Under a certain interpretation of "roots", that could be quite terrifying.

There's no excuse to lack for pockets.

it's a conspiracy by the fashion industry to sell overpriced purses and shit

at least, that's my theory as to why women's clothing never has any fucking pockets
Not in Russia, apparently, since the dresses I saw had a lot of pockets in them, too. Like, 4-to-8 pockets.

Or maybe it's because their wearer also liked pockets. That could definitely be a possibility.

I have on multiple occasions heard women complaining that female jeans only have fake pockets. Like, wat? How could you ever not have pockets in your jeans? Everyone who buys a pair of jeans is entitled to at least 4 pockets, goddamit.

...and I also believe in that consipracy ein believes in.
I mean, I think male skintight jeans also have fake pockets, right?
Anyway, I agree that it's pockets all the way or go home.

in other news, i'd like to praise the genius who came up with beer that's made with coffee
What beer is that? I know beer that's made with chocolate, but coffee beer also sounds good.

Holy crap people are making badass cyberdecks

This makes me more and more impatient about the ton of electronic crap I ordered for my RPi tablet/screen-brick project arriving.
...I should be sleeping, not figuring out CAD stuff. However, I found out that a lot of places in my area offer 3D printing services for pretty cheap, so I've got that going for me.

I kinda think that a dermatologist would have a better answer to that then Bay12.

Max concern would be a hundred non-locals going into the desert on horses, then a hundred locals emerging on the same horses.

368
Yeah, that's dumb. Most animals are ridiculously fragile, but horses are fragile even by those standards. I'm not riding a horse into a desert in lieu of a camel unless I see a hundred locals doing the same thing.
I would think that seeing a hundred locals ride out of a desert on horses would do more to convince me than seeing a hundred locals ride in.

So there's this game about microcontroller programming

I mean, "game", in the sense that it has a plot and catchy electronic music, I guess, because the rest of it is just assembly programming. I feel like I finally get assembly! I unlocked a new tier of zen today.

Long-distance relationships are surprisingly fun~
Relationships ain't bad in general, in my experience.
Then again re: this house has too many people in it - soon as I / SO can fix up some stable income, I'm moving outta here very rapidly. And then my long-distance-with-intermittent-bouts-of-short-distance relationship can be short-distance for an appreciable period of time.
And there will be substantially more quiet. I honestly don't care much about all else as long as there's no roaches. But man, have I given myself an appreciation for quiet.
Really looking forward to all that, despite the fact that I have no problem with the way it is now. Well, maybe some problems, but nothing fatal.

There's a cafe chain here that offers bottomless coffee for R20 (~$1.50). I've never tested the limits, but my sisters occasionally go there to sit and work and drink coffee. It's legitimately bottomless; they serve you the first cup, and then the waiter points out a bank of frequently-refreshed flasks containing more coffee. I have no idea how long you'd have to be there to get kicked out.
Hey, that's a really good deal.
One thing that the time cafes here have going for them is that there's boardgames/futons/game consoles/all sorts of comfy stuff. You can just hole up in a corner on a pile of futons, for example. If yours has all that too, then it's an absolutely fantastic deal.

And also time cafes with cats living in them sometimes.
DOOOOOOCTOR WHOOOOOOO
Kinda. You pay for your time. There's free coffee, wifi, cookies and boardgames. Nobody gets in your grill or steps on your shit. They're kinda like clubs in the olden days, maybe? They sort of fit the Holmesian description of a club.
Whoops, missed this. That sounds really cool. What's the average hourly rate for a club like this?
A normal rate is around two roubles/minute, at least in Moscow, which puts it at about $2/hour. I've seen both cheaper and more expensive ones. It's usually worth your while, anyway, since a lot of them have professional-level coffee machines, which means you can avail yourself of like $50 worth of coffee in Starbucks rates for like $6.

Yeah, right, why couldn't they give the amputees of Japan a hand with being treated as a normal part of society

I've been abrasive this past week, I guess.
If you were, then I haven't noticed that.
Cause I wasn't being abrasive to you (or on the forums in general). I'm just, ugh. There's too many people in this house.
Also dogs best.

I wish there was a dog petting zoo or a dog cafe in Germany, so that I can play with puppers.

Dog cafes are one of the better ideas that Thailand has.
You have dog cafes? We just have cat cafes here in Russia. And also time cafes with cats living in them sometimes.
A dog cafe sounds like a better idea, actually, since dogs are generally less irritable than cats.

Other Games / Re: The "Recommend me a game" thread

So suppose I really enjoyed the Shadowrun series, but I've played all of the games in it for now (except the Chronicles: Boston one, which has really bad reviews). I also really enjoyed Transistor and VA-11-Hall A recently.
So is there a story-rich post/cyberpunk game that is preferably a turn-based strategy that you would recommend, based on these titles?
