Remember the first Riddick movie? They prayed towards Earth. I always thought it was cool space traveling people knew in which direction Earth was at all times.

Reply to comment by ninpho2246 in TIL It takes 20 years for clothing to be considered "vintage" and today’s most sought-after vintage styles are ‘90s and early ‘00s by Ok_Copy5217
Planned obsolescence has absolutely nothing to do with fashion preferences. How on earth did you come to this conclusion?

Every animal on the planet does that. The fish in my fish tank have a feeding hierarchy.

In reality, the requirement to pray towards Mecca is actually fairly reasonable here. It is only required that you pray towards the planet as best you can Prayer and fasting times are based on the departing time zone on earth. Pretty practical.

RDR2 should rightly be renamed RDR3. That's the misleading shit. Don't tell me about can't wait for <insert game> 2 and you love the series already. MF one game is not a series.
Anyway, you're arguing a point I already conceded. Out.

I remembered in the old WW1 black and white movie, Sergeant York, York lived most of his life in rural America and one of his buddies from the war lived in the city and told him about subways. When York was brought back to the States and celebrated as a war hero, the first thing he wanted to do was to take a train ride in the subway.

Your point is moot, as at that point there were already two games.

There's always a reason to be pedantic. One game doesn't make a series, does it?
