See the thing is, is that if every car is a self driving car, eventually all of them are going to know what the other is going to do, and when they codify how exactly these driverless cars are supposed to act, so will you. The future is driverless cars communicating with the other driverless cars around them, reducing…

The current legality is irrelevant, to be honest. They aren't illegal yet, and you can bet your ass that Waymo, Uber, Lyft, and whoever the fuck are all going to be lobbying to keep them legal. They might be competitors, but none of them have any interest in sabotaging their own business. Much like the Tobacco…

He's also visiting all 50 states and recently went to a Ford plant and helped assemble some trucks. He's gotta be running, which, I mean, it could be worse…and by could be, I mean it definitely already is.

The AV CLUB

Yeah, most edibles I've had taste like ass…but, I've watched Viceland, and Bong Appetite makes it all look easy…with a professional kitchen, and professional cooks, and a 5 or 6 figure weed pantry.

I broke down and bought Nier: Automata, and I'm maybe a couple hours into it. So far the combat has been the highlight, and I have to admit I spend a of time at camp just seeing what I can do with 2B, and getting consistent feel for the combat, which is incredibly satisfying when it clicks for me. Not much to say on…

Pretty much every problem I have with David Cage's games, is David Fucking Cage, especially when it comes to Beyond: Two Souls. I contend Beyond had performances, animation, and plot pieces that were waaaaaaaay to good for how David Cage fucked it all up. His stuff just ends up being less than the sum of it's parts.

That's why I've taken to buying the bags of the mini starbursts, which they don't wrap. Although that's not ideal, because all of the flavors mush together. Basically, life is pain.

Oh great, another stupid internet connected doodad. Man, when the machines gain sentience, they are going to be salty.

The anti-christianity read can be taken even further with that knowledge at the the Bottom of Mementos, all of the prisoners talk about how they want to stay in their cage, and not think for themselves (follow religious tenets) while they wait for the end of the world (rapture). The party gets pretty frustrated as you…

I finished it earlier today, as well, and I agree with pretty much everything you said there. Hopefully by the time I'm ready for another playthrough they've released some DLC that functions like a Golden edition, that way I can carry over all my progress for New Game +. You could use some more time with the team in…

It's such a random, out of nowhere scene, but it tells you more about Yusuke than a lot of his art musings.

Proficiency is a hard one, second (for me) to guts, which just didn't increase fast enough unless you are eating a whole lot of giant cheeseburgers. Charm, I just spent a lot of time in the bath house, because it's right there, and accessible from the outset.

Kawakami is great (and I ranked her up as fast as possible) but I dunno about the dating thing, she's more of a motherly sort of figure. But she is pretty great to have around. Coffee and curry making, laundry, massages, those are the things I want out of a mentor. Powerful fire magic, whips, and red skintight…

Makoto's great because she's the best parts of Chie (ass-kicker, justice bringer) and Mitsuru (student council president, all around tactician). The way they play up her naivete about her peers is also a great way of rounding her out. And yes, her persona being a motorcycle is one of the best surprises, and one of the…

Persona is a perfect fit for this sort of thing. The main bad in Persona 3 is literally the personified avatar of death, ending the world due to apathy, and the choice that is presented is either wipe your memory and just let it happen, or fight it…and die anyway. (Which doesn't happen, obviously, but the victory…

I don't know if you can skip the kindness check or not, but also make sure you keep the good fertilizer on you (you can buy it at the flower shop in Shinjuku) every 2 weeks or so, you can use it on the plant in your room, and it gives you free kindness. Ranking up Sojiro also gives you kindness (although rank 7 is…

Hooray for having P5 paused while commenting!

So, so good.

I don't doubt it, but by the time I get past P5 and am ready for another RPG it will be discounted regardless. It looks really, really good.
