  • Be that as it may, I honestly don’t see what difference that would make in regards to OP’s point… While it is spmewhat rather ironic, their argument over choice of word(s) in this particular situation is - imo, anyway- not one of semantics, but more of localization.

    Either way, whether this is a language selector or region switcher (or any variation on such a theme for that matter), I believe the point OP was - correctly, if you ask me - making is: Whenever a UX/UI element is needed to prompt for proper display language, each language should be displayed however it appears in its native tongue as opposed to how it appears in whatever language is currently selected.

    As an added bonus, this also solves the problem of a user inadvertently changing the language (or forgetting to lock their workstation when leaving briefly and returning to find it changed to “help them remember to lock their station when not in active use” allegedly… not that that’s happened to anyone I know or anything) and being unable to change it back due to not knowing how to spell “English” in Japanese, for example.



  • Well, it isn’t like he hasn’t earned it at this point… How the fuck are you gonna spend the better part of a decade buying up a shit ton of studios - ostensibly to make you a competitive stable of console moving exclusives - to have almost all of them release what are arguably their worst games time and time again… So to compensate, they shutter studios who’ve just produced games almost universally lauded by critics and crowd alike, and then just say fuck it, we never even believed in exclusives to begin with, yet decided not to take a stand on it until… now for… reasons…? 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️




  • Underaquaia? Seaunderia? Drownica? Or, my personal favorite: “fuck ugly giant cthulu adjacent heart attack inducer 2”

    I can only imagine the new PTB are already working feverishly to add mandatory for story progression, 30+ hour combined Seatruck and Snowfox segments, a minigun which mounts to the seaglide, and mats necessary for key endgame craftables which are conveniently available exclusively through loot boxes you can earn by sending individual dev team members your nudes or earn 15 a week absolutely free with your monthly Deep Dive Club subscription

    Also, from orbit the planet looks completely covered by ocean, but once you land it’s like calf high at its highest… but there are still leviathans, for some reason. Because fuck you, that’s why.



  • Look, I didn’t want to have to be the one to say this, but since no one else is apparently going to: That toddler looks rough af bro… I mean, basically like a nearly grown ass man.

    Hopefully they land on their face and you can get it some of that sweet, sweet reconstructive surgery so it isn’t fuck ugly all its life.

    Obviously, you look fine and stuff tho, OP. Don’t consider my words a poor reflection upon your semen/egg quality. I’m sure they get it from their other parent. Now, let’s move on before anyone points out that, best case scenario, I’ve now creepy ass things




  • Not to sound like I’m jumping directly to something extreme right off the bat or anything, but just from your characterization of her moods seeming to vacillate between such extreme highs (I want to be a prodigy at everything) and extreme lows (I’m worthless and horrible) paired with the grandiose thinking (FAME!) it kinda sounds like she might be suffering from bi-polar disorder… Severe ADHD with some form of depression that’s going unmedicated (or possibly unsuccessfully self-medicated) could also be a possibility as well…

    How often do these shifts in mood occur?

    Also - and perhaps more importantly - while I think it’s honestly super admirable of you to seem to be so interested in helping a friend (particularly one you don’t even know irl, to boot), it’s important to remember not to allow yourself to think that you, solely, are responsible for their mood, self-esteem, or well being. That may sound callous at first, but - and I say this as someone who has suffered from mental illness(es) for as long as I can recall - it’s like they tell you on planes: You have to secure your own oxygen mask first before helping with anyone else’s… To put it another way: If you let the drowning person drag you under, you certainly aren’t going to be saving them (or yourself, for that matter). Please don’t take this as discouragement toward trying to help, by any means, as you 100% should, imo. I just feel like even if you already know, it doesn’t hurt to have it reinforced.







  • Science is pretty much by definition supposed to be an objective measurement of the universe, uncolored and unaffected by political or idealogical bias (those would be your “political censorship” and “funding cuts” you mentioned, since you’re apparently having trouble following along…) Since science should be objective, funding based on idealogical grounds or the political censorship of research is anathema to science, as it is by definition not objective. I’m not sure how I can make that any clearer.

    I’m not sure what about any of this has to do with me making friends, but let me know how attempting to be condescending and thinking you’re clever while completely missing a simple point works out for you… Cuz I may be autistic, but you’re stupid, and I know which I’d rather be 🤣😂
