I'm pretty sure I remember reading that Jupiter's "protector" status might also be overblown, as it actually sends asteroids into the inner solar system as well.

When I played, back when I was a late teen, I didn't generally care about winning so much as pulling off cool combos or winning in a stupid way. I just found cards that worked together.

Depends what your goal is. Like most games, if it's to win you have to get sweaty.

I liked how mtg let you get real creative to pull off a semi viable deck with insane mechanics, even if it was strictly worse than "the correct" way to play

Except if current universe rules apply speed would be useless. You'd die from over heating either from the energy created from moving your body faster or the compression of air molecules as you move through them (think asteroids and space ships re- entering)

Yeah, I played the hell out of gta 3, San Andreas and vice city... But 5 felt very boring. I can't really nail why but it got to a point where I tried to force myself to play before giving up.

Similar story with RDR, I played the original and the zombie dlc, loved both, the sequel just didn't do much for me

I mean... You can be clinically dead and then revived with cpr and a defibrillator, so not entirely unrealistic.

Yeah, I was about to say, as a software engineer I can totally understand how that might have happened and am not surprised... But the skeptic/cynic in me feels like it's a convenient excuse.

While I won't deny there is a biological difference that impacts performance there's also a systemic societal difference that doesn't help.

In general women are not given the same support, whether from family, schools, coaches, research or funding, to become top athletes.

It's certainly much better that it has been in the past now days and it's getting better, but even just people saying "women aren't as good as men" is something that sinks into the psyche of women who want to compete.

It's akin to men from poorer nations who can't afford resources, time and training, having a hard time competing against "richer" nations who invest more into it

I've heard good things about proton. Considering switching to that as well. Other than heading so many places use your old email until you update it is there any reason you did it gradually?

You guys are arguing over degrees, ironically. Yes, it's misleading, but it's not AS misleading as saying "Temperature reaches 60C" without stating "surface" as well.
