So far it’s been 5 issues of “hey let’s split up into 3 different groups that don’t make sense and go to random places together and occasionally hit each other”. It feels like everything significant is going to happen in the sixth issue.
I feel like this could have been done in a single 3-issue crossover between the 3 books, instead of dragging it out over six.

Abolishing the pork barrel is well and good, but the sociopaths behind large-scale corruption will just find some other flaw in the system to take advantage of. Not just removing the pork barrel, but the system needs to be reworked to bake in transparency (all transactions made public knowledge BEFORE implementation not just on request as per FOI bill) and accountability (all transactions have a well-defined set of people who would be held liable in case of shenanigans)

Reply to 'Marvel Universe?' on /r/comicbooks:
Are you asking about the concept of comic book universes in general or about what universes Marvel has specifically?
Marvel has an infinite number of universes (all of them together comprise the Marvel multiverse), as opposed to DC which has only 52 universes. Each universe is usually identified by a number.
The main Marvel universe in which most of the Marvel comic book stories have taken place is commonly referred to as the 616 universe.
The other universes most active right now are the Ultimate universe for the Ultimate Comics line (I forgot the exact designation for this universe, it’s 16xx I think) and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (I believe this is designated universe 199999) for the Iron Man/Avengers set of movies.
Edit: Here is a list of known Marvel universes: http://marvel.wikia.com/Multiverse/Universe_Listing

Reply to 'ELI5: The difference between procedural generation and random generation' on /r/explainlikeimfive:
Procedural generation is a form of random generation; except that when you say procedural generation, you expect that there are more rules than just randomly putting any set of results together.
An example of procedural generation would be map generation in games like Civilization. If it were completely random, you would often see ice areas near the equator or next to desert areas or other such tile placements that make no sense. Instead it’s procedural, there’s certain rules followed like for each type of terrain, there’s a given probability that it will be beside this other type of terrain, and there are other rules and algorithms to ensure things like continents or achipelagos form well.

It makes the transition easier for new readers coming in from the movies to see more characters they are familiar with.

Thanks for the advice, it worked. He also has SMT4 but has not gotten to the point where you can enable Streetpass. I just switched SMT4 cartridges with him, loaded by game on his 3ds and activated the streetpass, so now it works yay!

Yup. As mentioned, I already have SMT4 streetpass activated. And I’ve already received other SMT4 street passes.
