I submit that such a level of population density qualifies Australia as an almost wholly urban country, given that almost its entire population concentrates themselves in a few relatively small urban areas.

Real question, because I agree but need to know how far down the rabbit hole goes: are both soft and hard tacos sandwiches? What about the ubiquitous “wrap”? Are tamales sandwiches?

The issue the OP is pointing out is that it doesn’t make economic sense for devs to “do better.” The conventions of VR have yet to crystallize in a way that makes sense for large-scale development, and the user-base doesn’t justify the kind of expense such development would require.

Anybody who hasn’t watched the various Attenborough nature documentaries (Planet Earth, Life, Frozen Planet, Blue Planet, The Life of Mammals, etc. etc.) with their original narration from Attenborough himself is missing out. It’s worth seeking out, there’s something about his voice that really brings it all…

So far as I am aware (as a pretend brainy type and wanna-be science type) the only time Earth ever really resembled an uninhabited rock like Venus was relatively soon after its birth. Consider that the Earth has suffered multiple mass extinction events, destroying vast quantities of its biosphere, and has rebounded…

On the one hand, nice Dr. Who pull. On the other, I feel like the Pandorica might be a little overkill for Trump’s orange ass.

That’s part of what makes Team Secret a particularly evil con in retrospect. Hire labor, convincing them not to ask too many questions because management isn’t management if it’s someone you know from when they were labor. That’s predatory and unscrupulous even by the standards of pro sports management.

Seriously. The notion that they would pioneer (compendiums!) and encourage the kind of prize pools they do without even the slightest movement toward protecting the labor (many of whom are minors!) isn’t surprising to me, but it is still appalling.

Yet more evidence that professional DOTA labor, and indeed esports labor in general, is in dire need of organization. The money isn’t huge, compared to other pro sports, but these are competitions and leagues with really young talent, all of whom are in desperate need of representation and collective bargaining in…

Just another example of Donald Trump driving good, reasonable people into anti-social behavior with his insanity. Sad.

Whoa now, let’s not besmirch the profound genius of The Emperor’s New Groove.

Are you postulating a Jacob’s Ladder-esque scenario in which the Pokemon anime has been an illusion conjured by Ash’s dying mind? Because that would actually make a lot of sense.

I’m sorry, but no sane person wants to play Battletoads. Contact the authorities immediately.

I use “the way God intended” in a hyperbolic/ironic context a lot (e.g. “I play video games with a mouse and keyboard, the way God intended.”). For a while I tried out “the way the universe intended,” but actually found ascribing intent to the universe more irritating then invoking a deity, even as an Atheist. It…

Jesus christ, really?

Yup, and if you’re a black kid with a BB gun, cops are apparently justified in shooting you rather than take the risk of it not being real. Fuck literally everything.

I’m not asking a non-specific “human being” to do something, I’m not even asking myself to do something, I’m asking a police officer to do something. Do crowds of colleagues and people attend the funerals of just any “human being”? Do they salute, and declare that person a hero simply for having a particular…

People sign up to get flown to Iraq and get shot at, mostly for less money, why would we expect that there would be no takers for the job in their home country?

Yeah, I get the sense that they’re a cool change of pace, sometimes with a fun twist and new occurrence, but the time-limited aspect is really the thing that sets these apart from random side missions. None of which is a bad thing, from what I’ve seen. Judging by everything else I’ve heard people saying, there’s…

I really wish I could say that not providing a wholly relatable faction was a reflection of the grimness of life in the wasteland, but I feel that might be giving Fallout 4 too much credit.
