This confusion is really an artifact of the fact that we're using language developed prior to the space age (or even the manned flight age). In the interim we haven't really developed a better, more specific term for "moving toward a massive body under the influence of gravitational attraction" in common parlance. …

Well, "falling" implies that your movement is governed by the gravitational force at play. I suppose if your descent is controlled, you could argue that you aren't actually "falling," even though gravity is acting upon you. Sort of like how a plane descending to the runway is moving towards the Earth, and it is being…

Falling, by definition, is just being drawn toward another massive body by gravitation. Whatever direction gravity is pulling you is "down" regardless of your orientation.

I don't understand what the point of your comment is. Does the fact that this is done with mods somehow make it less entertaining?

I like how Eastern religions, with their focus on the cosmic scope of the universe, aren't even included here. Their beliefs already apply to the entire cosmos, so these questions were more or less settled thousands of years ago, or are simply considered irrelevant to their teachings.

I chuckled at Freddy and Jason, but I lost it when Ghostface came out the door.

He meant it in the context that if we let dumb kids just be dumb, they probably won't survive to have dumb kids of their own.

Yeah, you missed all the most impressive parts.

Zeuxis was a painter in the fifth century BC, who had been commissioned to paint a portrait of a wealthy patron as Aphrodite. When he saw the finished product, he supposedly laughed until he died.

This wasn't much of a "telling off."

Natural selection begins early. In the words of George Carlin: "Kids who eat marbles don't grow up to have kids who eat marbles."

I'm 92 hours in and they've never once asked for my input in a conversation. I didn't even know that could happen.

And then there are people like me for whom the game never made it past the first cutscene without crashing to desktop or entirely locking up my machine despite my PC more than meeting the recommended specs.
