but i think the elite will get 3.140 of the Pi we (the peasants) will end up with 0.001
We're not terraforming Mars. We'll get colonies there, though, if civilization doesn't crumble in the next decades.
Yes. to work on the fields to grow crops. how else we going to feed the rich?

Robots? Actually, maybe that's not a good idea.Yes. to work on the fields to grow crops. how else we going to feed the rich?
Probably when it's too late, messily and badly, and it will probably fail.

A bit cynical, perhaps, but the acclaimed board game terraforming Mars actually has some thoughtful science behind it. And yes, you play as mega corporations dividing up the planet.
Granted, it makes things sound a bit more cooperative(which it probably is: no single company or country will become powerful enough to do it by themselves), but you can bet the huge investments needed for it will draw the first borders on the planet.
The board game is of course an abstraction of the idea, but it's more realistic than just throwing things at the wall. After all, science fiction started out as an honest way to predict the future based on technological advancements.
And of course there'll be peasants. Best you can hope for is that it's not worth the first generation.

Just because we will be sharing a room doesn't mean I have changed my mind about sharing @Flame with you
Yes and avoid the shitty 2012 remake
They will make mars a penal colony and send poor blokes there to mine spice while they enjoy their extravagant vacations in tropical Greenland

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
