There’s a mountain range that runs essentially down the middle of the entire country, which makes human habitation largely untenable in those areas. No one’s coming for the forest there.

In Japanese they don’t say yes, they say good. The word for good is ii (sounds like eee). There’s not a different consonant or vowel to break up saying “good” over and over, so you just hear iiiiiiiiiiiiii.

I agree there are still a lot of problems with social media, not the least of which is I’m not sure if yt or fb ever adjusted their algos to not immediately start pushing alt right and neo nazi content. But don’t forget that the suicide rates are also correlated with a bunch of other bad shit, like growing income inequality and healthcare spending, loss of 3rd places, rent hikes, etc.

OK seriously, how tf does twitter work? I went to her profile and found a post that’s labeled as a reply, but when I click on it there’s no way to see what she’s replying to. Why did anyone ever use such a shitty platform?

Do you think STEM women don’t face sexism? Address what I said, not something else.

Is the individual context not that in STEM women often face sexism, not something else?

This robs people of their individual context.

Spoilers haha. But yeah, seems like a bit more of a casual experience from the couple hours I’ve put in so far. Glad it was like a buck fifty

I ran across a metroidvania called Feudal Alloy set in a medieval world where you and all the enemies are low-tech robots with fish bowls as heads. There’s an interesting mechanic where swinging your sword generates heat and if you’re overheated you can’t attack temporarily. You can upgrade different parts of your body to fit the situation or your play style (more armor/damage/health, slower overheat, faster cooldown, etc), and the art is nice.
Felt like a lucky find for me because I just found out about it last week from an old vid on one of the yt gaming channels I follow (Let’s Game It Out if anyone likes watching a dude try to break games by essentially QA testing the hell out of them), and when I checked the steam sale this week it came up for under 2 bucks.

I finally got tired of Melvor after like a year and the first DLC. I guess I could see myself going back and doing the 2nd one at some point but my interest hasn’t been there since I put it down some time last year.
Even before that though I think that township thing was a huge misstep. I’m all for trying some new stuff as a dev and not everyone’s going to be happy but cramming some weird town management sim into the incremental rpg genre never really made much sense to me.

In Japan they don’t have cormeal as part of the diet, so a corn dog would’ve been a confusing name. They ended up calling it an American dog.

I know there’s data about this but I still can’t quite understand it. How is the time change any different from getting a little busier than usual one night and missing your bedtime by an hour? I can’t see how a single hour could possibly cause such drastic health effects.

I dunno, computers aren’t like phones where your provider is offering you incentives to chuck your old one every 2 years. There’ll be an increase of waste from businesses for sure, but I think most people don’t really pay attention to their security updates and will just keep using their pcs until they need a newer one for personal reasons (playing newer games, old one bricked, etc)
- Comment on I notice Indians speaking English tend to speak very fast. Are the Indian languages simply spoken faster? 1 month ago:
I remember seeing a linguist doing research into the actual timing of long Japanese vowels and finding that they weren’t actually double the length, more like 1.5 times as long (or 1.7 or something like that). I’ll have to see if I can find the article or paper again.
