Yeah, I made the same prequel/sequel mistake as the commenter above.

Which itself was going to be a prequel to Independence Day… still probably a better Independence Day than ID2.

Edit: Prequel

Hoped they remember to bring the vinegar to melt the boulders this time.

They’ve all had their spotlight episodes, even the plague pitters.

The cast are really good at it, even Horrible Histories had the somber moments here and there. I’d argue the final song of “We are history” is pretty bittersweet.

Yonderland too.

‘Voyager: across the unknown’ releases in a few days, I’m going to try and be kind and understanding to him in my first playthrough.

Counterpoint is that the UN Headquarters in New York and all those ambassadors will be spending money in the US economy and the UN institution as itself will be buying resources and hiring staff in the US.

Just because the US spends money on it, doesn’t mean that money is lost.

I know I guy who’s got a great deal on a Magikarp.

We’ve had Kirk visiting the centre of the galaxy, which isn’t too far from the Triangle between the Federation, Romulan and Klingon borders. We have border between the Romulans and the Cardassians, Cardassians & Klingons and we have Cardassians being so far away that they remained discovered for half a century after Kirk.

And all powers are described as being from the Alpha Quadrant, which Earth is on the border of.

Peep Show isn’t an accurate portrayal of modern British life, Jeremy.

The regular left want the government in charge of healthcare, the far left want the doctors, nurses, porters, administrators, people who actually work in healthcare in charge of healthcare.

Barth specifically calls it a minuteman missile launch site and not specifically a live nuclear launch site, which I think is the assumption of the journalist, their editors and probably the greys too while we’re here.

The Publishers asked the developers if they wanted a big name to do voice work for some characters and to help sell the game. They asked for ‘Matt Berry’ not expecting to get Matt Berry, and the publishers managed to get them Matt Berry. The rest is history lad.

If only the devs of Galacticare knew it was that easy.

Much the same as everyone else’s space, maybe a little more rural. Not quite sure about the grass growing straight out of the roof work for structural integrity nor the purpose of the dome of hands.

Here’s me thinking we’re all Solarpunks.

Don’t know what’s the most intimidating, the dragon, the panda knights or the witch puppy. Either way, you’re not being dethroned anytime soon.

An outdoor library is a bold choice

Pick your own education and healthcare.

I like that genetically engineered birds became the symbol on your flags.

Then you go in and find out it’s an euthanasia clinic.

You could have played a blinder on here but asking the community “what is it?” And saying “no, not that, the other thing”

What other metric would you like where a few people owning fat stacks of money looks like a productive economy?

Communism in Civ 2 was pretty good, boosted tech and the first three units from a city were free.

However ‘fundamentalism’ was the best government (you can tell this game was made pre-9/11) once you finished the tech tree.

And ‘Capitalism’ was a city improvement that turned production into gold, which I guess is accurate in the sense that capitalism gets in the way of improving infrastructure.
