How the hell do you get corners on a perfectly spherical road? Also how are corners and Intersections separate things? isn't an intersection of two roads the very thing that creates a corner? I'm confused! I guess I need more of the drugs that no one bothered to shared with talion777 to figure this out.
I have heard them called grinders, but I can't do that. For me the word Grinder will forever be associated with the mile square chunk of asphalt we did PT on at the Naval Boot Camp in Orlando, Florida when I was there in Fall of '93. So whenever I hear the term "Grinder" I am instantly transported back to the one place on Earth that I most closely associate with a literal manifestation of a biblical hell.
Every time a road goes in a direction that is not straight and forces you to turn, it is a corner. Contrary to nascar ovals, cars do in fact turn in multiple directions. I hope you learned something.
I don't think you could find one anywhere but in a Dyson sphere ... and even then it would have to have A LOT of lanes ...I defy anyone to give me an example of a spherical road.
Yep I learned something about you!
Sorry to continue this off-topic discussion, but looking at this map I find it strange that in Bulgaria the highway speed limit is 140 km/h (~87 mph) and they look like this (pictures from internet):
A curve isn't a corner.
A curve could be presumably be any type of turn that isn't at exactly a right angle and is less than 90 degrees, so if we remember our calculus we could use pretty much any value for an angle that approaches a right angle but isn't a right angle and still call it a curve because it's rounded, no matter how infinitesimally. I would submit to you that most municipal workers in most cities have likely built curves rather than corners and that we have an almost limitless potential for lemonade stands, gas stations, brothels, or what have you at curves that resemble corners, but that aren't actually corners, and that curves on municipal roads vastly outnumber actual corners.
(there is of course a flaw in this reasoning if we remember our geometry, but it's still fun to consider anyway, and everyone knows municipal workers are incompetent, so.... lol)
I almost said exactly the same thing, but I changed my post because what I had written wasn't phrased as nicely as you put it. I wonder if the confusion is because the term for making a sharp turn is "cornering" not curving... but that still doesn't make a curve into a corner.

I do my best to be as cordial as possible on here, even though I was raised on the proverb that "If you can't say something nice...."
"SAY SOMETHING MEAN REAL LOUD!"
Sorry to interrupt with talk about the game, lol, but I'm finally doing the final preparations to start the next playthrough (Lexi). One more question:
... so I guess I'm likely to make choices to appease all these disparate things as best I can and just wait for a different playthrough to try some of the other choices. We'll have to see which wins out, me wanting to have the story be the way I like it, me wanting to see different outcomes, or me giving in to evil Steam achievement OCD, meh.
Don't worry about whether you should do this or that, just do whatever you want to do. If that doesn't work out then play it a different way the next time. The game has lots of options. Chris can only go with Linda or Holly though, so that's your choice there. Fine tune with guidance if you feel you need to but the fun in the game (or any game) is the exploration. If you're following directions/guides explicitly then you might as well simply be reading the game instead of playing it. As for Steam achievements well, you can already see the evil in it. I honestly, truly don't understand why someone will tack on hours of a game, following paths you have no interest in, just to be a Steam completist, but I allow as to how different folks/strokes, whatever. i have better things to do with my time, like discussing road and traffic structure with you fine folk. lolSorry to interrupt with talk about the game, lol, but I'm finally doing the final preparations to start the next playthrough (Lexi). One more question:
Should I turn on the Extra Content option from the DLC? I haven't played with it on yet but I'm tempted here (not sure how much it changes).
I was also planning to do certain things a bit differently than I did the first time around to see what changes and minimize extra time spent a bit (like stop Steph, not bringing Steph back, rejecting Kira and Robin but possibly also telling them I'm not okay with two girls together - which is really messed up lol, and setting Chris up with someone besides Linda, or no one, or someone that will fail but I don't think I can do that to my boy) but I either don't know if I have the heart to go through with some of them, don't necessarily want to do them in this route or certain future routes, or the worst possible offender - there's a Steam achievement influencing me
Regardless, starting up the game again felt like coming home.
If you've played through once, I'd turn everything on (Walkthrough if you want it, Extra content and commentary). But then, I live for commentary.Sorry to interrupt with talk about the game, lol, but I'm finally doing the final preparations to start the next playthrough (Lexi). One more question:

even commentary from ornery/obstreperous/misguided/benighted/crazy fellow posters? You sir, may be a saint. I, on the other hand, may fall into one of those poster categories. Either that, or I'm tragically misunderstood, even by myself. sigh.
Well, mostly commentary from creators related to the project, but I've been known to indulge in fan commentary as well ^_^
You mean on the Lexi route specifically? I've never been clear on the requirements for getting him and Robin to work out successfully. Is it just that you need to have not slept with her, also have told Kira you weren't okay with her and Robin, or does it only really work out when you've done both and are also on the solo Kira route (assuming that it does there)?
I once had a similar mindset for a period of time regarding gaming in general where I didn't understand why my friends spent as much time/money on gaming as they did (compared to what I thought they could/should be doing) and I tended to mostly only play games socially despite having grown up loving them, and yet here I am now, lol. Perspective is a funny thing.
Now you're speaking my language.whatabout curves on women?
Don't think I've ever heard one described as having nice corners, lol.The issue with achievements is picking what they should be.Don't worry about whether you should do this or that, just do whatever you want to do.
