Conversely, too many good games get bad reviews because of lacking endgame. So go play the next thing in your overflowing backlog. Some games do what they came for, and that's fine.

It's like giving a bad movie review because the concession stand was closed when you left the cinema.

Months are dumb. Inconsistent lengths, the names are out of sync (OCTober isn't month 8), pretend to be based on lunar cycles but not, etc.

Give us Year/Day date formats. Extra new year holiday on leap years.

Is this where someone posts the relevant xkcd about too many standards?

We did run fine on utes, but they're getting hard to find now. You can move anything with an aluminium tray and a bit of imagination.

I just hire a flat bed ute when I need to move a couch. It does the job better, costs peanuts by comparison, and still takes up less space.

Not saying some people don't need to move big things regularly, but too many use this justification when it doesn't actually stack up.

So much of it has been lost too. We could do better, though. Teaching what we can would at least teach the general skill of learning languages.

Indonesian is an underrepresented option in my opinion. They're neighbours and the language is relatively easy. Couldn't hurt to improve relations a bit. Might make a better impression during the customary pilgrimage to Bali.

Do we really even need months? They don't even line up with the lunar cycle like they pretend to do.

Just give us Year/Day. On leap years we get an extra long New Year holiday.

Futurama x No Man's Sky.

Yes please?

That would be kind of hilarious. You can use your powers to help the local townsfolk... but they're all just the worst, so you can also be an instrument of karma.

This would change my life more than any conventional super power.

If it's just enough to beat out the house advantage, it might be all you need.

It's like how when you were a kid, you thought quicksand was something you would need to be aware of as an adult in the big wide world. In my undergrad, mod everywhere. Very important knowledge. Now not so much.
