I know the USA is archaic in its determination to keep the US standard but when a gamer like me sees "80kg" of weight, it means absolutely nothing to me until I convert it.

 

Can there be a toggle like the watch toggle (military/standard) for the time?

 

This will help US players check their weight and make quick judgements at a glance.

This would help some of the younger people playing this game but i've played so many games that have have been made in Europe, or just use military time that i can convert military to standard american in an instant.

The time doesn't bother me. I use military time at work. I'm just saying there is a toggle to switch it. I can't convert kg to lbs in my head though. x.x

You can simply multiply the kilograms by 2 and add 10% of the kilograms twice and you have a pretty accurate estimate of how much your character weights.

 

80 x 2 = 160

160 + 8 + 8 = 176

 

I personally use a similar "system" to quickly count how fast I drive a car in mph (speed limits) when my car is scaled in km/h.

i.e. I see a 50 mph speed limit, I add half of that and then 10% and I have my km/h

 

50 + (50/2) = 75

75 + 5 = 80 km/h

 

Where the official conversion is 50mph = 80.46720kph. I'd say that's accurate enough :)

Thanks for the mathematical tricks! I'm sure that you shouldn't be thinking so hard when you're driving though... the conversion should be right on your dash!

 

I still see a use in a toggle though.
