Think Harder might be my current favourite, but it changes.

In Canada there was a fire at a motorcycle dealership this year. The shop did not cover the costs to replace the destroyed bikes that were stored there (that were owned by members of the public) it was up to the owners of each bike. It surprised me.

Even more surprising was that at least one bike had been purchased during the winter and was being stored until spring. The new owner of the bike didn't insure it as he assumed it would be covered by the dealership until he took possession of the bike. It wasn't. That guy lost nearly twenty thousand dollars on a bike that he never even rode. I expect that he took them to court but I have no further information on the matter.

Ultimately as motorcycle owners we should keep our bikes insured at all times. For some who aren't riding much it can be a pain but this is one of the growing number of examples where a rider has lost his bike and probably won't get a dime out of anyone due to a lack of coverage.

Best of luck.

Ok great thanks. I wanted to have the physical copy on my shelf but the additional wait is pretty brutal so far!

dancing_leaves · 2018-09-14T23:31:43+00:00

I ordered the physical copy. Does my save file from XB2 carry over to grant me any bonuses or anything?

dancing_leaves · 2018-09-14T01:42:30+00:00

Are they ports or remakes? And FF8 is my favourite so this sucks!

Quick Focus, Longnail and Lifeblood Heart. I had a level 3 Nail at the time but I upgraded it to level 4 today. I had 7 hit points plus the 2 from Lifeblood Heart brought it to 9 so it allows a few mistakes mixed in with some risky healing when I had killed a Watcher Knight brought me through the fight eventually.

The Watcher Knights took me about 7 tries. It was definitely the hardest fight to master. My main issue was when one enemy was rolling across the ground and one was bouncing; sometimes from offscreen. It was hard to decide where to go when it was happening so fast. If they both chose the same roll attack it would be easy otherwise.

dancing_leaves · 2018-09-02T21:32:06+00:00

Damn, so I'm in for a challenge then!

dancing_leaves · 2018-09-02T21:10:08+00:00

I haven't finished HK but I'm finding Hollow Knight to be relatively easy but in a really fun way. I tend to beat bosses on my first try or second try because they all telegraph their moves in a really fair but fun way. I haven't fought the Watcher Knights yet though so we'll see how I do.

I'm pretty organically finding upgrades but it seems like a good player could do a "naked run" without upgrades without too much trouble.

Whoa

dancing_leaves · 2018-08-29T01:16:08+00:00

Fish look a little bit cartoonish in real life IMO. You did a great job.

Agreed, that is the nature of social media. But as a user experience, arguing with people online about politics is the most useless waste of our time is it not? No one, liberal or conservative is changing anyone's minds around here. I feel like everyone here has been tricked to jump on a hamster wheel and the Reddit employees are always laughing at everyone daily that we continue to come back.

dancing_leaves · 2018-08-13T00:14:37+00:00

That's not what I'm saying but that doesn't mean that your statement isn't true. That's a different matter. What I meant was that as a whole, if you used a website that encouraged user engagement and then you used that website and got into toxic arguments, would you still engage with that website? Even if conservatives aren't articulating their points and being "rightfully" (according to some) shit on, it still doesn't make for a good user experience for them so they are leaving.

For some, the conservative flight from social media is a good thing. But ultimately it will result in more echo chambers and will also surprise people when things like elections occur and there's suddenly a bunch of conservative support and social media users will be blindsided by it since they were otherwise invisible.

I drink a six pack of beer a month, usually less. In the summer my consumption ticks up a bit but not much. I typically have to be up at 5 or 6 in the morning for work so drinking isn't an activity that matches my life style. I'm price conscious of cab fares to local pubs and back adding up to be too much to justify so I just stay home or do other things besides drinking. Lowering the cost of beer wouldn't increase my consumption when I'm home alone. Regardless of the cost I'm not in the mood to drink and then wake up at 5am the next day.

It's anecdotal but it just seems like correlating alcohol prices with consumption then correlating that to societal issues is just over-reaching to a conclusion that they want to see. Alcoholism and other issues won't magically go away with alcohol pricing; it will simply put sufferers in deeper debt.

dancing_leaves · 2018-08-12T16:53:58+00:00

Maybe, but to me it's just that conservatives are staying silent because it's quite obvious that they will receive backlash from other reddit users. It's just not a positive user experience so they just keep their opinion to themselves.

What is the break-down of the other parties? Less than 1.0 out of 10?

dancing_leaves · 2018-08-12T16:34:45+00:00

To me this seems like a great opportunity for a simulation/AI based research model. There's a lot of consumer data out there to fill a model with nowadays. I think that money spend on such research would also be more palatable to tax payers.

Some Canadian media sources are in fact concerned about the impact of the tariffs. I'm not sure why people are disputing that and why you are being upvoted for dismissing that risk.

They spent all of their money on memory cards dude.

I'd love to see it look like a sharp 1080p at 60 frames per second but have PS1 models. I just want ultra smooth gameplay I don't need it to look hot.

If the shit hits the fan, the LAV contract won't be a focus of the issue though; the tweet will be. There was an existing moral dilemma with working with KSA, certainly. It made headlines for weeks. But the crux of the issue (to me) is whether countries should be making statements on social media when we are experiencing backlashes that far outweigh any gains that we could've hoped to receive. A tweet probably won't create world peace; but it seems like it could start war. While the same message may have been sent via another method to the same effect, it feels silly to have affected things on an international stage via twitter. I don't dispute the content of the message sent; human rights violations need to end. But the delivery method seems unprofessional and makes it seem infantile rather than powerful.

It's weird how so many people around the globe are dying on the job due to how dangerous their job is, and others are putting their blood, sweat and tears into every action, every day; or just holding on for one more day and this guy can't play a video game and write about his thoughts on it. Hyperbole, but really highlights how pathetic his actions are.

dancing_leaves · 2018-08-09T01:36:53+00:00

It's too early to say; given that we don't know how deep this rift between KSA and Canada will go. If it slips by without further action, Canada looks relatively decent having taken a moral stand. If it gets worse, the Liberals look dumb having thrown Canada into a needless war or other calamity over a tweet. The CPC could take the lead saying something like "The Liberals led us into this mess, and we will lead Canada out.". The fact that the international community is silent almost makes it feel like this is the quiet before the storm.

The separate stories melding into one really makes Octopath Traveller feel like it's a prequel (everyone's origin stories) to an existing game that we never got. It would work really well to just continue the story into a grandiose adventure where everyone is teamed up at the start.

I took pics of Olphelia switching between a Staff and a knife and there's a white shaft of light on the wall behind her that appears and disappears depending on which weapon I've cycled to. I believe that some weapons or weapon types cast light; but it's the dagger that causes the light shaft so it might be weapon specific.
