What the gently caress is it with the random 0.0001% of dudes that want to try and talk at the urinal?

Urinal etiquette is very clear that you do not carry on a conversation about the weather or how you got a flat tire or whatever while your dicks are out.

can you do video on scale of that city planet.
if Cr didnt lie about the realism of his physics simulation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGcG0g7GsOI#t=1677s

on earth sized planet gravity would be 9.7239 meters per second
if it was 1/100 scale would mean that gravity is 5.0676 meters per second
if it was 1/1000 scale it would mean that gravity is 0.407124021258469 meters per second
that would give us a sphere with 6.4 km radius.
A = 514718540.36415 m2
515 km2 would be the area of the city planet
for comparison just cause 3 map is 1036km2

Just to clarify? Did CR actually say the planet was a 1:1 scale and physics accurate simulation?

A giant procgen planet with a city on it is pretty cool, I like what they did with it; No one would really care if its not perfectly accurate to scale even at 1:10,000 its bigger than any video game would ever need it to be.

I spent far too much time looking for this old post from USENET. All credit to Andrew Solberg, all shame to me for still remembering this after 23(!) years.

Andrew Solberg, from the dim and murky past of talk.bizarre posted:

From: Andrew Solberg
Date: 19940303
Subject: At The Ro-DAY-Yo

This is what happened at the rodeo.

Rather, this is one of the things that happened at the rodeo. The Houston
rodeo is a very big event in a very big venue (the Astrodome), and a great
many things go on there on a regular basis. Sadly, few of them are ever
interesting, which is why I don't go to the rodeo much.

I can't tell you why I went to the rodeo tonight. I usually hate the rodeo,
since I live very close to the Dome and the traffic is horrendous right about
now. I guess I had a spare night with nothing better to do, so I figured
I'd go to the rodeo and sneer at the backwoods yokels that I might have
become if I'd stayed rural for but a few milliseconds longer than I did.

The rodeo main features were insipid and generally boring. Holy Moly,
Agnes, if we don't get our Cheez-dogs soon, we'll miss the *Pig* *Races*!
That kind of insipid and boring. I watched diligently and was not at all
amused.

Except for the bathroom incident.

- * -

What can I say about the bathroom incident, except "Wow!" and "Jeezus!" and
perhaps "Ole!"

It is a common feature of all major sports complexes, worldwide, to have
insufficient numbers of commodes. Those who build such stadia do not seem to
believe that the average sports-goer will generally only whizz during half-
time. "Lessee, forty thousand folx divided by 180 minutes of ballgame means
we need facilities for a little over 2000 people every minute," the architects
say to themselves. "If only one guy out of three has to use the bathroom,
that's about 700 a minute, and figure each guy takes 30 seconds. So, like,
we need 350 toilets! Easy!!" Architects are, as I have pointed out before,
schmucks. Between innings or during a full time-out half the loving stadium
will be there trying to get rid of the malted bile that they washed down for
insulting sums of money. During this time the phenomenon known as "sink-
pissing" occurs -- a thing that is mightily frowned upon by dome security,
but authority cannot command the almighty ureters.

During a break I used a bathroom at the dome. We were not yet at the point
where the using of sinks, floor drains and empty plastic cups was to be
called for, but we were getting there: the john was mought crowded, dear
friends, and the cries of the pain-wracked echoed from brightly-painted
tile walls as the serpentine line crept forward.

After a period of patient waiting that will eventually garner me my long-
sought canonization, I entered the holy sanctuary of the water closet.
One man stood behind every one of a long line of urinals, quietly and
cheerily doing his part to debase local groundwater quality. Behind each
man stood a short line of penitent sufferers, each awaiting their turn
to anoint the sacred soap-puck. I felt a wave of camaraderie sweep over
me as I joined such a queue, marking time with my renal brothers and
watching the seconds tick towards my moment of glory.

- * -

At this point I should mention a difficulty some men have: an insecurity
experienced in crowded public restrooms. Whatever sphincters and muscles
that regulate the expulsion of liquids seem to freeze up, and that thing
which they waited so long to do can no longer be done. I guess it's a
phobia or something, although I challenge Safire to come up with the
exact nomenclature for such a fear.

Anyway, a guy in the next line was having such a problem. He was standing
in front of his urinal for at least a minute or two, with no results to
speak of. The natives were growing restless; there was talk of scalping.
His face beet-red, the poor bastard heaved and strained, but alas: a
mischievious little Dutch boy had plugged the dam, and it was a Day No
Tinkle Would Flush.

Fortunately, the man behind him (you may call him Ray) was in the most
helpful of moods. (This is where it gets screwy.)

Ray stepped up to the man's side and reached down with one of his rather
large and beefy hands. He seized the sufferer's gland and gave it
two solid squeezes.

"Honk honk," he added.

- * -

Much laughing then occurred. The mortified non-pee-er zipped and fled
post-haste. Laughing continued to abound. The lines collapsed. Those
unfortunates who were caught mid-stream were not as accurate as they
could have been, and may possibly have struck targets a few points off
from the fire lane. Laughing did not stop for several minutes. Ray
himself was chortling while urinating -- no small feat, I assure you.

Later on, a guy named Ben and I bought Ray a beer. We claimed to want
to shake the hand that honked the pecker of a complete stranger. We
talked with Ray for some time, and found him to be a character through
and through. His full name is Ray Schneider, and he is from Killeen,
Texas. If you ever ride through there, look him up and congratulate
him on a job well done.

Ray wanted to return to his family, so we let him go. Then they started
judging goats, and I decided to call it a night.

- * -

I hope this is a practice that will catch on. Forget Miss Manners: it
is perfectly acceptable, and possibly desirable, to meddle with people
in public restrooms. Mess with their heads while they are going. Turn
off the lights. Kick them in the butt. Point at their units and burst
out laughing. Most of all, please stretch out their penises and thwunk
them once, hard, like a washtub banjo. I dare you.

But don't honk them. You cannot honk their honkers.

That's Ray's job.

Honestly, I was hoping for a colossal gently caress-up again, like at gamescom. But they elected to punt, just showing a long cutscene with no gameplay, no interactions, no dialogue. It didn't amaze everyone but it didn't drive backers away in droves. It was as safe as they could have played it.
