  • I don’t know anything about how this character is used in the game, so please pardon my ignorance. Having said that: the bow tie has a huge advantage in that it never has to move. If the duck waddles along, the tie should move side-to-side independently. If the duck jumps, is hit, or near wind or an explosion, the tie will need independent animations for each circumstance. If the duck is carried, the neck tie should always point down, unless it’s fast or wobbly; then the tie should move accordingly. I’m sure there are other circumstances I haven’t mentioned, but you get the point.

    Wow. I have overthought this.

    From a development perspective, I lean strongly towards the bow tie. It’s much simpler. Also, as another commenter mentioned, that top hat demands a bow tie.


  • I used to live in the south. Even in an area heavily populated by northerners, folks DID NOT know how to drive in the slightest bit of snow. I just left home early and laughed.

    I also found it amusing when I first heard “snowflake” used as an insult, and have chucked internally each time since. In the south, snowflakes are hated, but more than that, they’re feared, and bringers of “chaos” if you refuse to learn how to interact harmoniously with them. Using “snowflake” as an insult says much more about the speaker than it does about you. I am proud to be a snowflake!





  • America has made a LOT of mistakes, and started (or backed) plenty of wars/revolutions. We’re the only major industrialized nation without some form of healthcare for all. The gap between rich and poor is tremendous, and only growing larger. Our legal system has some flaws, to say the least. America is the richest, most powerful country in the world. We didn’t get that way by always making ethical decisions. There’s a great deal of legitimate criticism out there.

    Plus, this is a worldwide site. If Americans themselves don’t always like how the country is run, why should people of other countries always speak positively of America?
