As a former user who still has no problem with people using, the problem is the current testing methods. Do you want to take a chance that the crane operator doing work on the building in your city is completely sober from Sunday night's smoke session? This makes sense for anyone operating equipment, but again, if we just had a way to test on the spot like we do with alcohol, this could all go away.

I think he means re-imagining the city itself. You'd have to do drastic redesigns to it to make it right for a modern game, it wouldn't even be the same map at that point, which is okay.

Up to GTA V's release I'd say it was a given that GTA VI would be Vice City re-imagined. Now I have no idea if that will ever happen, but I hope it does. They could condense the southeast in general, with Vice City being the central area but have a bunch of swampland outside of the city and eventually a smaller Louisiana/New Orleans area. Lot of diversity in the geography to play around with.

Not a fan after the first listen, but I also didn't really like Currents. It's weird, I love spacey synth stuff but for Kevin/Tame I've always preferred the straightforward psych rock sounds of Innerspeaker and Lonerism. Appreciate him continuing to branch out into different sounds though.

Ruth Price 911 call.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3j_xlj9K08

Apparently this is used in emergency operator training as a shining example of how not to handle a call because the perpetrator stands a good chance at getting away, as was the case here.
I've heard that it actually was a fabricated call that they made to train operators, do we know if Ruth Price an actual person?

I think it still falls under the category of logical explanation. Not that they deserved it of course, but hikers getting killed in foreign countries is common enough to not really get to me anymore

I follow a bunch of youtube channels that cover a lot of the stories that have been discussed. A lot of the ones where people end up getting killed or go missing due to a position they put themselves in or the killer's desperation (spurned lover, thief, etc) don't hit me as hard anymore. There's one case where 2 girls went missing while hiking on vacation, I think in South America, and there was some creepy evidence like random photos being taken with the girls' phones and whatnot but I mean...they're hiking in a foreign country, there's logical steps that could've led them to get lost and die in the wilderness.

Serial killers, random acts of violence, and the vanishings without a trace get me though. There's one video where people pull into the driveway of their mom's house and see 2 people crouched outside her window. They just stay still until another person comes out of the bushes and fires on the people in the car. Everyone got away okay but the people were never caught and the mom had no enemies or anything, would've just been a completely random murder (or hopefully just burglary but with how trigger happy they were who knows).

I'm talking from the gameplay aspect, not the "narrative" aspect, for lack of better term. Ludo-iconographic dissonance? Uff.

Like yes, we know lightsabers are supposed to cut everything, but for the purposes of gameplay, they don't. Compared to that, and not lore, some skills are win buttons, as in they greatly reduce the effort required to beat an enemy/group of enemies.
As they should, the game throws road blocks at you the entire time and you overcome them to earn the skills. There's part of the narrative that is focused on you becoming a stronger jedi and the game's intent is to make you feel like someone who can rip through crowds of stormtroopers by the end.

I mean thats basically any game with a sword or a gun ever.
And a lot of games have crit hit skills or enemies with weak points where you can one hit/one shot, but I don't seeing those being called "win buttons"

It's a decent first entry in a series that could be great. I hope they don't strip away your skills at the start of the second game, you should be just as powerful as you are at the end of this one.

As for "win buttons", the game is actually unrealistically (relative to Star Wars realism) stacked against that idea. Your lightsaber should cut through every animal and stormtrooper upon contact instantaneously, yet that doesn't happen because one-hitting everything is boring in a video game. Force powers + lightsaber help you rip apart groups, but...why shouldn't they?

This.
In case of a crash landing, they don't want fuel to cause a fire/explosion.
That wasn't why they were dumping it, the plane was too heavy to land with the amount of fuel it had at takeoff. They were crossing the pacific ocean so the thing was loaded, expected to be much lighter when they reached their destination. They experienced engine failure immediately after takeoff, turned around to land back at LAX and dumped fuel to land. They weren't preparing for a crash landing.

I wouldn't have even minded if Rian Johnson had directed all 3. Just some consistency in the 3 scripts would've been nice. Each director just kept tossing out everything from the last one. Hell, get a new director for TROS and let us have a fun debate between the 3 directors' films.

I agree but they can visit you in prison. Do you think they wouldn't believe you're innocent?
I'd imagine in a rape charge some would and some wouldn't. Most would obviously like to believe it's not true but if you've been locked up for it there's probably at least a few pieces of evidence that would make people second guess how they think of you, regardless of your innocence.

If you let it eat at you the entire 10 years, well, you wouldn't even survive the full 10 years. 10 years is a long fucking time when you're just in a prison cell, you have to learn to let go of the anger to even function after a certain point. The most introverted people probably only really spend a few hours in their head a day. Prisoners spend nearly every waking moment in their own head, there's a lot of crazy shit prisoners have overcome mentally while in prison. And letting go of the anger doesn't mean that you let go of the entire incident either.

The worst thing for me would be if a friend or family member passed away before I was exonerated. You'd hope that deep down they knew you were innocent the whole time but never having them see the outcome for real would be heartbreaking.
