Mexico city is a language learner's paradise

I'm a strong A2 in Spanish and just spent a few weeks in Mexico City.

Only one person spoke English to me and he was a doctor. Everyone else spoke Spanish. Even when I didn't understand, they would just continue speaking Spanish more slowly or phrased differently.

Contrast to my experience in Taipei speaking Chinese (I am B2 Chinese roughly), even when I'd speak Chinese at a B2 level maybe 40% of the people would answer in English.

It honestly just removed a lot of the anxiety of needing to understand the first time. It was ok if I didn't understand, because they would repeat it slower and there was never the fear they would switch to English. I loved it.

The 'City Appearance' for Ocean Paradise origin species should be a bit more submerged

Mild disappointment at the lack of sexy Atlantisy backgrounds (like this sort of thing ) on those planets.

Apart from spaceports or settlements for xeno immigrants, there's not likely to be much in the way of terrestrial construction and all the major cities would be in the depths.

Since Captain Marvel proved that Guns & Roses exists in the MCU, that means that the song "Paradise City" also existed, which means that the lyrics about Captain America was an actual diss while he was still in ice.

The scene where she's remembering herself and Maria singing karaoke in the bar, she's wearing a G&R T-shirt. Wonder if the writers weren't directly thinking of that reference when writing that scene?

Are there any maps very simlar in size and style to Burnout Paradise or City Car Driving?

I'd been trying to prepare kids to drive in the real world via video games (stay on the right side of the road, follow traffic signals, obey speed limit, learn the map, follow the gps, resist the temptations of Burnout Paradise, pretend like I'll make you pay for every scratch and dent, etc.) and the damage system in BeamNG is great for what I'm doing with them. However my laptop struggles a bit with the larger default maps and they don't have quite as much of what I like in City Car Driving or the highway area of Burnout Paradise.
