Oh, City. I enjoyed the book very much. I remember the talking dogs and that, with atomic energy, everybody decided to live far away from the rest of humanity. And they had flying cars.

I and a Yank and I spent my entire career in the sciences, generally Chemists used Celsius while Engineers used Fahrenheit and YES - upon rare occasions shit happened when someone got confused. In my career on
three occasions I saw experiments come to disastrous conclusions after someone did something as simple as heating to 300 C instead of F.
As an example, in September of 1999, after almost 10 months of travel to Mars, the Mars Climate Orbiter burned and broke into pieces. On a day when NASA engineers were expecting to celebrate, the ground reality turned out to be completely different, all because someone failed to use the right units, i.e., the metric units!. The navigation team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) used the metric system of millimeters and meters in its calculations, while Lockheed Martin Astronautics in Denver, Colorado, which designed and built the spacecraft, provided crucial acceleration data in the English system of inches, feet, and pounds. JPL engineers did not take into consideration that the units had been converted, i.e., the acceleration readings measured in English units of pound-seconds^2 for a metric measure of force called newton-seconds^2. In a sense, the spacecraft was lost in translation.

Even still, I think RPGmaker has too many menus for things like selecting items, and dont even get me started on their turn based combat...

Night xatfx, rest well.
You can do good games with rpgmaker but is not for all genres and a lot of people use it very lazily (also hate the json code formatting while reverse-engineering some of them)

Weird.
Come on the site thinking about doing something, checking through messages, see new blood and then have the thought "might need to do some bloodletting".
Being antagonistic and condescending really isn't the way to make friends and influence people in your first hours on the site. You need to have been here a little longer and be friends BEFORE you act like an antagonistic and/or condescending prick!

I was around back in the mid 70s when we were planning on transitioning to metric over a 10 year period. It was a great idea, but politics got in the way and the committee behind it got disbanded before it got fully implemented. It still pops up in congress on occasion, but never gets particularly far.

I will look forward to see your art.
Welp, I'm off to bed once again.
Bye everyone, have a good rest of your day/night!
See you all tomorrow!

YES I especially loved the ant civilization arc Where they slowly achieved world dominance. Anthills were abandoned, each of which featured a statue of a human foot kicking over an anthill, in memory of the mutant Joe doing just that and kickstarting the ants’ evolution. Another book of his I would suggest is The Goblin Reservation, featuring an educated Neanderthal, a biomechanical sabertooth tiger, aliens that move about on wheels, a man who time-travels using an unreliable device implanted in his brain, a ghost, trolls, banshees, goblins, a dragon and even Shakespeare.

I really think sandbox games are a trap for people trying to make games, they let you scope creep too easily and if not done properly can be a barrier to entry with poorly streamlined gameplay
They really need to have
- A quest list with updates, and preferably hints.
- Easy map navigation that actually shows who's at the locations so you don't have to go spam checking, every, single, location.
+ also have some way to show random events, if they're possible then or not
- No inventory management or minimal items
+ If theres a money counter in the game, dont make me go buy things from a store that is likely closed since its like 11pm in game, just let me throw the money amount to "give her this chocolate I bought earlier for $10" Its a hassle to run between places to get items to raise arbitrary meters
- "relationship" meters... There are many games that have a requirement for like x lust when lust can only be gained in like 0.000001 increments and you need 10. OH they also decay at like 2 lust a day so make sure you keep working on the girl you're trying to bang!!!
+ meters are really a very hit or miss. most of the time they're miss imo and I prefer checkpoints in quest chains for progression

I read that there is a decimal part, although I don't know whether it shows (I like round stuff, so I only add multiples of 50).

Don't know if it's the actual reason, but...

Freezing is generally considered the opposite of boiling, and - based upon the manner in which circles and compass settings are divided into 360 degrees - "doing a 180" is a phrase used to indicate you're going the precise opposite direction. If you want to know why that is the case, go back and ask the ancient Babylonians.
Thus, maybe he wanted 180 degrees in between the two measures since an object that is frozen is the opposite of that object as it molecularizes into steam.
Just the first thought that popped into my head when I saw your statement. Take it with a grain of salt.
If you simply don't want to care, add tequila and lime to the grain of salt.

Has been discused multiple times, don't think anyone knows for sure, I remember someone saying the decimals were kept but hidden but can't say if it is that way indeed.
