Splatoon 1 let you play five different minigames on the wii u pad, including a pretty solid rhythm game, while waiting, nothing else has come close for me
Is it chilling? I was already going to stay where I am, whether I made a copy or not. Sharding off a replica to go on for me would be strictly better than not doing that
But like… do I care? “I” will survive, even if I’m not the one who does the surviving.
What are you talking about? They show the headphone battery being replaced in the same image as the case. It’s a little button cell that hinges out.
Surely they mean entirety as in “the entire monthly player numbers of every game on steam”, not “the quantity of accounts that’ve ever been created”
No, you see, you just get every citizen to pay a little bit into the bridge, and then everyone can use it. Maybe we put some of that money aside and establish a group of people to care for the bridge, upkeep and whatnot. It wouldn’t be fair to just pick them arbitrarily, so we should probably hold some kind of vote. And, well, I guess the money will run out, so maybe we take a little more from everyone every year, just to keep it in good shape
Huh? That sounds like what? Gov–
Oh fuck wait shit i mean DONT TREAD ON ME
Sorry, did you think that was meant to be a defense of the man? Do you think his fanatics would ever describe him as “outrageously lax”? Read, mate, read.
No, it’s not supposed to make it better. It’s worse. “His tunnels are oozing with sludge” is mysterious, meant to draw readers in. The truth is, like every goddamn thing he’s ever done, he’s mismanaged it so hard and cut so many corners that he’s caused yet another entirely predictable, entirely preventable industrial disaster.
I can hate Elon Musk and clickbait at the same time, mate.
According to the article, it’s not the completed tunnels, but rather, the dig sites. It’s mostly normal digging byproduducts (silt, rock dust, sand, water), but also chemicals for making/setting grout. All of that stuff is “normal”, but the outrageously lax safety standards have let it build up rather than be dealt with.
“Elon Musk Tunnels Oozing with Skin-Burning Chemical Sludge” is a sensationalist clickbait take. “Elon Musk’s Tunnels-In-Progress Full of Improperly Stored/Disposed-Of Dangerous Chemical Waste” wouldn’t spark the imagination so hard.
I can’t even understand what he’s trying to say. “You claim the system is broken, but it made you mad, so I guess it’s working 😎”
It’s fiiine, I thought it was funny and also possibly true
Anecdotally, and perhaps ironically, they were right, I am dyslexic, and I definitely do perceive letters as permuted quite often. The second link really chuffs me because it’s clearly a non-dyslexic person openly speculating as if they’re authoritative, but this theory of “3d processing” words jives with neither other literature about dyslexia, nor my own experience. I’m pretty sure this is just someone showerthinking about a disorder. The errors I make are pretty incompatible with seeing whole words from the wrong “angle”; letters are switched, sometimes even between adjacent words (I might see “angle” as “angel”, or “and rain” as “an drain”), similar graphs are misread as each other (the classic example is [b / d / p / q], sometimes also g depending on font; [w / m / E], [e / a], [T / L], so on), words can be entirely displaced elsewhere in a sentence…
So yes, like, I definitely do see some letters backwards or upside down or mirrored, etc.
There are people in PR thread explaining it’s a reference to this screenshot. Which is fake, for the record.
The headset even says “Mac User” a few seconds before this.
Even more technically, the line between dialect and language is a blurry one, decided in part by the speakers’ intent and identity. British English, American English, Canadian English, Australian English, and Indian English are dialects, but Scots is its own language? Danish, Swedish, and Norweigan are separate languages, but Française French and Québécois French are dialects?
English speakers tend to have a very binary view of language vs. dialect, because English exists in this weird linguistic zone where its closest living relatives are all… slightly different English. Sure, it can be a bit difficult to grok some terms from across the pond, but with a short list of vocab words you can generally understand other Englishes just fine, whereas you’ll understand other languages pretty much not at all. There’s not really any mutually-intelligible other languages that English speakers can more-or-less communicate with. At best, you can pick out a handful of similarities in germanic/scandi languages because of shared heritage.
That’s not the case, globally. The Scandinavians (sans Finland) can all talk to each other, (the old running joke of <x language> sounds like <y language> drunk and/or with a potato in their mouth) but they’re “different languages”. Germans and the Dutch can generally understand each other, maybe not at full speaking speed, but at very least reading. A lot of African languages are essentially a spectrum of regional variants on each other, and so speakers of one will be able to make themselves understood to varying degrees to speakers of another depending on how far diverged they are; the same is largely true for the Middle East. But then we say Portugal and Brazil both speak Portugese; Spain and Mexico both speak Spanish. Even though there’s quite the adjustment period for a person from one visiting the other.
There’s no objective standard of what’s “dialect” and what’s “different language”, but a large deciding factor is clearly national identity; people from different countries usually speak different languages (again, English is rather an outlier). The language spoken in Ukraine is not identical to standard Russian. They’re at least as different from each other as some separate languages. So if Ukranians say they speak the Ukrainian language, not Ukrainian Russian, that’s their call.
Good
Let’s just make all wars robots fighting robots, and nobody has to get killed.
Why the fuck would I have any attachment to a company that has no attachment to me? Eat dicks.
This isn’t a “remake in development”, it’s a one-off CG animation the guy made to celebrate the 25th anniversary.
