I'm having a particularly strong feels attack right now. Like, the type that makes you reflect on your life. Or maybe that's just me. Maybe I'm too emotional. Anyhow, it's still a feels attack that hits you right in the heart.

I should really play that game again.

Am I the only person who doesn't like this new technology? I just really don't like it... at all. Cell phones are bad enough, we don't need this conquering everyone's lives >_>

Now that's just blowing things out of proportion.
And the moral of the story: Quit while you're a head.

I'm sorry but I just don't like this whole anti-technology stuff, like I can easily connect to so many people and met all these great friends through the internet.

This is true.

Idk, I think it's wise to exercise caution, at least; the more we consider the implications of what technologies we submit ourselves to, the less likely they are to diminish our awareness. It's definitely frustrating, for example, to have somebody checking their phone constantly mid-conversation, so it's not unreasonable to think that this type of behavior will magnify with more immersive technology. But yeah, to simply say that these new technologies are bad is somewhat reductive.

I agree with you 100%. Caution in technology is very wise. There are things I would never do though. Such as putting computer chips in my arm or hand etc. like dogs. My dogs have chips in their necks. When we take them in to get shots or a checkup, the Vet always scans the chip just as easy breathing. I could see the government implementing this for humans. Anyway, yeah, being cautious with technology is a very wise thing to do. I just thought this was cool because it reminds of Holodecks  (a fictional entertainment device from Star Trek.)

Do I also win a trip back, or is 30 minutes just my life expectancy while there?

what's your problem with her? The only interactions I've seen you have with her the past several days are negative. What did she do to you?

Or are you still salty about the Smash tournament?
