Alright, joking aside, I'm tossing out the idea because although the military would eat up a durable super-tablet, I'm trying to figure out the potential apps it could run as a civilian/law enforcement device - I have the specs worked out, just solidifying the idea. So, basically:

>on-the-fly translation program, using a mic to sample language for a fitting dictionary
>AI intelligent enough to get basic conversation
>always-on wireless net (likely 4G for now) and GPS
>either singular LCD screen in the shape of a monacle that's shockproof, or more transparent (but frail) like google glasses
>battery and barebones PC connected via fanny-pack
>bluetooth connection for keyboard, for acting as an input device to any programmable device (possibly micro-drone surveillance, needs extended range)
>everything a smartphone can do
>mouse interface either shrunk to a nub on the wrist, or track hands via Google tech
>>
>this will not be the theme of Persona 5

You know, I kind of wonder what Coordinate 136's actual purpose was. I mean, the pre-recorded messages pretty much entirely spoil the whole real heat-real serph confrontation as well as the reason the real world became a hell hole, so it makes me wonder.
Is it just an artifact of Sera's own little virtual retreat that she created, before Colonel Beck saw the potential military application?

For the demographic, this is obviously going to be /g/-tier, and gonna be tough to make work offline, which will double the price to absurd levels for always-on service. So, unless you're an engineer/comp sci sci and make it a general hacking tool, this shit will not be a toy to fuck with. But if the battery goes out, eh, you can shield your eyes with the shockproof monocle instead of Google-fucking-glass.

>>79527023
Have you read how /g/ tore apart Google glasses just for low battery life? Separating the components into "tower" and "power supply" would help tremendously to suit the buyer's needs. Don't need the horsepower of the i7 you can shove down there? Get a TDP-conservative processor. Hate the battery life? Get a bigger battery. Hate the weight you carry? Shrink the battery. There's probably going to be variable models for the eyewear too, so you can choose between glasses/goggles and the monacle.

Guys, we need to find the demons first. That said, if enough research goes into the apps and this goes beyond cosplay novelty, I'm hoping to develop software that can crack cyphers, if we get past the point where you can talk to any human native. Therefore, if you give it an alien/demon, talk with it enough and it'll understand basic words, which it'll use for an on-the-fly dictionary. Like I said, I'm expecting this to take a lot of horsepower, so no wimpy ARM shit.

If I'm blowing smoke up my ass, I can at least build an AR-centered console, which I can sell to Nintendo. Win-win.

A wrist comp is kind of worthless for military or security use if it impedes the wrist in any way

if it was something that went on your back or was thin enough for a band, and recorded biometrics or something useful, maybe for research, maybe you could get somewhere

or if you hacked together something with raspi and sold it to people who are really into that aesthetic or japan

you could even fuck with the OS to make it like DDS

Yeah, currently my first year as a transfer to state college. Haven't really been ambitious with E.E. yet, just know the basics - but if something like this can convince other turbonerds to work with me unlike my other vidya-esque projects I have a decent shot at making an invention to patent.

Anyways, I've done some research into micro-keyboards, and found the frogpad. It's short enough to fit on your arm without obstructing your wrist, while having all the essential buttons without resorting to touch screens (trackpads can go underneath the keyboard). And while we're at it, I guess a biometric sensor can be fitted to the temples and the lower wrists to keep track of blood pressure and sweat.

If it goes nowhere, Raspi is definitely feasible. I've almost thought of making a handheld console with Raspi, so as a gimmick it could do well enough to be a one-off that nerds can mod into what they want - after that, all I'd need are royalties.

I think I'd vastly prefer a soundtrack similar to P1/2, to be honest. Or just go all out and give us nothing but rockin' guitar riffs. But I doubt something that great would happen because you gotta pander to those filthy otaku, and we all know they dig the j-pop.

I'm a little over halfway done with Nocturne as the second SMT game I've played, I'm thinking of moving on to either the Raidou games or Digital Devil Saga. Which one would you guys recommend first?
>>
>>79533748
I'd say Raidou just for a change of pace before DDS since the latter is pretty similar to Nocturne. Raidou vs. The Soulless Army is pretty rough though so you may just want to skip to King Abaddon
>>
>>79533748
The Raidou games are ARPGs, but the first one's a little bit clunky. Great game, just a little clunky.
DDS is pretty much a continuation of Nocturne, mechanics-wise. Takes the press-turn system and polishes it to a fine shine.

I think the idea is to ease people into the series since DDS is a bit more of a traditional JRPG than Nocturne
>>
>>79534352
I think it might be because DDS is closer to standard JRPGs than something like Nocturne, and most people who want to get into SMT have likely played other JRPGs before.

From what some other anon mentioned in a past thread Jinana survives going berserk, something else killed the Wolves and it wasn't the Brutes, and Lupa might be the reincarnation of Serph and Heat's old tribe leader.

I was wondering: how chaotic does things get? The game had a sort of soft law and chaos thing going on with everyone being machines working on logic in the Junkyard until the atma virus spreads and then emotions and chaos begins to stir.
>>
>>79539137
>the jellyness is killing me

I CANT FIGHT THIS LOVE ;_______;
>>
>>79539424
>how chaotic does things get?
Here's some food for thought: Gale is a special kind of person in the Junkyard, known as a Bishop. Bishops are the tacticians and are born with all kinds of special shit, as well as specific conditioning. The Atma virus directly contradicts Bishop conditioning to the point where it drives most of the Bishops to madness or suicide, due to the fact that it brings up emotions and makes people act like...well, people. Bishops pretty much are machines, actually. Hell, even Gale's becoming somewhat unhinged due to the conflict between his Atma and his Bishop conditioning.

But yes, Jinana survives going berserk thanks to a liberal dosage of Sera's blood, the Brutes did not kill the Wolves and Lupa may indeed be Serph's old Tribe boss reincarnated. Signs certainly point to it.

I don't even know if they kept the "2 turns are lost if you miss/they dodge" thing and I'm 8 hours into the game. Nothing has missed 8 hours into the game. 3 Sukukaja and 3 Sukunda? Nothing. The part where it says evasion boosted must be a bug.

Seraph got Brahman to fix the sun and the world just by willing it, then made everyone reincarnate at the same time so they could have a second chance to be friends together, including the two beings that Seraph was a composite of, quite possibly without undoing Seraph's own existence (if I remember what Schrodinger said right)
