Cool story bro.

I think you summed it up in your post right away. A movie that's only selling point is flashy visual effects is not a good movie.

I'm in the US and I don't know a single school that does the pledge past elementary (ages 5-10) school.  My school even stopped by about 4th grade (age 9)
 
It's not a big deal though.

Was kind of weird that you never left the galaxy except on one occasion but otherwise I prefer smaller environments if it means better performance.

I like the visual style. Sort of a faux low-fi thing going on.

Well the video kept me watching despite the music, I suppose that says something.

Don't even understand why this is an issue. Is changing a disc once every 10 hours that big of a deal?

The weirdest part of this story is the publisher, Paradox Interactive. They usually publish super niche history-based strategy games.

If that's even mildly shocking to you, you need to smash your router right now.

Saying don't be a troll is sort of missing the point. People aren't trolling to make friends, they're doing it to annoy you. They're fully aware the mods don't like it.
