Personally I think it is only the story that keeps it interesting for me. Gameplay the repetition feels more noticeable compared to other MMOs. For better or worse, I enjoy the achievements in World of Warcraft. Gives me a reason to do stuff a little differently.

noodles should be hot; I can't eat sushi

Soba and somen noodles are traditionally served cold and sushi is just an example. Just because you can't eat it doesn't invalidate it as a food that is best served cold.

MrMelodramatic posted...

coffee is best when cold; so is tea; cocoa is best at room temperature

Which are all subjective. Coffee and tea in my opinion have better taste and aroma when hot.

what is black sesame

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_sesame_soup

Strange the Wiki site describes it as a soup. It is usually served as a dessert drink in various Chinese cafes. But I guess since it is usually consumed via a spoon it could be described as a soup.

Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world was one of the richest nations of south America and now the are taking lines to buy toilet paper.

Besides corruption and bad management, which plenty of countries have, isn't the drop in oil prices also what's hurting them? Was oil their main and only export? Did they have any other major ones?

Unlike other oil rich countries like the Middle East it didn't seem Venezuela put in enough effort to find an alternative export. They didn't seem to "future proof" their market well enough.

Yes and no. There should be some incentive to encourage people to research or work in such fields to help/save others beyond that warm fuzzy feeling. But at the same time the cost for such service shouldn't be so extreme that some patients end up trading the ability to live but be in debt for most of their life.

If you want to grind, that's fine. If it kills your interest in playing the game at all and you don't want to finish it, it's time to step back and rethink your priorities.

For some odd reason this varies between games. I lost interest with Suikoden but for Final Fantasy Tactics somehow I found joy in grinding out the levels and maxing out the classes.

Oh, as for Suikogaiden...I thought there was a fan translation being made a few years ago. I should check on that.

Aye, there's fanmade one. I was just hoping for an official translation.

Not me in particular but my friends were. We planned a golf theme bar crawl in the downtown of Fullerton, CA where maybe in one block there were already several bars. We had rules setup and whatnot where not drinking a pint at each bar is par two, going to the restroom is par one, etc, etc.

My friends started at maybe 5-6pm and I joined in at 8pm so they were already hammer. I think we even had a security guard following us around as I saw the same guy in each of the bars we went to and he kept talking into a mic piece. By our third or so bar, after I arrived, bouncers were already denying our group. I was allowed in but my friends weren't. I think we called it soon after that. Overall it was still fun but I can't imagine starting that early and still drinking at 10pm.

It's really not that hard of a game, you don't need to grind for stuff.

I know but I just wanted to stack Water Rune pieces on my characters in my second playthrough. Overkill but I wanted that sense of being "Godlike". I recall a few boss fights where only my main character was alive but his 4-5 stacks of Water Rune pieces kept him alive.

Interesting, thank you for the suggestion. I thought after III was when the series went downhill but didn't realize V was well received. Pricing on eBay and Amazon doesn't seem too crazy.

"You must gather your party before venturing forth"
"Go for the eyes Boo! Go for the eyes!"

I tried to replay Suikoden some years back and but kinda killed my interest when I was grinding for Water Rune pieces. I had hoped to stack my main characters with them and never worry about healing ever again. I might give Suikoden III a chance some day but am not sure about IV and V. Pity Genso Suikogaiden 1 and 2 were never officially translated.

I don't know why but I was obsess with the world of Suikoden for a while. Maybe it was because of the various plots and conflicts that were going about and how many of characters returned to continue their story. My friend mentioned that it was based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms story.

"You must gather your party before venturing forth"

Yup. Friend and me replayed Secret of Mana about a year or two ago. We tried to get through Seiken Densetsu 3 but probably got only a quarter of the way. I enjoyed Secret of Evermore as well and wished it had co-op.

In my second time of playing Secret of Mana with my friend it felt so much easier. I think between him controlling one character and me actually leveling up my magic made a huge difference.

On another note, I have been finding myself replaying older games more so than playing new games. Hell, if it doesn't have co-op I will wait until the GotY edition is out with all the DLCs and on sale.

I love the explanation that was given.

This second video explains (in Korean) that the first man who runs up to the Deflating Pikachu is part of the event staff. Then a security guard runs up, because he doesn't realize the first man is staff. The second security guard runs up to tell the first security guard that the original man is staff.

I know there's a lot of issues going on but globally I'd like to see a better distribution of food and health care. It's weird because globally I believe we do produce enough food but simply lack the logistics or desire to distribute that food.

That's the other thing. Cars should theoretically be getting safer. And once self-driving cars become a thing, are those people still going to be charged insurance on them because they own and operate the car? Will it be at the same rate as non-self driving car owners?

My car has automated lane assist and cruise control. Which means I set it on the freeway and it will keep me in the lanes and automatically brake/speed up when necessary. It also has collision detection and automatic braking. Should I be paying the same amount in insurance as a car that is identical in cost to mine but doesn't have that safety feature?

Given that some states/insurances kinda consider both drivers at fault, I have doubts it will change. Its just baffling that you could be safely driving down a road, someone hit you, and now the insurance consider you a high risk policy holder and raise your premium.

Personally I am fine if car insurance was optional but in turn that could mean more of the burden would be on the insurance itself if the policy holder is hit by an uninsured driver.

so long as I don't cause some catastrophic accident.

The only benefit of having car insurance is preventing that catastrophic incident. Otherwise it will never pay off.

That's the thing though, we never know if/when we will get into a car accident or the extent of the damage. I'll agree it's one big gamble/lottery system but some folks might not be able to pay for these catastrophic incident and I am not sure if some folks want to "win" this gamble/lottery and end up having to "cash-in".

Nowadays cars have almost too much tech in them. If someone rear-end me it won't be just some hundreds to replace the bumper but probably some thousand or so for the bumper and sensors inside the bumper and this is just for a simple fender bender.

I'm still concern the American Heritage Care Act is gonna base insurance credit on a person's age instead of age and income. Not everyone at 60+ years old is well off.

rynobot_sad posted...

All insurance is bullshit.

Do you have enough money saved up to cover your arse if anything goes wrong with your health, car, etc? I am not suggesting insurances are perfect but for some folks they don't have this backup money. The annual premium they pay might be far cheaper than whatever bill they will be hit with if shit hits the fan.

Two friends and I did Quick Play for the first time and it was actually fun. I think the first three games had players who seemed new as they didn't run away from our attacks. I was killing players with Murky's melee attack. Fourth game actually had one or two players who knew what they were doing so we had to play smarter there.

By the fifth game the opposing team definitely knew what they were doing. Didn't help that my friends and I were less coordinated and I was getting cocky. I thought I could sneak in with Sylvanas but unlike the previous games, they didn't ignore me. Our two teammates said they were new and after it was obvious we weren't going to win they left the game. My two friends and I stayed in the game and made the opposing team fight for every foot they gained. I was surprise we survived three 100% Zerg swarms in Braxis Holdout before losing. I had expected us to lose a bit faster with two AIs on our team and a full Zerg rush.

Last game had a Chromie that my friends and I were just getting annoyed with. Before losing the game us three just rushed that player but somehow killed that Chromie along with a Muradin and L-Ming. I don't know if they just got careless or it was a pity death.

They also had to reveal their identities to the public which is beyond dumb, and as soon as someone did it in one part their family and friends were targeted.

If I understand it correctly, paid vacation leave is not required across the States, right? I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth too much but politicians being politicians, regardless of party, I have a hard time believing they always have the common people's well being in their hearts. By giving folks paid vacation instead of overtime pay could this indirectly be an attempt to fight against future bills that would required paid vacation leave across the States?
