One thing I truly enjoy about the avatar and Modern Sonic's stages, or at least in the 3D segments, is the sheer amount
of multiple pathways there are, no matter how convoluted they may seem.There are also stages where both the avatar and Modern Sonic
run along side each other, which opens up the multiple pathways
even more, and instead
of switching a character
out, each
of their moves is assigned to a specific button, making them act as one character, which take some getting used to due to the visual appearance
of both characters appearing on screen, but is definitely optimal.There's also some level designs with certain gimmicks: at one point you're playing pinball in the middle
of a bright forest with classic Sonic, and in that same forest, you'll be playing pinball with some enemies down a
water slide with the avatar, were the control starts to get kind
of out of hand, while Modern Sonic will face a boss that combines the level design from Lost World with this game's boost mechanics, which was probably the intention for the departure in the 2013 game.
, you are lying on the floor
of your place looking up, a small draft
runs through the room, between the door and the window, and all things seem perfectly still, wind only disturbs concrete in imperceptible ways, or it may take millions
of years to be noticed and, as the air
runs through the space, all your plants move and all is animated and all is alive somehow, and here are the thoughts
of all men in all ages and lands, they are not original with me, and that wind upon your plants is the common air that bathes the globe, and we have no ambitions
of universalism, and I'm glad we don't, but the particles
of air bring traces
of pollen and are charged with electricity, desert sand, maybe sea
water, and these particles were somewhere else before they were dragged here, and their route will not end by the door
of this house, and if we tell each other stories, one can imagine that they might have been bathed by this same air, regrouped and recombined, recharged as a vehicle for sound, swirling as it moves, bringing the sound
of a drum, like that Kabuki story where a fox recognizes the voice
of its parents as a girl plays a drum made
out of their skin, or any other event, and yet I always felt your work never tells stories, I tend to think that narrative implies a past tense,
even if that past was just five seconds ago, one second ago was already the past, and human memory is irrelevant in geological time, plants and fish know not what tomorrow will bring, neither rocks nor metal do, but we all live here now, and we all need visions and we all need dreams, and as long as your metal sculptures vibrate they are always in the Present, and their past is a material truth alien to narrative, but well, maybe narrative does not imply a past tense at all and they are writing their own story while they gently move and breathe, and maybe nothing was really still before the wind came in, passing through the window as if through an irrational portal to make those plants dance, but everything was already moving and breathing in near complete silence, and if you're focused enough you can feel the pulse
of a concrete wall and you can feel the tectonic movements
of the earth, and you can hear the magma flowing under our feet and our bones crackling like a wild fire, and you can see the light
of fireflies reflected in polished metal, and there is nothing magical about that, it is just the way things are, and sometimes we have to raise our voice because the music is too loud and let your clothes move to a powerful bass, sound waves and bright lights, powerful like the sun, blinding us if we stare for too long, but isn't it the biggest sign
of love, like singing to a corn field, and all acts
of kindness that are not pitiful nor utilitarian, that are truly horizontal as everything around us is impregnated with the deadliest violence, vertical and systemic, poisonous, and sometimes you just want to feel the sun burning your skin and look for life in all things declared dead, a kind
of vitality that operates like corrosion, strong as the wind near the sea, transforming all things,
We decided to dig a small pond (about 10» diameter) for the fish, because we agreed that

As we watch the sun go down,
evening after
evening, through the smog across the poisoned

ran out of foresight and air and food and
water and ideas,» or, «They went on playing politics until their world collapsed around them.»

To point
out just a couple
of things: — oceans warming slower (or cooling slower) than lands on long - time trends is absolutely normal, because
water is more difficult both to warm or to cool (I mean, we require both a bigger heat flow and more time); at the contrary, I see as a non-sense theory (made by some serrist, but don't know who) that oceans are storing up heat, and that suddenly they will release such heat as a positive feedback: or the
water warms than no heat can be considered ad «stored» (we have no phase change inside oceans, so no latent heat) or oceans begin to release heat but in the same time they have to cool (because they are losing heat); so, I don't feel strange that in last years land temperatures for some series (NCDC and GISS) can be heating up while oceans are slightly cooling, but I feel strange that they are heating up so much to reverse global trend from slightly negative / stable to slightly positive; but, in the end, all this is not an evidence that lands» warming is led by UHI (but, this effect, I would not exclude it from having a small part in temperature trends for some regional area, but just small); both because, as writtend, it is normal to have
waters warming slower than lands, and because lands» temperatures are often measured in a not so precise way (despite they continue to give us a global uncertainity in TT values which is barely the instrumental's one)-- but, to point
out, HadCRU and MSU
of last years (I mean always 2002 - 2006) follow much better
waters» temperatures trend; — metropolis and larger cities temperature trends actually show an increase in UHI effect, but I think the sites are few, and the covered area is very small worldwide, so the global effect is very poor (but it still can be sensible for regional effects); but I would not
run out a small warming trend for airport measurements due mainly to three things: increasing jet planes traffic, enlarging airports (then more buildings and more asphalt — if you follow motor sports, or simply live in a town / city, you will know how easy they get very warmer than air during day, and how much it can slow night - time cooling) and overall having airports nearer to cities (if not becoming an area inside the city after some decade
of hurban growth, e.g. Milan - Linate); — I found no point about UHI in towns and villages; you will tell me they are not large cities; but, in comparison with 20-40-60 years ago when they were «countryside», many small towns and villages have become part
of larger hurban areas (at least in Europe and Asia) so examining just larger cities would not be enough in my opinion to get a full view
of UHI effect (still remembering that it has a small global effect: we can say many matters are due to UHI instead
of GW, maybe
even that a small part
of measured GW is due to UHI, and that GW measurements are not so precise to make us able to make good analisyses and predictions, but not that GW is due to UHI).
They spoke last, after the nine coal industry and coal - allied politician witnesses, who bemoaned the burden
