I mean, I don't approve of it as DRM, but I don't think it's too ridiculous to design things assuming everyone has internet access at least periodically.

So someone who has limited bandwidth or a spotty connection shouldn't be allowed to play a game they bought and paid for in offline single player... just because? o.0

[Max White]

EA would say so, yea.
Oh wait, Sim City is an MMO now. And Castle Crashers is historical.

[Loud Whispers]

I've gone through all my life not knowing about the existence of figs. I've never eaten, felt or seen a fig before. Not even heard a description of one.
And now I realize I could just as easy search and find a fig in seconds.

Yet... I don't think it'd be the same.

I've got to find a fig and find it the right way.

Maybe plant a fig tree... Figs grow on trees right?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

....Maybe? Oh god. I don't know either!

[Max White]

Yes, they grow on trees, and are delicious.
Surly you have walked past them while shopping and not noticed?

[Blargityblarg]

I live around figs all the time, but I've never tried them, really. They do sure as shit grow on trees, though; we had a few at my high school. The leaves are very distinctive.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I've never seen a fig for sale. Must not be AMERICAN enough.

[Max White]

Your mind would be blown if you ever heard of a quandong then.

Nope! Just legumes and fruits, obviously excluding figs. And believe me, I have looked for figs in the markets before. It is not the right way apparently.
IT IS A SIGN FROM THE GODS OF FIG.

Your mind would be blown if you ever heard of a quandong then.

Kumquats are where it's at.

[Flying Dice]

Who needs figs when you have dates?

[Blargityblarg]

They probably can't deal with particularly low temperatures; they are, after all, a Mediterranean/Middle Eastern fruit, and not very easy to transport. I don't see fresh figs in supermarkets here, where one can (and my father has) grow a tree in your backyard; they only ever come dried.

Fakeedit: Also, loquats. Fuckin' ambrosia.

[Max White]

Loquats are good, I prefer pawpaw.

[Blargityblarg]

I could never deal with the smell of pawpaw, nor papaya.

[Max White]

Fresh pawpaw and mango is the greatest smoothy anybody ever made. 

[Blargityblarg]

Mango, like watermelon and strawberries, can be great or it can be terrible, depending on ripeness and fruit quality. Mango has a better probability of being fantastic than the other two, though.
