I agree, I didn’t like the new combat system.
But I really like turn based combat. I don’t like to have to run around, spam buttons, or time anything right. I like to read and have time to make a decision. It’s a personal preference, but one that made me not get very far in the remake.

In the bio hacking world, yea. There are reprogrammable RFID implants that you can get. They are rather large though and kind of suck when trying to use. Check out dangerousthings.com

Let’s not build the infrastructure to improve people’s lives so our friend with the satellite internet he’s selling can make more money.

- Comment on Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"? 5 months ago:
Whichever path it takes. It will only go in a single path unless you have some incestuous relationships. And if that happens and multiple routes work, it doesn’t matter which one you take.
- Comment on Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"? 5 months ago:
So if you look at a family tree, the bloodline is the direct order from person a to person b, with everyone in the middle. It doesn’t include everyone else that isn’t in that direct path.
- Comment on My parents never did any extravagant trips like to Disney world or Sea world. Knowing what I know now I'm kinda grateful for that. 5 months ago:
These places have their goods and bads.
Disney in the past weren’t nearly so exploitive and expensive. They truly did give an extremely fun and entertaining experience to the guests. They did much better at treating their employees. They have pushed technological boundaries on the entertainment front. They built parks that have genuinely made millions happy. They aren’t perfect as a corporation and I have a shitload of gripes with their management and leadership, but they put out a pretty damn good product.
Nowadays, they do underpay and over charge. They are cashing in on nostalgia and not doing enough to foster that in the next generation. They’re no longer targeting family fun but are instead putting more towards the mid-20s to late 30s market. I haven’t felt it was worth the money in a long time.
Sea world. While they have done terrible things especially in the Orcas, they also put on a very, very entertaining theme park. They do fund a lot of research and coastal animal refuges.

Growing up in southern California. Disneyland was common, and so common that I ended up working there. It’s changed a lot in the last twenty years.
I still go to Disneyland regularly, but it’s always because I know someone that can still get me and my family in. I’m fortunate that I haven’t paid to go to Disneyland in over 16 years, and I’ve been hundreds of times. Now, I typically get disappointed when I’m there. I’ve seen the parks go downhill and the prices go way, way up.
I’ve been to Sea World growing up, since it was a two hour drive. And Lego Land. And Six Flags.
It’s not the parks that are spoiled, it’s the flights and hotels that make these things wild trips for spoiled kids.
- Comment on New car buyers driven to white or grey, with bright colours rarer than ever, data shows 5 months ago:
I remember a study that linked car colors with people’s perception of the economy or something. When people were optimistic, they bought brighter colors.
But all I want is fun brought back to cars. Give me neon, pastels, or bright colors. I’m sick of the monotony on the road of white, gray, and black. Even the reds and blues are darker and deeper. Give me a nice surf green or candy apple red.

Residential listings were “white pages” and businesses were “yellow pages.”
Yes, they were big, printed on very thin paper, with small typeface.
