A rodent, it is about the same size as a cockroach though some can grow up to the size of a German Shepherd (although only in very, very rare cases). They eat worms and are rather dumb; they cause a nuisance because they'll eat wires and electronics falsely because they think they are worms. As you can imagine, this results in their death as well as the breaking of electronics; and when they die, they're usually inside buildings leaving a bad stench around until the corpse is found.

SullyMcGully Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 is the primary instrument of classical music, with violins being relegated to jazz, big band, and marching band duties. This results in Mozart's music being significantly more warlike, which causes World War I to happen in 1802.

Dragoncat Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Could see the future. Ancient people would often ask them to do fortune telling, but they would rarely use their gift on outsiders, which made people bitter and wars were fought over it. Historians don't know what they thought of having their people featured in movies about training dragons, because they never said anything about it. Perhaps their future telling ability didn't extend that far. In an alternate universe, there is a holiday that celebrates... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that holiday, a lot of human teeth are lost for elephant jewelry construction purposes and to make miniature pianos from human teeth for the great "elephant enslavement" concert that happens on the same day. (this alternate universe was brought to you by the TV sitcom Mr. Young, so don't blame me for thinking it up. Blame the makers of Mr. Young for their sick idea of making miniature pianos out of human teeth) In an alternate universe, a common source of energy that people use for their cities that doesn't exist here is...

Randoman Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 still relied on Alex Kidd as their main mascot and never created Sonic. As a result, Sega wasn't as successful as they were in this universe, at least during the 90s era (they actually went 3rd party in 1992 in that universe). Though on the flipside, during 2003 and onward, their success with the "Mutating Monkeys" franchise (which allowed you to create a monkey protagonist that could "mutate" and change however you wanted them to which created both perks and drawbacks gameplay wise) that Sega created got them to surpass Capcom, Konami-Bandai, Electronic Arts, and Namco in terms of company income per year (and they still surpass them to this day), but Nintendo, Microsoft, and Apple still are the most dominant game companies overall.

Protestantism is rather obscure there, to the point that there's more Buddhists than Protestants in that universe (with that universe having around the same amount of Buddhists as this universe, give or take a 1000 Buddhists). (that's the best answer I could come up with, after reading about The Reformation 5 minutes ago on wikipedia) In an alternate universe, mods for online communities...

Companies like Nintendo, Hudson Soft, WayForward, and indies (the indies that didn't rely on business practices like free to play) took a while to recover from the 2018 gaming crash, but in early 2019 were able to get back momentum in the gaming market due to completely doing away with bad business practices and them focusing on making complete quality games that are worth paying the full price for. Gaming market practices like micro-transactions, pay to win, and having a game's total DLC cost more than 2/3rds of the base game were also outlawed, and the game director would have to pay insane fines to the point that they'd be losing more than twice the amount of money that those practices would have gained them.

Pengaius Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 The additional competition on the games market largely stinted the indie gaming industry while also hitting some of the more popular franchises such as Mario and Zelda this in turn led to the production of fewer games for these series as well as the production of new series being prioritised this over saturation of franchises led to an all out games war as hardcore fans were unable to afford to play all the games resulting in the decline of many beloved franchises as Nintendo collapsed into the indie game industry.
