God damn those kids.
(I need a frikkin' cane to shake at them. Silver topped for bling).

Is anywhere safe? Also, how long til datajacks come on the market?

After the '29 Crash, after a decade we might get our first man-portable cyberdeck (and the surgeries to put a datajack on our heads)

Hm. Well, being in Denver, I'll see our first future meta-human President as he awakens from Cherry Creek next year.

Oh Dunkelzahn, you have my vote already.

I wouldnt mind a dragon flying over mount fuji, I just dont want to be here in Japan while Haley's comet swings around again :/

If I recall corretly, Kansai was pretty much spared any awfulness, probably owing to the mana lines in Kyoto and Nara. I do recall something strange happening around Mt. Hiei and Lake Biwa, though. Maybe it was Mt. Hiei growing...?

I think he's worried about UGE and Japanese culture.

Well, then he'd be worried about Japan a hell of a lot earlier than YOTC. Shit, by that time they'd almost returned to a semblance of sanity.

Japan had a semblance of sanity?!?!?

They always seemed so crazy to me

I live near the biggest and eldest Shinto temple in Japan, so I will be screwed with the mana lines, but yeah I am worried about the ring of fire blowing up.

UGE, Goblinazation and SURGE shouldnt change much of my life unless it happens to me. Think is, if SR history becomes real I cant really return to Denmark as it will be burried under a titalwave of polution :/

Izumo-Taisha? Or Kasuga? And Denmark is kinda boned, yeah... But I had throught at least Copenhagen was mostly spared!

I live right next to Ise Shinja actually. I admit that Nara and Kyoto both have the largest concentration of temples and such, but Ise is just huge and old.
It might actually become easier being a foreigner in Japan after the Awakening, then the Japanese have other people to discriminate against ^^

Why the hell are we looking forward to this? This is a dystopia! It's gonna suck!

Let me introduce you to this song.

I love Seattle.
I love noise pollution.
I love street battles.
I love to Shadow Run.
I love the sixth world.
And all its sights and sounds.
