Armagon Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 4 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: trains apparently ran from NYC to St. Augustine, but that was the literal end of the line. ...Until Flagler decided to extend the railroads.🛤️🤑 His interest in expanding Florida's tourism industry led him to realize further south = more sun & warmth. Palm Beach was another major patronage project of his. Flagler wasn't as in love with Miami, but he did eventually lay down trackage and add a hotel there. Flagler's last contribution to the Florida coast was the Florida East Coast Railway connecting Miami to Key West. In 1905, 4000 men started on 128 miles (206km) and 34 islands. Remember what was taken from us. 4 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Did you already know all this?😅 -Or did I just give you somebody (other than Disney) to hate for all the darned tourists?😆 Didn't know but this guy was building railroads and that sounds cool. It's not like the trains would've solely existed for the sake of tourism anyways. 4 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: As for modern terminology "the Northeast" is a better choice of phrasing for the area from Maine to at least Pennsylvania, maybe DC or even Richmond.😀 Fair enough.

Dayni Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Hearing there's an investigation into Le Pen's election funding that's been worked on the last few years..... I mean, maybe consequences can be real? Good if it gets brought to light something is there and it gets proven. On less serious stuff, I guess Fusion next? Surprised I only realised today 3 of the 2D Metroids have stealth elements.

Interdimensional Observer Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2024/07/sonic-team-boss-really-wants-to-make-a-new-sonic-the-hedgehog-rpg Now I'm reminded Sonic Chronicles exists. Though I never played it, I've read it ended on a cliffhanger, and legal issues (possible plagiarism) prevented the sequel, of which start-to-end details have been provided, from ever being made. @Acacia Sgt I'm not sure how much to trust Internet comments 😏, but I did see some which might explain why Detonator Orgun and Tekkaman Blade resemble each other. That being -one officially, one unofficially- they're both reboots of the original Tekkaman: The Space Knight. The original series ended with a cliffhanger, yet wasn't popular enough to get more (Wikipedia cites a planned 52 episodes being cut to 26). Blade and Orgun were coincidental same-time attempts to resurrect the failed idea. If notes on the missing second half endure, maybe the talented writers at Banpresto could do something with them. 2 hours ago, Dayni said: On less serious stuff, I guess Fusion next?

Hmm, interesting. Well, SRW has in fact done stuff like that already. I believe one such example happens right in SRW X itself. 24 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: For MarylandxNew Jersey to work, Delaware would need to cease existing. It's one of those colonial oddities, like how fragmentary New England is. Albeit in a discussion of worldwide colonialism, Delaware is way less weird than The Gambia. Well, it depends. Delaware broke off from Pennsylvania since the latter grew large enough they wanted more autonomy (what became Delaware was the main power center for a time since Penn wanted sea access for his colony). Wouldn't see that as too weird since it's more or less how US territorial divisions would happen. Territories being reshaped, divided, and finally admitted as states depending on factors like population. 24 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: I take offense at being called "Southern".😝 Well, I mean, it's a division that predates the American Revolution. DC might've been chosen as the place to put the capital due to being central, but even back then, Maryland-Virginia were always considered as part of the "South". Hence Upper South, to differentiate them from the Carolinas and Georgia, who were the Deep South / Old Southeast. 24 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Though it is true that if you ignored the Delaware downturn... ...that southernmost NJ falls below the Line. (Aside- Princeton University had one-third of its students come from the South prior to the Civil War.) Well, as I mentioned, Delaware being once one entity with Pennsylvania is why the Mason-Dixon makes that sharp turn. The region was certainly more blurry in terms of North-South, for sure. 24 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: "Training"?

On 7/8/2024 at 12:01 AM, Interdimensional Observer said: ...I didn't watch the video, but only three minutes ago did I look and read comments elsewhere that they brought back Emerl, who now I see is in the vid you posted.😅 Sonic Battle is not a great game. The story is long and repetitively filled with fights, Emerl skill-acquiring is random, and why can I charge up my special attacks into insta-kills? However, I give Sega a few points for attempting something between a traditional fighting game and Super Smash Bros. And the sprites are nice while the GBA 3D battlefields are a technical novelty for the portable. Most importantly- I played and completed Sonic Battle ages ago.😆 That being so, seeing the old orange learning android return cracks a small smile from me.😄 I think Sonic Battle is more remembered for its plot than its gameplay, which Emerl is a big part of. And Chaos is in it, which gives it points in my book. I was pleasantly surprised to see Emerl make an appearance for the first time in 20 years (and in such a cool fashion too), so I'm looking forward to seeing how the short expands on Shadow's history. 22 hours ago, Benice said: It's good to be back!

The tentacle for his heavy attack is cool though. 51 minutes ago, Lightchao42 said: I think Sonic Battle is more remembered for its plot than its gameplay, which Emerl is a big part of. Emerl wasn't a bad concept. The plot I don't remember all that much, other than being built around Emerl, but I don't mind the android's return. I heard that people are speculating that he'll be a fourth playable character in Generations now, his inherent learning capacities would make him flexible. Rather than go golden Super, he could have his third eye open once more, temporarily, with the immense power now under his control, a limiter release & all. But I'll be doubtful Sega is adding that much. 1 hour ago, Acacia Sgt said: Well, it depends.

It's pretty normal to see characters with trauma/sad baggage, and who witness tragedies like family/friends murdered and hometowns destroyed and then go emotionally downhill for a bit. -But for me, that's -thankfully- pure fantasy. What of someone who wasn't a tortured laboratory test subject and don't get backstabbed halfway into the plot by their adoptive fathers? Of someone who is simply, "intrinsically", pained with melancholy? Maybe such people exist. The gaming landscape is vast nowadays, what I've seen is limited, and even more so by my own disinclination for anything too dark/sad.😆 But I haven't seen them/wouldn't know. 42 minutes ago, Dayni said: Sure doesn't feel that way tearing through the space pirates after getting the Gravity Suit. I am not doubting her stealth (you'd assume it'd be useful for some bounties), but Yet for whatever fighting she does, I wouldn't say Samus's journeys are akin to, I sincerely don't know 😅, some Western sci-fi dude clad in heavy armor with a laser assault rifle? It's like how people say Metroid Prime is a First-Person Adventure, not a First-Person Shooter. Yes Samus does end up powerful by her missions' ends, and she knows how to take down prey, sometimes being assigned to outright kill things -Metroid 2. But when I play a Metroid, I don't feel like I need to kill everything I see if they aren't unavoidable & aggressive. I could just be running and jumping and Morph Balling through the room looking for upgrades or to reach the next objective. ...Okay, maybe "Space Ninja" is the wrong phrase, since it can mean full-stealth all the time. "Space Assassin", is more denotatively lethal, but still not "obliterate everything in sight. That better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the peculiarities of decentralized/disorganized colonization over time, with inertia then taking hold. I think it's more that the East Coast was heavily populated even by independence time. Hence why states out west got admitted much larger, and save for the West Virginia special case, no state can be created out of another. Only territories. Though some states can still get enlarged from territories. That's how Nevada got its present-day shape. It took land from both the Utah and Arizona territories after gaining statehood.
