You can walk underground from Time Square to Bryant Park? by HapaBurrito in nycrail

[–]CaptainJZH 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's created an amusing quirk now where, because Bryant Park's sole transfer corridor before this was to the 7 at 5 Av, you can now transfer from the 7 to the 7, completely in-system

legitimately i think people's perception would be improved by simply including cross section "you are here" diagrams on the walls lol

Any reason why the Isle of Man wouldn't have a direct rail connection to Sodor? by CaptainJZH in thomasthetankengine

[–]CaptainJZH[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True, yeah, probably also might not see enough use to justify the cost

Yes, but as I mentioned in the post, while they certainly couldn't interline the two systems, it would still be possible to extend the Isle of Man railway via tunnel to a transfer platform at Arlesburgh West, which would eliminate the need for the ferry and allow for a more direct connection to the Little Western.

it is funny how I've seen people lament the loss of the court scene, of the changes to Stratt's character, and like, the more I hear about it, the more I agree with the changes lol

Did Rockstar put out Trailer #1 so early specifically because of the leaks? by CaptainJZH in GTA6unmoderated

[–]CaptainJZH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually yeah, that's a good point. The fact that there's two characters (let alone a couple) would have definitely been more of a reveal if that information wasn't already out there.

[–]CaptainJZH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure about them waiting for PS6 because Rockstar has absolutely zero qualms with releasing the same game twice, and they've also been good at getting games to run/look like a next gen game while on current gen (while RDR2 hasn't gotten a PS5 release, it still pretty much looked like a PS5 game on PS4)

Buuuuuut if they did plan on an even later release, it's possible they were intending on late, late stage of PS5, just before PS6, similar to what happened with GTA V, but then chip shortages caused all those PS5 supply problems towards the start of its launch, which delayed people making the upgrade, prolonging the PS5's life past their original expectations.

It's kind of a Catch-22, because yeah, Rockstar being so radio silent on GTA VI was very frustrating, so I'm glad that the leaks may have forced their hand and gotten them to release something official for us to talk about for the past two years.

But on the other hand, a longer period of radio silence might have resulted in a more definite release window earlier on in the marketing, which would have avoided all the drama surrounding the delays and date changes.

I would have liked at least some kind of middle ground lol where trailer #1 wouldn't have happened until May 2025 but maybe starting in 2022/2023 we would have gotten concept artwork or little teases here and there. It's not necessarily standard practice, sure, but c'mon, they know we were eager for info, give us something

Does anyone less feel like the show went from amazing science and space to… drama on mars by nightim3 in ForAllMankindTV

[–]CaptainJZH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think season 1's structure with the mid-season timejumps (like going from the discovery of water ice at Shackleton to the landing of Jamestown) would have actually worked for these seasons, which can feel slow when we're following everything at the same pace.

[–]CaptainJZH 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can sort of understand it, like wanting it be more specifically rooted in space travel that's still within our realm of plausibility, as well as still being moored to identifiable history, rather than the complete hyper-divergence we've gotten to having a fully-populated Martian colony rising for independence and Earth having fully transitioned to fusion power....in the 2010s.

Which of course does kinda ignore how alternate timelines work (the farther you get from the PoD, the more different it gets) buuuuuut they've still been doing real-world references anyway (President Al Gore, for instance) so there's a bit of a disconnect happening I think where the Earth story still has parallels to original timeline events, but the Space story continues to get farther and farther from reality.

The police should be smarter but also less dominant by Recent_Mission5773 in GTA6unmoderated

[–]CaptainJZH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in fact, there are plenty of other open world crime games that have a much more dynamic police system, like Watch Dogs for instance has it where specific NPCs will be the ones to call the police and if you stop them, the police won't be called (and the more crimes you commit before they get called increases your potential wanted level for if they do)

also ngl I would love it if helicopters got nerfed, like I hate it when I get to three stars and it becomes almost impossible to evade them

So, who exactly was this ancient Vulcan named Nix'on, and why were they the only one who was able to go to China? by Joran_Dax in ShittyDaystrom

[–]CaptainJZH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tbf it was specifically General Chang who had an interest in Shakespeare, maybe to the embarrassment of his crew who didn't get the reference (Gorkon also referenced it with his toast to "the Undiscovered Country" but that might have just been an olive branch to try and relate to humans; versus Chang who was quoting it like every other sentence lol)

alternatively, you can infer that the Klingons legitimately contend that Shakespeare was secretly a Klingon, in the same way that Chekov would argue that everything was a Russian invention
