PDAs are dead, long live PDAs. All trace of old PDAs has been scoured from the codebase, and in its place are modular computer PDAs that are feature-equivalent. Essentially every PDA function except the Syndicate detonation feature and Notepad has been ported over, and battery life for handheld computers has been boosted alongside the addition of charging cables to make things easier.
changes:
rscadd: "Ported a new chat system, Goonchat, that allows for cool things like changing font style, size, spacing, highlighting up to 5 strings in the chat, and DARK MODE."
rscadd: "Repeated chat messages can now get compacted. You can disable this in goonchat settings."
rscadd: "You can change icon style to any font on your system."
tweak: "The game window has been altered a bit to adjust for this."
rscdel: "Removed skin style prefs as they are no longer used."
The lifeless live again. Or in this case, what never actually lived here.
Ports Baystation12/Baystation12#17460 probably for real this time. What this allows us to do is create shuttles on runtime and make shuttles easier by just making landmarks and a shuttle instead of areas and shuttles. Also allows runtime landmark creation via flares or whatever AND allows shuttles to use different landmarks at will.
I removed most of the overmap stuff, I think. It shouldn't be hard to slam it in whenever we need to.
Changes:
"Shuttle code has been completely reworked."
"Shuttles can now be modified to have more than one destination."
"Shuttles now have a takeoff sound."
"You can now throw mobs against walls to damage them. A lot."
"You now need a neckgrab to throw mobs."
"BEING UNBUCKLED DURING SHUTTLE LAUNCH IS DANGEROUS! Don't do it."
"Adminghosts can now interact with all shuttles."

Part 1 in the "why my impact wrench no wrench bolt" saga
tl;dr for end users: combitools / impact wrenches now work on everything their non-powered versions do (except mechs and RIGs, tune in next time on dragon ball Z for that)
essentially all this PR does is murder every istype() check possible that could use a helper function instead, most notably many pen checks with ispen(). it also repaths combitools and powerdrills to /obj/item/weapon so they aren't instantly taken out of contention by half of the known attackby() prompts
I already squashed a couple runtimes here and there from the pen changes and it's possible I missed another because pencode is another scourge upon our lives
Asymmetrical accessories can now be flipped! This is done through the attack_self proc (i.e., activating it in your active hand), or a right-click menu if the item already has an attack_self behaviour.
This affects:
Stethoscopes
All medals
All badges
Armbands
Holsters
Machete Holster
Scarves
TCFL ribbons
Shoulder capes
Sleeve patches
Bandoliers
Political pins
This PR is depending on #4868 for it's ui framework. This PR mostly makes new SSrecords subsystem responsible for storing records. This should replace old datacore.
Make new SSrecords.
Make things use SSrecords and whole code compile
Made VueUi button <vui-button> to push parameters as JSON, preserving client side data stricture.
Add new records console and admin record management.
I am mostly looking for feedback regarding SSrecords and it's data storage mechanism criticism (It's using lists for storage)
Modifies the Handheld Health Analyzer's readouts a little.
Firstly, it displays if someone is malnourished or dehydrated.
Secondly, it changes the numerical damage values you get if you scan someone into words, this prevents doctors from screaming "OH YOU HAVE 0.3 TOXINS", which doesn't really make sense in any term of lore standards. I guess. Lmao.
Thirdly, it removes the weird "Anatomical damage detected" lines, because those are literally just repeats of the damage values you're already getting.
This PR will lead us towards the Promised Day, for in its wake there shall be much celebration and ecstasy as this world becomes a world suitable for developer hegemony. The first strike is thusly;
All << is converted into to_chat().
Newscaster stories can now be multiple lines long and contain pencode formatting.
You can now post and view comments on individual newscaster stories.
Newscaster stories have slightly neater styling.
You can now like and dislike newscaster stories, and these are tracked per-story.
Journalists are now their own role, with a Security Correspondent alt-title.
The merchandise store (when has it ever been used?) has been replaced with a journalist's office.
The journalist has a pet spiderling in a jar, named Peter. He's harmless. Probably.
-rewrites a bit of the code, to make it less terrible
-fixes #4657 by making sure that the pda properly explodes now
-removes relative pathing from the pda box
Converts the news network into a subsystem
Loads news from a database at the start of the round
No longer ties the PDAs to the tcoms system to access the news (which was broken anyway)
Removes the trivial news event
Adds the already existing virology / xenobiology containment events to the rotation
* Repaths eyes, observers, dview, and new_players to /mob/abstract subtypes.
* Adds /mob/abstract, a base type for 'abstract' mobs that aren't meant to be directly affected by the game world.
