I would argue that "worst case" is running out of money, failing to deliver on most promises, getting destroyed by Skadden, or all three. An assistant-to-the-senior-executive-assistant, alongside the other administrative positions advertised for, seems a little out of place considering CIG's numerou...

Dare I hope that X4 will be amazing? Do not. X-Rebirth was supposed to be it already. Egosoft repeats itself -- just like history. You can imagine what that means. Well, no Rebirth wasn't supposed to be it, unless my memory is failing me. I don't think they ever really tried to advertise Rebirth as...

Dare I hope that X4 will be amazing?

I'm glad that in your opinion action came third; I'd read a lot that STD seems to be more like Abrams Star Trek than the earlier series, and although that's not a bad thing in itself, it's not really what I'm looking for in Trek. The single character thing is definitely different, since the previous...

A reprocessed image taken by Voyager 1 in 1979:

From the sublime to the ridiculous, but I think they used this picture on the cover of Banks's The Algebraist

French, Italian, and German.

-The French speak English (though with a really bad accent) but don't like to do so
-Italian: no idea
-Germans: learn English just like we do

That had been my impression as well

But all the natives speak English and none of the signs have actual text beyond names and the word 'STOP'. Stardust recalls many people in Europe not speaking English while she was there. I'm simply putting the UK forward because English is their primary language, and it's the primary language of t...

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles

He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich

I'm certainly not 17. The sim I made is just a more polished/advanced version of something I made when I was seventeen, a decade ago.

So what you're saying is you're basically 17 right?

It wasn't directed at you, just a vibe I got from the thread as a whole

I think it is right to remember things like this and to treat it seriously. More generally, whatever political motivations one may have to bring it up, the fact remains that the subject matter itself is tragic. It is an honour, however small, to the victims to remember something like this. It's very...

This is a very good game
