The link below is slightly broken, copy the whole line if you want to check it out.

I probably assumed I posted it and clicked away. The wiki pages are pretty good about remembering input when you edit them (made an article and accidentally hit ctrl when typing a w) and when I restored the tab it was all there. No such luck with comment boxes I'm afraid. I wouldn't call it rude per se, they just don't think too hard about it. It's a habit after all and they probably never got complained too. Ultimately vaping won't solve anything, it's the same thing but a bit less harmful. I could look around at myself at one point, archive.org has 216 in a category of someone's collections. If anything that allows me to browse some Japanese gaming mag names so I know what to look for. You probably already saw them, but here's the link anyways: https://archive.org/details/gamemagazines%26sort=-reviewdate?and[]=languageSorter%3A%22Japanese%22 Torrenting generally means automatic seeding, so probably. Some work for a company and the others just do it on their own, there was a plan to do the same thing for movies licensed by a big Dutch firm. Never heard anything further though.

More power hungry screens and signals maybe? Also it heavily depends on use, my smartphone will be empty after 2 days (occasional browsing) or a day with a good amount of use. My brother kept his old tiny dumbphone (2007 thing) that thing last for weeks on standby, just uses it as an alarm clock. I'd be fine with an actual magic/alchemy school. The issue with the Japanese is that every idea for a school is HEAVILY based on the ideal Japanese schools. This just doesn't work with such a setting. Another issue is that the setting is too specific and gets boring fast. "Fantasy" happens a lot, but can be very broad and differ between games. High school not so much. I'm kind of glad I only got to computer gaming when the tinkering died down. It's not that I dislike it. but the technology changed pretty quickly and you had to upgrade your system (or parts of it) quite frequently to even boot some games. Not to mention the incompatibilities. You could also buy a format that would die out in mere months. I do like the school programs which included coding classes in the 80's and early 90's. Should've been a thing worldwide.

If you are below 35 and not that unhealthy, you'll probably see some effects if the world's course won't change. I've also been hearing some economical horror scenarios, most current ones (since 2014, so not that current) involving the Deutsche Bank collapsing. It's not like I immediately believe the worst case scenarios, but pretty scary to think that this stuff can easily happen in the next year. Sure, but technology can move fast and this is one of the frontiers being focused on right now. Boston Dynamics is a nice example, they have pretty good movement in their robots. Spot (four-legged dog type bot) is actually being sold soon. So the movement is getting much more "realistic". Their bipedal robot generally get showcased doing flips and keeping balance. Pure looks shouldn't be much an issue, facial expression might require some research though. We had to deal with really old phone connections being repurposed. Poorer balkan countries can have ridiculous speeds due to their circumstances, Romania being a good example. Sure, progress for the sake of progress is what drives tech. I'm not sure people would want to give up their freedom of movement for predefined paths though and either way public transport will go electric alongside normal traffic.

Responsible ones then. It is hypocrisy, yeah. But most people will believe what's more comforting and what they're used to hearing. They need someone to villify. It's best to look history from a neutral point of view.

It's not really like that either. It's a method of direct pay from your bank account, like paypal can do as well but instead of just being an extra feature it is the entire point of the system. It essentially like using your debit card at the supermarket. It's "actual worked hours", whatever that means. The source probably states how it calculates it.

Probably not. It's part of the "regular" packaging after all, why do extra work? It literally arrived today, again postNL was faster in updating than JapanPost by half a day. No mention of customs though, customs papers were included still.

I can't point you to any I'm afraid. Considering it being a drive-by warning that sounds like Resetera, but I don't know it might just be a regular forum thing these days. Generally the best I've found are very autistic gathering places like any of the chans or very specific reddits/channels, but when it comes to forums only the typical ones dominate the search results (AtariAge being one). In the case of the chans/reddit/youtube you have to deal with shitposters as well. Which is fine enough by me, part of the charm but if you want to hold an in-depth conversation you'd have to have a good thread.
