@WaterMuseum_ he's earned the right, but he's on thin ice...

Coworkers keep pitching me on Dungeon Crawler Carl and I’m trying to be polite about it. If the author wanted me to read his books he shouldn’t have made a SFF book about a guy named Carl who runs around barefoot and in his undies with a cat named Princess Donut. I’m an adult.

@rakishromantic @eris_nerung he's just kind of a dumb moron

@kynnigos @oodja it is about as much a sin as fagles' "a man of many twists and turns" -- which is so much wordier than the relatively simple epithet that it serves a wholly different function. translation is always a process of negotiation -- nothing is 1:1 translatable.

@kynnigos @oodja multifaceted is not iambic pentameter. also, critically, she wrote it down. you can read her justificiation.

if she is guilty of anything, it is probably in putting too much stock in later greek use of the word. not a vast sin in the grand scheme

[mike moomintraut @brynteresting]

@aledeniz @oodja you can read her rationale.

it’s fairly good.

it’s better than yours: “his intelligence is capable of evaluate and chose among multiple paths” <- this is not a valid english sentence, and seriously mars your credibility re english translations.

@buzzingburner @cosmicjester @moyutong888 jim chalmers said “grandparenting” last night on 7:30, so they haven’t stopped altogether

The vast majority of story-based games touted as some masterpiece would be at like 13% on Rotten Tomatoes and forgotten immediately after release if it were a film

Tenía un primo que en la adolescencia se encerraba en su cuarto a llorar mientras escuchaba a Sufjan Stevens. Esta semana se casa con una mujer. La vida en verdad es impredecible

@JDVance Sorry but you were the only baby ever worth choosing crack over. Every time your mom neglected you was justified. Sorry. Amy Adams sucked in that movie too, sorry. Nothing you touch ever goes right. You should try some of Elon’s medicine sometime. Sorry.

[Bread @breadthaumazein]

a 'fake' part two to don quixote, anonymously published in a world w/o copyright, spurred cervantes to write his own part two a year just before his death - it is one of the greatest works in world history altogether, & ultimately indebted & inextricably tied to the fake part two

[Eleanor Red @TheRedGoner]

The reason why AAA Mario got misapplied so poorly is because people actually like the kinds of games that were actually being made fun of so they don't understand it at all

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

there’s this line of argument i see a lot in different ideological contexts that prohibition is a failure unless it works 100% of the time, as if the difference between 0% and 80% wasn’t meaningful
