It's always a nice, sunny day in Baldur's Gate 3. The only time the moon comes out is when you long rest. For a game in which the moon goddesses can be an immense factor, kind of weird. The first two at least ran a day-night cycle even if they weren't counting days.
not being an avid CRPG player, this really confused me with BG3.
in a TTRPG, if your GM makes a big deal about immanent catastrophe, you don’t go on side quests

games almost never manage the illusion of time well, in fairness, see Baldur's Gate 3.

Reminds me of ancient reports out of Gitmo that heavily armored personnel would run in to a cell, grab an inmate, haul him bodily where they wanted him to go, and then go "huah!" and chest bump each other afterwards.

Heck, the kids didn't understand THAC0 back in the day, either.
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

Haven’t seen video yet. But it’s like every time. They weaponized their vehicle. We had to shoot them. Again and again long before Minneapolis. katu.com/news/local/i...

Time was, you had to coerce your Secretary of Defense to perjure himself before Congress and the UN before you could give yourself the gift of bombing a foreign capital and hunting down a foreign head of state.

And there is no definition of "fish" that includes all fish and excludes all non-fish, so yeah, even if whales were, like, invertebrates they would be fish
this is obviously a little silly but it's not meaningless - if you look at non-fish like worms or spiders I think you will agree that anatomically we have more in common with fish than we do with any of them

There are bird-hipped dinosaurs and lizard-hipped dinosaurs. Birds are lizard-hippers. (Except maybe they're bird-hippers after all, maybe.)
another bit of taxonomy pedantry that I love is the fact that apes (and therefore humans) are a type of monkey

I have seen Segways in exactly two places since 2001.
I saw a Segway tour in a seaside town in Florida.
And Adam Savage had one in a couple episodes of Mythbusters.

This is 100% true. A guy paid a million dollars JUST to write the first book about it. Techbros were absolutely convinced it was world-changing.
Younger people who didn't witness it cannot fathom the hype around the Segway. Every news station agreed it would revolutionize the entire social fabric of the Earth. That all future humans would divide history between the savage days of the past, and the soon to be new era of zoom zoom scoot scoot.

And then France seized it at the end of World War 1, after wrapping the statue for Alsace on the Place de la Concorde in black mourning for 40 years. Has anyone asked the Alsatians their opinion?
In THE HOLOCAUST IS OVER, WE MUST RISE FROM ITS ASHES, Avraham Burg describes introducing his French wife to his Holocaust survivor father, who--when he learns that she was born in Strasbourg--angrily turns to his son and says "That's not France, that's Germany! Bismarck got it back for us!"
also a classic instance of how propaganda works. the most embedded stuff is the stuff you are taught when you are a small child as 'geographical facts', in the same way that even anti-CCP PRC citizens can sometimes turn into rabid nationalists about South China Sea rocks

The cows, one presumes, are self-generating in a manner contrary to the customary one.
Richard wrote one of my favorite books, Celestial Matters, a science fiction novel based on the extrapolated principles of Ancient Greek science, including self-generating cows.
Most of what I write is hard to classify. It's gotten even more frustrating since people are often asking for comparable books. But I usually try to write in relatively empty spaces with zero to just a few even remotely similar works.
