comparison is the thief of joy

Just a hunch, since technological advancements seem to hit the public realm much faster in places like China, in the cities especially. I don't know what the laws are like there, but I've heard rumors that there is less government regulations for technologies that can benefit the general public, like drones and automated metros. Oh yeah, and how could I forget about the robots they show off at conventions, to take the place of receptionists and other customer-facing positions.
At the very least, you can still pirate it and play cracked multiplayer with friends.
I made the mistake of buying the game year ago, and bought a bunch of DLC at 50% or greater sales, and now the sunken cost fallacy has taken hold on me, and I still want to buy more . . . . (at least I'm broke so I can't right now hehehaha)
Oh no worries, I am writing a Cisco networking exam in about a month, so I've actually studied subnets and addressing a good amount, but I don't mind the refresher!
I was just speaking more generally, in terms of programming, where integers and strings are different data types, yet you can store numbers as a string, which I always found interesting.
interesting . . In my head, I think of ip addresses like just decimal values or integers separated by periods, but clearly a decimal value isn't processed as such by a computer. To think that IP addresses are simply strings is pretty interesting to my amateur mind, because for all my life I thought of them as technical computer jargon that isn't the same as what I used to think strings were: words!
everything you say is true.
But thinking that cities will redesign their streets without public pressure? I doubt it.
