quick to be useful. Nukes and lasers have a cap on their ability to vaporize so they aren't very good. And all turreted weapons have a hard coded "wobble" so they have appalling accuracy at ranges beyond 200km. Oh and remote control masses are hard coded so you can't make guided projectiles smaller than the 10kg range.

Beyond that and a few other things, its quite nice. Gets you thinking about material properties. Just a shame the game's abandoned and was only developed by 1 guy.

Build robust platforms, create media, convert millions, win everything.

Building robust platforms is a TECHNICAL problem. Effective media creation is an artistic problem. Converting millions is done via said media, and with millions of fanatical White men everything is possible, including a White army or a religious revival, depending on the contingent facts of future history.

It's more productive to undermine faith in the pig system than anything else. Convince everyone you can not to join the military, not to support kike initiatives like the mRNA shots, climate change, tranny psychosis and SJW show trials of thought criminals. Point out all their lies and how life gets worse the more we kowtow to niggers and faggots (if not in those words).

And hammer home that the stolen election means the entire government is illegitimate and deserves no cooperation, respect or support.
