So is this an edit with a joke I don't get, or some photo thing? I saved almost all (39) edits of the photo, so I was just asking.

It is just a thing that visualises the error rate in JPEG images. You get used to looking at it. This seems totally normal to me. Maybe a resize, sharpening filter and then posted on the net. No suspicious editing.

So what do you see? cool hu? nice! well yes.

But if this image is showing real time moons and planets moving around suns. Then it actually means allot more.

CIG will KNOW the exact time and date over all time zones as to when and where each solar eclipse like this is to take place.

So in posters and videos screens there will be announcements not to forget on such a date the great Eclipse of whatever!!

This would and should mean that creates tourism, so a ton of AI, as well as human players will need to services of tour ship operators to ferry them to these events, this in turn means rich pickings for pirates which in term means more need for security escorts.

This also would create an event for those of us with ships like the Reliant News van. Gotta record those moments in history.

So what is a very nice screen shot, is actually a whole load of stuff to do.

He's dumb enough to do it for free but he's still enthusiastically shilling for a scam. Being unpaid doesn't make it much less reprehensible. Threats aren't cool but he's earned any and all mockery coming his way.

What is the supposed handle of the person pretending to be him? Checking the most obvious variations doesn't turn up any accounts. He's probably bullshitting you.

The whole point of the restaurant at the end of the universe was to actually be there... and even then the novelty would wear out after 2 or 3 visits. Eventually I might go back for the food and just ignore the show.

It is amazing how bad Star Marine is, they give you endless grenade refills on the capture points on some of the maps, so you can just hold the points forever by chucking infinite insta-kill grenades down all the corridors which are too narrow to evade them.

And it's easier to kill people by jumping because of the massive lag attached to it, it's basically one of those cheat lag-switches that throttle your traffic built into the game.

Look, he is a shill, one of the biggest shills at the moment even, but he just does his ~*dreaming*~ and isn't part of the pitchfork brigade. He's also, despite all his assurances he'd be totally OK with that, the guy I actually worry the most when he finally has to acknowledge he's been played for a fool as a reward for his unwavering trust and loyalty. These people think we are the devil, he isn't even scared about any one single person, he's becoming convinced The Goons have now targeted him for termination. Dude is paranoid enough as it is and has big enough problems already without someone poking him on FB/YT and scaring him shitless.

There's plenty of fish to fry in this ocean, no point in picking on the victims unless they are aggressive/combatant shills.

That makes sense. If you had really good procedural generation of anomalies, you could have an endless supply of tourism destinations in space/planets. Generate a beacon along and you are set.
