Nighed

That's fair, I read the other comment about it actually being the common language throughout India which is interesting. I guess it's just a more extreme version of the US/UK/AU English differences, we may differ over time, but should remain close enough to understand 99% of the time

Skylines is complicated?!?

Fair enough I guess, have you tried citiesXL? Older and dead but even more of a city painter I believe.

I read something ( similar to this) about the maximum data transfer per second in different languages being basically the same.

Some languages with less nuance, or fewer letters/syllables have less information per syllable, but tend to speak faster, while more 'complicated' languages have more information per syllable, but tend to speak slower.

The general trend was a maximum amount of speech 'data' that could be processed by an average human brain per second.

No idea how this would relate to second languages, and how people with 'fast' languages react to speaking 'slow' ones. Would be cool to see some data/research on it. Anocdotally, a lot of people struggle to understand Indians speaking English, is that because of the accent and/or poor English (second language, don't diss them!) or because they are speaking faster than our natural language data speed?

I was talking about the comparison image that appears in the post (pulled from the article)

I have watched some videos on it, very cool. That said, I pretty sure those photos in the comparison are taken at different times of year?

Have you seen any adds yet? 🙂

'*Apps may add adds I guess

The hobby communities really need someone to bootstrap them, posting content, even if it doesn't initially get much engagement.

The problem is that that's actually quite hard work, and can't be rushed, it requires posting a little over a long period of time - and may never get going!

Which are the 'core' D&D communities you are aware of? (so I can subscribe to them all)

It depends if the directors.can be found legally liable. I don't think they can be financially liable unless it can be proved they have done something illegal (depending on their company setup)

I think they are a reasonably large and apparently infamous (even before this) developer. They should have the assets to do this. Whether they actually use them or hide them is up for question.

What do you bet the owning company will suddenly go bankrupt (because all it's assets have strangely been sold for £1 to a new company with the same directors)

Bear in mind - software salaries are MUCH less outside of the US

I thought that's what the Pico cells are for - each plane has a mini phone tower in it so phones happily connect to that instead of looking for ground stations
