  • I went away for a little over two weeks once. When we finally got back our one cat came around the corner, saw us, and let out the longest, saddest yowl you would ever hear. It makes leaving now so heartbreaking.

  • It was very much not an action oriented game. It was more about building resources and exploration. I can definitely see it not appealing to large swatches of the gaming population. Especially those used to the modern spate of action rpgs.

  • For the first part, why he doesn't have a formal education: Nog is living on a space station with his uncle and father. Not in a Ferengi society. The Uncle doesn't want to shell out for an education for the kid cause he's Ferengi and doesn't want to pay for things, and the father just goes along because he's kind of a doormat. There's not enough opportunity for job-shadowing that allows Nog to learn from a Ferengi mentor that's capable of teaching such things as literacy, so he remains ignorant. Also explains why he gets into so much trouble (aside from the bad influence of his uncle), as he has too much free time from lack of mentorship.

    He also shows that he's very hard working when he applies himself. So, in addition to tutoring from Jake and probably Keiko, he just buckles down and does the work. Especially when he gets to the academy. He specifies in "Homefront" (Or "Paradise Lost", I don't remember exactly) that he's doing all right at the Academy. Not excelling, so he's struggling. Probably not the least of which is because he's behind in education as compared to his classmates.

  • It has very little to connect with even if you do play minecraft. If you watch youtubers play minecraft, on the other hand, it's probably perfect.

    It's basically a gen Alpha (maybe Z at a stretch) cringe comedy movie more than a minecraft movie. That's mostly just the setting.

  • Depends on how you define intelligence. If intelligence is only your max possible ability to process thoughts, yeah. Clarity won't increase intelligence, just increase utilization of intelligence. But if it's a more dynamic measurement, then intelligence would be improved by clarity of thought.

  • It would be nice if it were above politics. But what you're attributing to nefarious deeds... is literally what politics is. Power players trying to leverage anything they can to accumulate as much influence as possible. Sometimes these come in the form of scheming plans, but more often than not it's just manipulating any convenient happenstance that falls at their feet.

  • Sometimes people have ideas that just don't work out. Even if the same people make another game, unless they just make a carbon copy they're going to try and do something different. Sometimes it doesn't work as well as the original, but at least it's not churning out the same thing over and over and hoping people don't notice.

    Granted, Gamefreak has basically been doing that for 25 years, so what do I know?

  • That's not because they're Jewish, though, it's because they've let their ego and pride overcome their empathy for their fellow human beings.

    There's plenty of non-Jewish people who are also perfectly happy to profit off the suffering of Palestinians.
