PC, Switch, PS4; ok
Xbox, SNES, GBA; rare but welcome
Genesis, Saturn, Neo Geo; incredibly rare!Some of these, such as the Saturn and GBA, are such wildly different platforms!
Porting this must have been no small feat, and I wonder if there are differences between some of the versions? - Comment on It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple? 3 weeks ago:
Alternative forms
Eerdappel […] (obsolete)
As Arnhemmer, I don’t completely agree.

Oh absolutely!
They just had no ananas exposure beyond that from the Americans. - Comment on It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple? 4 weeks ago:
as they couldn’t pronounce the Dutch word
I mean I can’t blame them, the language’s phonosyntactics are very different from French, it’s hard to pronounce in general and sounds awful to boot.

It’s a bit cherry picked, but only a bit, since there are a few languages that just copied the English word later on.
Japanese and Korean come to mind. - Comment on Badgers 4 weeks ago:
TBH, “reveals itself by shivving you anyway” is probably closer to the truth with Brittons and their tea.

There is no concencus, slightly more people oppose to rename the page, but only sightly.
I hope they keep it up, to avoid confusion, and to spite their current, dickhead CEO

Hm. I suppose you could see it like that philosophically.
I’d say it more like, you have not won yet until you check and see you’ve won, but I guess that train of thought works, as well.
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
Buy a game more often if it’s directly on your OS and less if you’ll have to play the Windows version, with indies and very small publishers you could openly request a build for your OS, or at least leave more positive reviews for games with a build for your OS than ones that don’t.
TL;DR make it obvious that there is demand, rather than using a virtualiser and depend on the other system.
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
If Windows becomes unpopular as a gaming OS, and most publishers and platforms don’t differentiate between genuine Windows and Linux/macOS via Proton/Wine, they’ll stop releasing on it. No matter how many people play on Linux or macOS.

As a sidenote, looking up what the mathematical symbol actually means gave me this gem
𝕏 redirects here, for the social media, see Twitter
Even the Wikipedia community refuses to acknowledge this!

I personally basically never have a reason to mention the site when taking to another person, but if/when I do, I’ll call it Twitter just because calling it ex was confusing in almost every context.

Because it’s text.
There are more kind of letters then just our latin alphabet. Cyrillic, aboriginal Canadian and even Chinese and Japanese can be typed by just text for instance （日本語の例え）
In the same vein, mathematical and other scientific symbols can be typed using just text, and 𝕏 is the symbol that stands in place for arbitrary distance in a formula.
Basically, it’s just a (mathematical) letter, it can be typed.
That’s also why their new CEO had difficulties copyrighting it; it’s just a letter, after all! - Comment on quantum mechanics 1 month ago:
How so?

Oh no, I’m not saying it benefits them. It just means we depend on them.

That means you’ll be playing the Microsoft Windows version on Linux, yes.
