As distances vanish and the people can flow freely from place to place, society will cross a psychological specific heat boundary and enter a new state. No longer a solid or liquid, we have become as a vapor and will expand to fill all available space. And like a gas, we shall not be easily contained.

What boundaries will you transgress?
What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and you shall become master of the output.
-- Chairman Sheng-ji Yang, "Essays on Mind and Matter"
Will you succumb to the Mind Worms?
As the writhing, teeming mass of mindworms swarmed over the outer perimeter, we saw the defenders recoil in horror. "Stay calm! Use your flame guns!" shouted the commander, but to no avail. It is well know that the Mind Worm Boil uses psychic terror to paralyze its prey, and then carefully implants ravenous larvae into the brains of its still-conscious victims. Even with the best weapons, only the most disciplined troops can resist this horrific attack.

Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,

Or ascend to transcendence?
I shall not confront Planet as an enemy, but shall accept its mysteries as gifts to be cherished. Nor shall I crudely seek to peel the layers away like the skin from an onion. Instead I shall gather them together as the tree gathers the breeze. The wind shall blow and I shall bend. The sky shall open and I shall drink my fill.

"No longer mere earthbeings and planetbeings are we, but bright children of the stars! And together we shall dance in and out of ten billion years, celebrating the gift of consciousness until the stars themselves grow cold and weary, and our thoughts turn again to the beginning."

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
He was indeed a short, short, tiny man.
does the context make it any less audacious?
The plot is there but it's not really forced upon you; it's up to the player to discover it and piece it together, and you may miss the plot completely.
But if you play through the game enough times, read every quote, and watch every video, there's a pretty clear storyline that emerges, and it's a good one.

I'm curious.
Or is it even a restaurant as well as a bar
It's kind of ridiculous how many random quotes I still remember from that great game.
I'm not even hating, I mean, sales is tough.

Agreed
The great part of AC was how many of the technologies, especially later on, really didn't actually seem like great things. Which was brilliant, since so much of history is the development of things which really aren't that swell at all, or that have huge human costs.
Then curse them and salt the earth. Someone unhappy with a secret Santa gift is a jerk.
i know they'll be nice and stuff

Yep. Especially because we have 7 leguas, which is what patron used to buy when they were starting up, but moved on because 7 leaguas wouldn't up their production numbers. And 7 leguas is AWESOME.
Also I don't think she's hurting for numbers.
Kinda feel bad for him, getting stopped by EVERYONE on the street because he is who he is. But he is super friendly with the people... Far better than I would be in that situation.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
