- Comment on Some people talk about what they've seen but most talk about what they've heard. It sounds the same but it's a big difference. 11 hours ago:
I have yet to hear a ghost story from someone who actually have seen a ghost.
They all have heard other people seeing a ghost.
- Comment on What's the equivalent of rose coloured glasses for always seeing something in a negative perspective? 19 hours ago:
Someone can probably create an app for that with AR glasses.

- Comment on Old School Rally scratched our ‘90s arcade racing itch... then promptly disappeared 2 days ago:
Sega Rally nearly took the most coins from me at the arcade, only second to Street Fighter 2.

Language used in the Philippines, if I recall correctly.
- Comment on Has anyone ever read the book series “Biff, Chip & Kipper” as a kid? 1 week ago:
Not as a kid, but as a parent.
Wonderful books for early readers.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
Fantasy Life (the original on 3DS)
I tried it last year but got lost and stuck, because I played it like an action RPG.
This time around I play it like a life sim (which it is), and I love it.
- Comment on In languages which use complex written characters (such as Chinese's logographs), is there an equivalent to English's "text speak" shorthand? 1 week ago:
There are different input methods. I use phoenetic one so I only have to type 3 letters and select the character.
There is also "quick" input method which you only need to pay attention to 2 parts of the character when you type, then it gives you a selection of the most likely characters.
- Comment on In languages which use complex written characters (such as Chinese's logographs), is there an equivalent to English's "text speak" shorthand? 1 week ago:
Yes. For example in Chinese underground metro is 地下鐵路 roughly “ground under metal road”.
The shorthand is 地鐵, roughly “ground metal”. And everyone understands that as the metro.
- Comment on The worst part of getting old is that you get less and less "first experiences" and are always comparing current with previous ones 1 week ago:
Yeah I just re-watched Men in Black and it felt like a new movie to me.
- Comment on The worst part of getting old is that you get less and less "first experiences" and are always comparing current with previous ones 1 week ago:
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen. More to do than can ever be done.
You can still have lots of first experiences if you seek.
The bigger problem is with increased responsibility, less time and less energy.

In lower case it is just solid water.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale is on! Discuss deals in the comments and recommend some great games! 2 weeks ago:
It looks more realistic but it breaks immersion when they turn out to be not interactive.
But yes I agree that CP2077 has a realistic looking crowded city.
- Comment on If you could have any vision-related superpower, what would it be? 2 weeks ago:
Death note.
- Comment on Hypothesis: Modern retro-inspired indies are much more enjoyable than the retro games themselves 2 weeks ago:
It still depends on the genre and what games you are exposed to. Super Mario Bros 3 is still the best 2D platformer of all time, I am not aware of any indie game even close to the polish of SMB3.
- Comment on Hypothesis: Modern retro-inspired indies are much more enjoyable than the retro games themselves 2 weeks ago:
Depends on the game. There are no indie games better than the original Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI on the SNES.

I think Skyrim feels more alive because you can talk to every NPC and most of them have unique conversations.
Most NPCs in CP2077 are animated decorations.

Yep. Remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.
- Comment on Sometimes when I think about US politics, I worry. But then I remember this is a country that had gone through a civil war, numerous scandals, a great depression and dust bowl, two world wars, 3 weeks ago:
I didn't start the comparison. It was the OP who said "We are the Florida of the world."
- Comment on Sometimes when I think about US politics, I worry. But then I remember this is a country that had gone through a civil war, numerous scandals, a great depression and dust bowl, two world wars, 3 weeks ago:
Japan might be the expert:
Totally decimated in WWII, including two nuclear bombings. Earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, volcanic eruptions. Fukushima diaster. Tokyo Sarin gas attack. Economic crash, ageing population, mass suicides. - Comment on Sometimes when I think about US politics, I worry.

I don't see how America is special relative to "the world". Many countries have gone through much more than that.
- Comment on Sometimes when I think about US politics, I worry. But then I remember this is a country that had gone through a civil war, numerous scandals, a great depression and dust bowl, two world wars, 3 weeks ago:
It is more like saying that if you survived a stroke, you will live forever.
- Comment on Sometimes when I think about US politics, I worry. But then I remember this is a country that had gone through a civil war, numerous scandals, a great depression and dust bowl, two world wars, 3 weeks ago:
Are you saying that the country has survived through things, so you don't worry any more? Not sure if I understand your logic.
- Comment on Is flirting redundant? 3 weeks ago:
I think flirting is like the prologue of an RPG, in many cases the best part.
