The right time to get depressed?

Looking at all the recent threads and posts expressing the authors' disappointment and frustration, I start wondering about something. Remember the days when CR 2.0 was in development? Tons of players were mad and canceled their accounts,...

Where is our world's place in the Matrix universe?

Well, it wasn't even logical for the developers to create the full Mega City -- we have only like 10% of it in the game. But, the whole city does exist in theory (or fiction?). Thus, saying the Matrix simulated the whole globe wouldn't be...

Where is our world's place in the Matrix universe?

Well, that's truly an interesting theory. It truly is. But, in the end, it's still not that far from my "first variant", because, well, we still live in the Matrix. Green tint, fabricated history, year 1999? Pfft at those -- if we live in...

Where is our world's place in the Matrix universe?

This has been already bugging me for ages: [weak, redundant introduction:] Most science-fiction or fantasy concepts have a clear relation to the real world: either, they reveal facts about our world, portraying it as a fassade or something...

Are we really free?

Interesting discussion so far, but let's just make it simple and go back to my first post here. We can keep discussing what freedom really means, or how many conceptions of freedom there are -- but that wouldn't really meet the topic of th...

hmm. You have thrown a couple new terms in that I am not familiar with. What are cypherites and EPN? Two sub-organizations. EPN, the abbreviation for E Pluribus Neo, is a renegade organization descent from Zion, primarily built upon their...

No. You can still hope that the Devs start redesigning building interiors, thus, I haven't crushed any hopes. Although, if you mean the windows between interior rooms, of course my argument doesn't apply. It only goes for outdoors-indoors...

"that it were possible" -- correct or wrong?

Actually, the conjunctive (or "past", who cares?) third person singular form of "to be" is "was". If, say, someone in a mission text says "... that it were possible", is it definitely a typo, or is there some slang, dialect or old-fashione...

I could imagine it if the world was designed better, and exterior windows would match the interior ones. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Basically, you could jump through something you estimate a window and then burst out of a steel w...
