Time for shore leave.

Where are you going on holiday?

Who's coming with?

What's the itinerary?

[ShepardMyFriend]

Illium. Liara and I double-dating with Garrus and Tali. Sappy as hell, but that's honestly all I really want.

I'd just like to go hunting for some crazy space game with Garrus on a backwater planet.
Maybe take a Mako ride with Ash, Garrus, Wrex, Tali, and Zaeed on the moon for old times sake, plus Zaeed don't know about my Mako thrusters.

To go and get a holiday named after me. Shepardmas, probably.

Who's coming with?

Miranda.

What's the itinerary?

See #1. Also a day spent out on the town, cleaning out the casino.

[David7204]

Or more statistically likely, becoming broke at the casino.

It's funny you would say that, my holiday being bringing Kasumi & Thane along and just bypassing statistics altogether.

[David7204]

I dunno how much help Thane would be. He probably shuns technology somewhat and is no expert with it.

watching Miranda try to act like a normal person outside of "work" is hilarious, so I'd definitely pack her into the Hammerhead along with Javik, Kaidan & Oriana. While I'm having downtime with Kaidan (and Javik absorbing our "experiences" through touching the bedsheets afterwards), Miranda could spend some quality time with her twin sis.

Ilium would be fun. Then I'd treat Javik to a first-class tour of Ilos.

"you, and the human soldier are......joined? that's some reproduction ritual you got there, Commandah *evil laugh*"

errrrrrr that's one way of putting it.

Why would Thane ever shun technology? He would be the sh**tiest assassin in the universe.

As for the casino, I've already made well over a million credits through the in-game casino. Assuming it has house rules like a real life casino, manipulating them would be easy. If they try to throw me out, I can pull the Spectre card.

[David7204]

Plenty of people shun technology somewhat. They see much of it as unreliable and prefer sticking to fundamentals. Why do you think plenty of people still prefer the M1911 to modern pistols?

In real casinos, the only games that are featured are ones that offer a house edge. Or some sort of flat payment, such as poker.

Going broke at the casino is impossible, because all you have to do is mosey on down to the Armax Arsenal Arena and fight for more money, and the cycle of gambling can go on forever.

Traversing the galaxy to explore uncharted worlds with Javik and Liara sounds appealing to me.

[David7204]

I doubt either Liara or Javik would enjoy that. Javik doesn't seem the type to care about sightseeing. And I doubt Liara would enjoy Javik being there.

[KaiserShep]

If Javik is going to help Liara write a book, they'd have to deal with each other's company anyway. Besides, there'd no doubt be some indigenous life that can be hunted, which I would bet is right up Javik's alley.

I think it would be better for everyone if Javik just a bullet in his head after things have quieted down.

It's not like he's going to travel the galaxy and learn peace, love, and happiness. He's shown he doesn't care for anyone on the Normandy, and that's not going to change. He's never going to have anything more than his memories.

I'm up for hitting some asari world and going out on the town with the boys. Specifically, Garrus, James, Steve, Kaidan, Joker and maybe Javik if we can drag him along. Drinking, gambling, general debauchery, that sort of thing.

Alternatively, if I was in a romantic mood, just me and Steve at a beach resort on Bekenstein (Kasumi's loyalty mission, apparently quite lovely) would be all I'd need. Maybe some of the other couples (Garrus/Tali, Joker/EDI, etc.) could double-date.

Define "plenty of people", and don't use the Amish or neo-Luddites as an example.

You really aren't good at this whole "making generalizations" thing.

Why do you think plenty of people still prefer the M1911 to modern pistols?

Because the 1911 has more stopping power than most other pistols, and is one of the most produced handguns on the planet, as well as being a sort of icon among firearms?

[David7204]

I'm not going to hunt down a statistic to justify common sense and knowledge. That fact that reliability is a very important consideration in a person's choice of technology is beyond debate. The fact that older technology is often more reliable than newer technology is also beyond debate. Put two and two together.

*Ignoring that you moved the goalposts from "technology" to "new technology"*

What part of your claim is common sense? I didn't see any.

The only fact that you've stated in this entire discussion is that people factor reliability into their use of tech. Other than that, it's you making statements that you openly refuse to justify.

Older technology being more reliable is not a fact. If it were, nobody would be using new things.

Yes, some older technology being more reliable is a fact. I could name countless examples. And no, it would does not mean 'nobody would be using new things.' Such a very silly statement would only apply if reliability was the only concern.

This is twice now you've moved the goalposts. Earlier it was "often", and now it's "some". Often implies frequency, some only implies that it happens. Older technology is not *often* more reliable than newer technology. If such was the case, technology would have only a minimal need to advance, and again, nobody would be spending money on newer items.

I highly doubt somebody would argue that an Apple II is better or more reliable than an iMac, or that an NES is more reliable than a Playstation 2.

[David7204]

My god, do you like ridiculous and whiny arguments. No, it's not moving the goalposts. It's a trivial word choice for two statements that are both entirely true anyway. Older technology is often more reliable then newer technology. That includes 'some.'

Your conclusion is laughable. No, we wouldn't stop progress because new technology is less reliable then old technology. I've upgraded from more to less reliable technology many times over. A landline that always works to a cell phone that sometimes has a poor signal and tends to run out of battery. An ethernet cable that never had trouble to a wireless network that has patchy bandwidth. A fingerprint scanner to log in to my computer that sometimes needs a few swipes compared to a password that always worked the first time through. I've upgraded from software that has few bugs and few features to software that has much more of both.

Uhh, so yeah, holidays.

Skiing on Noveria, probably.

[Reorte]

Well, ME3 Eden Prime is supposed to be based on the Lake District (although seems a bit short on trees), so as long as there's also a decent pub there and nowhere near as many people (or the National Trust hell-bent on screwing it up) that sounds like a good spot for me.

Nevos with Miranda. Cheesy romantic getaway.
