It’s the difference between [ˈpoʊlɪʃ] (Polish, nationality) and [ˈpɑlɪʃ] (eg. car polish) - both pronounced in their US variants. The former is pronounced like the /o/ in “open”

- Comment on The Last Truly Custom Nintendo: A 3DS Retrospective 1 week ago:
After finding out that you can (rather easily) jailbreak the 3DS family consoles, I promptly did so for my childhood 3DS, loaded a bunch of Layton games onto it and gave it to my SO for her birthday two years ago. She’s had a blast with it. No way in hell will I be paying 100+€ just for two used copies of the 3DS Layton games if I can just jailbreak the console and get all the games I could want.
After clowning on it for years, I also got myself a 2DS because it was the cheapest 3DS-family handheld I could afford and have had a lot of fun with it too

Not OP, but I haven’t seen it recommended in this thread yet: the Monster Hunter games for 3DS are really good. Specifically 4 Ultimate is considered by fans of the games to be among the very best the series has to offer. Added verticality to the very flat games before, lots of new moves for existing weapons that make them actually viable options, amazing new monster designs and areas etc etc. Huge recommendation.
If you’ve played Monster Hunter back in the PSP days, Generations might be up your alley since it’s kind of like a best-of title of most main-line MH games prior. Really beautiful homage to the roots of the franchise

I’ll second this, actually. I used to hate on PC gaming for around a decade or so because it always seemed to prohibitively expensive to me compared to a console. But after building my very first PC with used parts off ebay for around 300-400€ in total, I think, I can confirm that it works really well overall.
Most of the games I’ve played so far perform really well, some even play on highest settings (and that’s with just a 1080 ti), and it’s a PC, so multitasking, office work, homework and whatnot are all possible. Running the OS off an SSD makes loading times in games comparatively fast to the PS5’s SSD, sometimes even faster.
And I haven’t spent a single Euro on games because of a plethora of 🏴☠️ options, which is possible on console depending on the console, but ultimately hinges on jailbreaking your console and voiding a potential warranty.
Overall, I’m very pleased with my PC experience right now. Ever since building the PC, I haven’t played on console, and that’s coming from someone who was playing on console pretty much exclusively since around 2017

To tell which sounds are voiced or voiceless, put a finger or two on your larynx and look for the vibration. /th/ as in “thread” is voiceless - no vibration - whereas /th/ in “the” is voiced - vibration

Lutris and one other program is used for that, I seem to remember. I’ll probably have to do some research. What’s the current go-to distro for gaming?
- Comment on As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity 3 weeks ago:
What would adding the games to Steam accomplish? I assume I can’t just log on to my account and have the required files to download and install the games since they’re not originally from Steam. Or is it just a matter of being able to launch them once they’re added to the client? Or a convenience thing?

If someone, totally not me, were in possession of exe-files of games outside a platform like Steam, Epic or whatever, would it be possible to run them on a Linux distribution? Say something like a Steam rip or a GOG rip
- Comment on Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, 18 years old titan and still the greatest strategy game of it's kind 3 weeks ago:
I’m pretty bad at RTS because I get overwhelmed by the amount of options you have at any given moment. Star Craft, Warcraft, Age of Empires - doesn’t matter. :D
I think I also remember building times for units to be super long. Do I remember correctly?
- Comment on Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, 18 years old titan and still the greatest strategy game of it's kind 3 weeks ago:
I remember seeing a friend of mine play Supreme Commander back in the day and it looked fun but hella complicated. I remember there being some green-coded race that had some sort of princess as a leader? They have a spaceship that looks like a donut

- Comment on They say remote working less productive 4 weeks ago:
Had a breakdown today because, after being on sick leave for a week, I came back to school and realised I need to prepare three therapies for tomorrow in between classes and barely any time to thoroughly prepare even one of them. But nooooo, working from home for those days where just school wouldn’t work because we have a contract that obligates us to be physically present. Plus, we’re just not as productive. Sure. Fuck my 2h of commuting everyday

Preach. I doubt there’s too much you can do though given human anatomy and the (lack of) space in the pharynx
- Comment on The absolute WORST 1 month ago:
If you have trouble swallowing tablets and pills, even when you drink something to have it go down easier, it might be worth checking out different consistencies of food to go along with it. Many elderly people take their pills in yoghurts and puddings and stuff like that. Soft foods in general also work. A drink should usually help though.
If it’s tablets and pills that explicitly need to be taken dry, you could try a swallowing technique called a “chin tuck” where you push your chin towards your chest before swallowing and then swallow while your chin is still tucked. That way, you leave less room/area for the tablet/pill to get “stuck on”. It could help but doesn’t necessarily have to help

Mantis God all the way. And OP death cards are fun too. I had a 1 mana 7/7 with flying and double strike the other run, I think, which was pretty nuts

- Comment on Finished Inscryption two days ago and I am absolutely amazed (minor spoilers) 2 months ago:
You should be fine. It’s a card game first and foremost, so no enemies sneaking up on you per se. There are some creepy things happening and, without going too much into detail, a lot of fourth-wall breaks - you’ll know when you see. That can take you by surprise a little, but if you’re fine dealing with that, you should be ok.
There can be some minor body horror involved that can be a little gross. There is one action you need to take to progress the game eventually.
Overall, it’s not full of jumpscares - it’s just scary atmosphere and creepy vibes. I myself am usually rather easily scared by video games, but I’ve been fine throughout. Give the first hour or so a try to get a good feel for it. The rest of the creepiness will unfold itself later on

As the other commenter said. Alternatives are also SLP - speech and language practitioner/pathologist, but I don’t think there’s a standardised name that’s always used in English. “Logopedics” is probably not used that often in English compared to “Logopädie” in German
- Comment on Who is the enemy? 2 months ago:
SLTs hate pacifiers. They’re horrible for a child’s teeth, leads to costantly open mouths, are bad for posture etc… Most patients’ parents who come into therapy are good about weaning their kids but some don’t and don’t know about the harm either
