  • Chicago Bulls and the lack of an afterlife:

    As a die-hard Chicago Bulls fan, it was hard to accept that my favorite team wasn't going to make it to the playoffs this year. But, as I watched them lose one game after another, I realized that there was no afterlife, and that the Bulls were really just a bunch of guys playing basketball.

    It's a CRPG where you are an agent sent by a conquering emperor called Kyros to help subjugate Greece a place called the Tiers in the name of empire and Kyros' Peace.

    And hey, in some ways Kyros' empire is pretty sweet. There's gender equality and social mobility and new technology. But the empire is unequivocally evil given one of its armies form of conscription is forcing a conquered town into the murder pit and recruiting the survivors.

    You can turn against Kyros of course, but even then the Tiers are also awful in various ways. All in all, very good game.








  • Similar gravity to Earth, a functioning magnetosphere, and as a bonus, there's the fact that above the cloud layer, while the air isn't breathable, you could walk around with only a breathing apparatus since the acidic stuff is heavy and not present while the temperature is pretty comfortable for humans. Even better, our breathing atmosphere would almost be as buoyant as helium, so flying cities would be possible. Given the wind speeds, people would experience day and night in 2 earth day cycles instead of... once every year or so.
