I know the Devs like the new sounds, but...

Given how often they get robbed, it seems reasonable that the citizens of Paragon City would need to frequent the grocery store to make up for all the lost groceries.

I kind of thought the grocery thing was a bug they'd be fixing but, if that's the case, it must not be high on the bug fixin' list.
I think they're stocking up on supplies in case of Rikti or zombie attacks.

Before I17, when was the last time you saw peds with groceries? Apparently, it took 6 years for a supermarket to open up in Paragon City, and 5 for the Rogue Isles.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
I also noticed for the first time the other day that contacts and other NPCs you interact with occasionally cough and clear their throats. Now that those sounds are in the game, you notice things like that a lot more than you used to when all they did was gesture.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

That freaked me out the other day. I was playing later at night, and I thought some guy was behind me, clearing his throat. For some reason, that sound REALLY sounds like it's not in the game world, but right next to me. Same thing with birds near the Talos Wentworth's... it gets particularly weird when some birds really are singing out the window- I have a hard time knowing which is which.

5 Minutes after i17 went live, I found myself looking out the window trying to figure out who was honking.
I'd like a new day job of "baguette maker". Those guys must be freaking rich.

I'm a little disturbed by all the civilians in lab coats with groceries. Are they performing experiments on salami?
I haven't heard the sound of the grocery bags yet. What does it sound like?

This afternoon I landed in the street after a jump that coincided with a horn blow and my first instinctive thought was "Aw, blow it out your #$%." Which then caused me to giggle at the absurdity. |
Positivity gets a reaction: 5 Minutes after i17 went live, I found myself looking out the window trying to figure out who was honking. |
Dec out.

Yeah, it is not just that every third civilian is now carrying a single bag of groceries, (WALKING for apparently miles,) but EACH of them gets a couple of those loaves.|

I guess after doing without it for so long, the good citizens cannot get enough of it. And they will still push you easily out of the way, even with their hands full...
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

Yes. Living in the city, I hear it enough already, no need to involuntarily bristle up when I hear it in-game so frequently.|

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
