Ah, you got me on the nostrils. Alright..
My point was that the discussion is silly/ absurd/ meaningless. Yet here I am... Caught in it.
So... Ears. Those have a membrane (so the air pressure inside transmits the sound to small bones)... I was considering that given a (healthy) membrane the hole is just a cavity. Bt then, the other side does have air. No idea how does it go in and out. But scuba or free divers do compensate the pressure on the other side of the membrane when descending... So the air in there goes in and out of the body in seconds. Might be connected to... Nostrils? Haha. My best guesstimate.
Fuck this game xD
Sounds like my experiences with Ultima Online. Right before they added paladins and necromancers, the shard where I played was quite "raw". You really got the human experience, with everything: misery, dignity, psycopaths, etc.
