@0ystercatcher_ I started learning it by asking my dad what the words on Age of Empires mission briefings were supposed to mean. Today I could've just used a translator to do it...
I don't know if this was ever avoidable but things started going off the rails when console hard drives meant the physical medium was no longer a limiting factor on game sizes.
Skyrim was 6GB because Bethesda HAD to find a way to get it on a 6GB DVD.
@M__Fromage I've always found something remarkably creepy about the way he and Anthony Bourdain have become these cultural touchstones in a whole new way after they killed themselves. The dead should stay buried.
@DylanALTKY I've gradually transitioned into drinking my joe without any sugar in it whatsoever... The less you indulge in this stuff the less you miss it.
@DavidSharp84 This kind of alliance that has developed between radlibs and "reformed" IS-tier jihadis is one of the weirdest things I've seen in the last two years.
@HikiPTG Media for adults proper died somewhere after the 2008 GFC and never really came back, the most you get since then is edgy crap for overgrown adolescents.
The English are unusual genetically I think because their ancestors were so modern and mobile. The disintegration of peasant subcultures and genetic clusters that started in France or Germany c. 1850 had begun centuries earlier in England, before the Industrial Revolution.
@paulhoti2@shvllwebvgvn Increased diseasse burden + massively increased grinding manual labor. Extant hunter gatherer populations just don't suffer from a range of dissesses they should.
@soundblasterpro@degenbukket One of those things I've always wanted was a thourought look at how many personalities at the very start of the woke wave were exvangelicals. I've got theories about the way they approach the world conceptually never really going away, only changing justification.
@HikiPTG These people do everything backwards, man. You're supposed to say that the piece of media revealed to you your True Essence, not that it saved you from your certain doom!
