This Woman* answers correctly

Edit*: Sorry ma'am.

Ahaha. How do I land a work environment like that? (recently graduated with B.S. in physics).

I can identify so much with this. My family is Mexican-American, with my Grandparents being the ones to immigrate from Chihuahua to Los Angeles. My Grandfather was especially adamant on talking to us in english, not allowing us to mix Spanish and English, and raising us as good 'ol 'muricans.

Now that I'm older, I can tell that I don't quite fit with most places in the US; everything from food preferences to cultural attitudes shifted me and my brother's personalities quite clearly. Yet, none of us speak Spanish, there are no old recipes to draw on. We don't know anything of contemporary Mexican culture. Our music tastes are decidedly early 20th century Spanish bourgeois (even though we grew up extremely poor).

As a result, neither my brothers nor I fit in with our American friends. Nor do we fit in with our Mexican-American, or Mexican friends. The cultural divide has, in a sense, left us on a metaphorical Island, surrounded by an uncomfortable Sea.

Depending on circumstances, us 2nd and 3rd generational people can face a continuing identity crisis. I'd be curious to hear more of how you dealt with this.

Hi Vasiliy,

I'm the sole developer behind GeoWorld, and have gotten a ton of feedback (both positive and negative) about how science-based realism impacts the user experience. What are your thoughts on game mechanics based on realism?

Also, are there opportunities for scientists with some programming background to get involved in game development?

-thnks!
