Do you not understand the concept of current events? Probably not. I imagine the world just passes you by. -
I mean, they've been talking about it in the Pittsburgh region ever since it first happened, but maybe it's because we're close. It's raining right now. I kinda wanna buy litmus paper. I really think the whole town should be evacuated and the place should be an exclusion zone for habitation. Maybe the groundwater isn't contaminated now, but I imagine the chemicals will seep through.

So China is flying a balloon over Montana apparently..

This news shouldn't be surprising. Don't ever forget the fact that there are more American military personnel in Japan than in any foreign country, and this has been the case for over 30 years since the Gulf War. They are always watching China, North Korea, and Russia. -
If you liked Danganronpa and Zero Escape, you'll most likely like this series too. Just wondering if anyone else here played it, as it seems to be a game that would be up some people's alley here.

Since I live within a fifty mile radius of the huge train derailment, I guess I can report to you guys how well Teslas can handle acid rain, lol

In retrospect, Rowling was pretty weak at worldbuilding. The wizarding world had to remain secret but still respected modern muggle sovereignty; i.e. there were witches from France, Germany, etc. She could have made it more interested by including Atlantis or a secret Norse tribe or some shit. She definitely is no Tolkien. I dunno. I definitely see her shortcomings as an author. She is a pretty shitty person too, I know. It's one unfortunate circumstance of separating the art from the artist for me. I think I'll always enjoy Harry Potter though. I only consider the seven books as canon though. Fantastic Beasts series and Rowling's retconning don't mean shit to me.

Am I seriously going to be the first person here to write a more serious review? Fine, so be it. I'm gonna focus more on the creative liberties involved, which Rowling had no part in anyway. Playing it makes you realize no one ever really had a fully fleshed out idea of how Hogwarts interconnects with all the various areas. Moaning Myrtle's bathroom is right next to the Slytherin common room entrance, when it was supposed to be on the second floor. Also, the entrance doesn't feel as deep as it should, as the Slytherin common room is under the lake, and Hogwarts is on a small cliff. The grand staircase doesn't really feel that grand and is much more circular this time around than previous iterations. I could go on and on about many of the "mistakes" but I realized they did what they could to try to incorporate the layout from the movies into this video game. The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom looks just like it does in the movies. With the oldest adaptations of the Harry Potter games, they just freely did whatever to try building a world and relied on loading screens for any shortcomings. Honestly, it may have been more interesting if they just built a new Hogwarts layout from scratch. All in all, it makes me appreciate the field of architecture more. Anyway, so far it seems to be an all right game. I'm only playing it here and there, as I don't have much free time anymore. I have obviously been more interested in the design than the gameplay, and it seems the creators were aware there would be people like me.

People who can't drive would benefit most from decreased dependency on cars, obviously. Also, I sense NIMBYism (not from you).

Not much of a brag, but more my thinking that electric cars aren't the future. The thing sucks a lot more energy in the winter time, even if you have the heater off. Car depedency is bad, mmkay.

This disaster made me learn there's a province in Turkey called Batman. No one died in Batman, but there are injured people.

Engaging topic as usual. Well done.

lol, you two are friends.

Like your return, for instance. People will enjoy taking the potshots at you again. I suppose you must enjoy that too, but you do you.

You were clearly missed, Packard. Actions speak louder than words.

Weren't you sent a care package from a certain place recently? 😱

You know what to do with a pussy that misbehaves.
