Suica is incredible, I remember when I first visited Japan in the 2010’s I was amazed at the speed and ubiquity, now in America that tap to pay on transit terminals are becoming more ubiquitous I feel somewhat disappointed at the “lag” I feel compared to the suica transactions

New comment by forthwall in "The entire city of San Francisco as a video game"

Though as for games that use SF (but not 1:1) Watch Dogs 2 is a pretty good proxy, though my favorite video game interpretation of San Francisco is from GTA San Andreas (San Fierro)

Very cool, I have no idea where any of these guns come from, but I was able to get some points from just looking at the designer name and inferring location from there :)
