Xi rides dragons and also “rides” dragons. xi/drag person-independent pronouns. That means xi’s pronouns are the same in first, second, and third person.

There’s no such thing as absolute speed in the universe. But there is relative speed. That’s how fast something is going, from something else’s point of view. The speedometer on your car measures your speed relative to the road. But another car on the road next to you would say your speed is 0, because from their point of view you aren’t moving. That is to say, you’re going the same speed.
We used to think relative speeds just added or subtracted together normally. The same rules you learned in math class. But Einstein figured out that isn’t true. See, Einstein and many others knew that the relative speed of light is always the same. No matter how fast you’re going, light is faster. And always by the same amount. You can never get closer to the speed of light. It didn’t make sense to anyone until Einstein figured it out.
Einstein realised that the faster you’re going, the slower time passes. So even if you’re going at a million miles an hour, you just slow down, and now from your fast/slow point of view, light is still beating your speed by the same amount. You don’t experience time as slower, but anyone looking at you would see you moving in slow motion.
That’s how drag’s high school physics teacher explained it to drag. Drag oversimplified a bit, but all the important bits are there, and anyone could figure out the rest if they spent the time thinking about it. Anyone who thinks relativity is hard to explain doesn’t understand it. That’s what Einstein was saying.

Einstein said if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it.
Also drag likes your name.

You are right. And drag doesn’t want gender neutral pronouns.

Drag isn’t that pronoun. Drag is drag.

Oh, good news for you. They just released an update yesterday that separates the quests in the codex into story, side, and warframe quests. DE listened to player feedback and fixed the problem. Now you go to the codex terminal, you click on story quests, and it tells you what to do next.

Warframe is much more fun with friends. Friends will tell you that you don’t have to bother with all the currencies. You can just do the story missions.

Drag finished BOTW and now likes riding around Hyrule on a motorbike looking for koroks. Drag thinks the game is great if you use it as something to pick up and play a little bit of every now and then. Good game for bringing on airplanes and playing on the bus. Drag would have very much liked to have a game like that when drag was a child being dragged to boring dentist appointments and waiting to be picked up from school. Drag thinks maybe Nintendo is making games for children.

Drag can think of one counterexample: Warframe. But Warframe is also 100% free to play and free to participate in every content update and event. And Warframe is developed by an indie team from Fake London.

You’re talking about No Man’s Sky and Elite Dangerous. The whole point of Star Citizen is the realism.
Drag thinks hunger mechanics in a spaceship game are too much, though.

Drag is simply stating scientific fact. Drag doesn’t care what science deniers have to say to drag. It’s not drag’s fault if facts are controversial.

Drag’s conscience used to say that, back when drag ate dragons. It said the people who didn’t eat meat were better than drag. Drag didn’t like drag’s conscience saying that, so drag decided not to eat dragons. Dragons are intelligent creatures and loyal companions. Dragons are friends, not food.

And carnivores can be herbivorous. Dogs can be vegetarian no problem, and a while back humans solved the synthetic taurine problem. Turns out all animals are omnivores. Herbivores and carnivores are fake.

You forgot an important difference between ancient history and now. Now, when the empire falls it has the power to take the biosphere with it.

Drag saw Herbie and didn’t like it. Brum has much more character.
