I could totally be misremembering, but I seem to recall the Ezio trilogy being praised for accurate cities. So not the original originals, but probably some of the best.

But imagine if you grew up with and struggled alongside those 40 plays for your whole life.

This used to be unironically true, to an extent. Especially with the original games.

Amazing typo.

It started with BoatyMcBoatface, as far as I know. The winner for naming what became the Sir David Attenborough.

Isn’t the Panama Canal basically running out of water? They should act like they’ve been cowed, sell it to us for a ton of money, and laugh all the way to the bank.

If the espresso isn’t making you pee, you might just be dehydrated. Caffeine is a diuretic, so it’s going to make you lose some water.

Yeah, but you’re selling it to somebody who would buy a Tesla in 2025.

This is often called “waiting mode” and there are strategies to help deal with it. For me, that’s alarms. If I have an appointment, I’ll set alarms for when to be in the shower, out of the shower, and out the door. It allows you to actually relax.

Something that a lot of replies are missing is how quickly and dramatically we change appearance at that age. Imagine if filming runs over a year and the 14-year-old you hired is now a foot taller and the shape of his face changed through puberty. Sure, little kids grow fast, but features don’t change nearly as much, especially for boys in their teens.

Mine bullies me precisely by staying just out of my line of sight and rattling things.

I’m tearing up, it’s so beautiful

Isekai is religion for the modern era. “Oh, don’t be sad he was hit by truck-kun, he’s in a better place now.”

Note, I’m all for this. If I die in an accident, I firmly expect friends and family to workshop a story plot at the funeral

You are now morally obligated to invest all of your money, then. What’s the worst that could happen, someone invents the solution to all of our problems and you’re poor?
