So Hideo Kojima praised the game design theory in Westworld from this scene: Link: http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/11/01/hideo-kojima-praises-westworlds-game-design-theories Dolores is basically a BioWare love interest: http://www.polygon.com/tv/2016/10/17/13306082/westworld-dolores-bioware-npc Here are Dolores' branching storylines - called "loop" in the show - presented in a flowchat. It is taken from HBO Westworld's website:

Spoilers:

Is anyone else watching this sci-fi/western??

I did not. I watched the trailer, and I was not impressed. It did not give me a nerdgasm.

The general election is less than a month away. Donald Trump is double digits behind Hillary Clinton in most polls, and single digit behind in the remaining few. No presidential candidate has ever recovered from that far behind at this late in the game, and then gone on to win the general election.

Size 14!

Google Plus called me from 1-323-503-1761. My phone number is registered with the National Do Not Call Registry of the Federal Trade Commission. I have just checked the registry, and my registration is still valid. So I immediately filed a complaint with the FTC: I provided my contact information to the Federal Trade Commission in my complaint. Well, a FTC representative just called me back to get more information. Seems like they recognize a jackpot when they see it. Congratulation Google. And F you.

What the Democratic Party did for blacks: Civil Right Act of 1964 and Voting Right Act of 1965, signed into law by Democratic President Lyndon Johnson. And here is what the Republican Party did to blacks: Southern Strategy, i.e, the actual policy of "playing the race card", as conservatives and Republicans love to accuse liberals and Democrats of playing. Conservatives and Republicans loved to say the GOP liberated the slaves. However, whatever the GOP had done to free slaves more than a century ago, they squandered away the good will with the race card strategy to appeal the Southern whites. The GOP was the party of the North and Coasts, but it has now been taken over by entirely different sets of constituents from the South. The GOP of Lincoln ceased to exist when they decided to pursue the racist Southern Strategy as a keystone policy of the party. Instead of reversing its course, the GOP has gone full racist with Donald Trump. For blacks, Hispanics and other minorities, it is truly over for the GOP. The GOP can never recover from Donald Trump and, most importantly, his fans and supporters who make up the bulk of the GOP. The real problem is not even Donald Trump. It is the kind of people in the GOP who support him. Donald Trump is merely the symptom. The real problem is the people in the GOP who support Donald Trump, and they seem to make up a huge portion if not the majority of the party.

Some hackers in my city operate servers that deploy bots, thousands of them, to scan the entire city, every part of it, for Pokémons. The hackers links the bot operations to a Twitter account, which automatically sends out tweets based on certain conditions. Whenever one of their bots comes across a rare Pokémon, the linked Twitter account automatically sends out a tweet. Everyone who subscribes to the Twitter account would instantl get the notification of the rare spawn. Every tweet includes a map to the Pokémon and the despawn time. When we (subscribers/players) click on the map in the tweet, it opens up Google Map and automaticaly gives us the driving direction to the Pokémon. It has been a rush during the past week. I have been able to used the tweets to catch about two dozen Dragonites and Snorlaxes, and complete my Pokédex, (i.e., two dozen Dragonites and two dozen Snorlaxes; if I look at them in my Pokémon storage and scroll through them, they go on and on for pages.) I do not even bother with Charizards and other lesser Pokémon because I am running out of Great and Ultra balls, and I have to save those balls for the big guys. On the streets, the situation has been crazy, and it is getting crazier as more and more people find out about the tweets. When a new tweet of a Dragonite or Snorlax arrives, in a few minute the location will be swarmed by twenty, thirty or more cars. People say Pokémon GO is winding down.... well, not in my city. It is a much better option than installing and using a scanner/tracker app on our phones, because Niantic may possibly ban players for using a scanner/tracker. We are not actually using any scanner/tracker apps. We are using the regular Twitter and Google Map apps. What can Niantic do about it? Ban players for using Twitter and Google Map on the same phone for playing Pokémon GO? I do not even bother with using scanners/trackers anymore... they are so inefficient. My city is the first one to have this Poke tweeting service, but the surrounding cities have also started to get the same service, all operated by different hackers. It is spreading. I am current subscribing to the tweets from two different cities, mine and the one right next to us.

Obama was asked by the Governor of Louisiana not to come because of potential for distraction of rescue efforts and advised Trump to not come if he is using the visit as a photo op and for political gain. So of course, Trump is using it for political gain. Meanwhile, Obama is getting regular briefings and communicating via modern telecommunication technologies. ...and now he is going. http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/19/politics/obama-to-visit-baton-rouge-next-week/index.html Obama will go next week, when the rescue effort will become less hectic.

Donald Trump's campaign has imploded. The media has turned on him, (as they should and should have done so earlier,) and he seems to be digging himself deeper and deeper into a hole. Unless something drastic happened at the presidential debates or between now and November, I am fairly certain Hillary Clinton will be our President Elect in November.

WTF. That information was not revealed to me. How did that app take money out of my Google Wallet when I did not give it the permission?? Nevermind. That was incorrect information. Link: http://blog.charitymiles.org/post/65642319456/faq

Tuesday night had a full moon! Clefairy and Clefable were popping up everywhere!

I tried Charity Miles for a day... it drained phone battery. I need my battery for catching Pokemons, so... no.

For a Chamander? Really?

A Vaporeon Pokemon appeared in Central Park:
