Bruce Faulconer's soundtrack would be really sweet if you stripped out like half of the channels from every track. The baseline and ripping guitar are sweet but then there's a ton of frantic chip-tuny/midi stuff on top of it that just screams "this was composed in the 90s and children were the target audience." Like the Genesis had a sweet sound chip but that doesn't mean it's then a good idea to mix Genesis-style beats with real instrumental work.

16 episodes of All Systems Goku, and 16 times someone brings up some apocrypha about when the series was or wasn't supposed to end (and like 100 arguments comparing some aspect of the quality of Kai vs Funimation vs OG Japanese). It's like clockwork.

This game isn't arithmetic, but it is definitely math. The first half of the game you can kind of just bumble around to find solutions, and then use algorithmic thinking to increase efficiency (whether that's minimizing ticks or chips), but in the back half of the game the algorithmic thinking becomes mandatory. It's possible to bumble together solutions for these but when you start having to use integrated chips to reduce the problem into smaller sub-functions with limited inputs and outputs whether you realize it or not you're doing math to solve that problem.

I don't know how much of Goku eating in the chamber makes it into the Kai cut but there's certainly a feast after they come back out.

@jume1989: No, no time travel in real life. At least as far as we know.. anything is technically possible but the preservation of causality is currently fundamental to our physical theories.

I like DBZ style time travel where different timelines are generated every time someone travels backwards in time. It is the most logically consistent. Harry Potter style is also pretty decent, but it kind of strips the characters of free will / agency. If everything that happens has to happen in the exact way it is currently happening, and the time travel actions already were a part of the story at that point in time, then the characters are restricted in what they can and can't do while time travel is happening. It can make events feel somewhat contrived and hokey, like when Harry's patronus is the one he saw earlier in the book.

@jume1989:

The way that special relativity affects the subject passage of time in no way shape or form allows what anyone would consider "time travel" in the real universe. The preservation of causality is one of the fundamental axioms from which the whole theory was constructed. There are no time loops, there are no branching timelines. It's all one single stream marching forward, and everything is consistent even if a day of subjective time somewhere in high gravity or at a high velocity is the equivalent of years outside of a gravity well or at a lower velocity.
