The actors look way too old for their parts. One of the things that make the series somewhat more believable is the sense that the characters are young people, likely teenagers, thrust into a this situation and their idealistic nature essentially makes the bleak world they are much more terrifying. It also excuses…

It’s a pretty depressing story if you stop and think about it, like on all levels. Not to get too academic here, but it is about how terrible the job market is for low skill people. You have a guy that stays at this job that is literally trying to kill him for days, in every version of the game. And you have these…

What are you talking about "slim pickings". While, yes, land is finite, the argument that Scientology has to be aggressive and deceptive to catch up to the older religious is ridiculous. For crying out loud, Scientologists celebrate the day the organization won tax exempt status as a religious holiday!

It's not ridiculed because its new, it's ridiculed because it is (a) ridiculous and (b) extremely damaging and deceptive. There are a ton of new religious movements, Raelians, Rastafarianism, even Jedi, and while we might ridicule their eccentricities, none of them compare to Scientology because of its deceptive…

It's presumptuous to assume that life is rare, and that planets are always going to be the go to source. It is also possible that moons of various planets could be where life originates, especially with gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn having their own mini solar systems.

It should also be noted that a solar system might have different habitable zones depending on circumstances, and only one likely includes the sun as the primary source of the energy to keep water in a liquid state.

I'm not so sure they will have a receptive audience at airports. One of the basic appeals of driving your own car is a greater degree of autonomy over public transit: you can leave when you want to, and, outside of traffic, reach your destination when you want, and maybe take a detour on the way. Planes and airports…

The feasibility of flying cars has never been the problem. That was just a technical hurdle that we knew eventually we were going to over come. The biggest hurdles has always been the practicality of a such a vehicle.

It's not really practical to eat the entire sun, but eat some of it is pretty easy, and you do so more or less all the time already.

Did MewTwo not understand how to use his powers? He seemed pretty confident in his abilities to me. In hindsight Ash turning to stone was pretty forced, at least in Frozen in it was connected to the overall plot, there wasn't anything in the movie to suggest petrifaction was a possible outcome of Mew and Mewtwo's…

I don't see the value of making something unnecessarily complicated. The point of innovation should be to make things more efficient not more byzantine just because you can.

FF13-2 and Lightning Returns ruined the universe for me. I liked the ending of 13 just as stand alone. They saved the world. Job done. The story was basically the gods are horrible and use people as pawns, a bunch of strangers just randomly assembled by nothing but happenstance, and being in the wrong place at the…

I'm likely in the minority, but I honestly didn't mind the XIII trilogy. I actually preferred XIII than the other two. It was explicitly more linear, but all FF games are inherently linear games with very rigid customization, and XIII was just pretty clear about that. But that is in the past now.

That's not the case. The goddess Etro still plays a role in this game, and her role is similar in that she ripped herself apart and created humans or souls or whatever, and is related to chaos and death.

I don't know if I would consider free speech arguments the best example of Loki's Wager, because it's very easy and clear how to determine what is or is not free speech. We have a system in place to decide where the neck ends and the head starts when it comes to the 1st Amendment, and that is the judicial system, and…

I think people are looking at this the wrong way, rather than dropping Sailor Scouts we should be adding them. All the IAU did was give an actual definition to what constitutes a planet, and creating the new dwarf planet classification. Dwarf planets are still cosmic bodies, and many of them have actual interesting…

So true, like I know it's nonsense but I kinda want to just see a little bit of it, like turning your head on the interstate to watch an accident, but I'm so nervous about them getting any bit of my contact information.

Thanks for explaining it. That makes a lot of sense. Would they still be able to make individual simulation blocks adjacent to one another?

The game itself is built in such a way that bigger cities just aren't a possibility. Even the modders who worked on it bumped into the wall. Maxis/EA was just dedicated to the smaller cities to it's literally baked into the pie, it was all suppose some foolish collaborative thingie.

In the wake of Simcity and the bad reception it had both Cities: Skylines and now Cities XXL seems to be focussing on the size, which just goes to show how off base Maxis/EA was in developing the game.
