Why are so many people here calling Spez “Spaz”? Isn’t that considered to be a slur similarly to the r-word?

Aren’t there mods? At least texture packs, right?

Preach. The amount of mental gymnastics displayed by omnis and carnies should make it an Olympic sport. Cognitive dissonance at its finest

I’d laugh if this weren’t so sad. Sounds like Sony is doing what they can to can any developer under their umbrella. Although, that’s more of a Microsoft thing, sad to see this happen so frequently

Manual updates via jailbroken console are probably not an option either, right?

Is the game updated at all nowadays on PS3?

+1 for URL Check. Trimming down on baked-in trackers and stuff in links you click on is awesome
- Comment on YSK that if you hover your mouse over each segment of Wikipedia's IPA pronunciation key (typically found at the beginning of an article), it will let you know how it sounds in the tooltip 4 weeks ago:
It depends on the language you’re coming from and whose IPA transcription you’re learning. I’ve got a Bachelor’s in English linguistics so I’ve initially learned about IPA in the context of the English language. Being a native German, it was a bit difficult to get into it and remember all “special” characters that are exclusive to English and don’t appear in German or rather “uncharacteristic” realisations of German phonemes.
In my second Bachelor’s, I studied IPA in a German phonetics class and actually were really fine in that class - got used to the character since most German phonemes match with their IPA counterparts.
In my current SLP apprenticeship, I’d wager that I’m best in class in terms of IPA: transcribing utterances phonetically and reading IPA.
All of that to say, it’s weird at first but since German and English share the same language family and both languages’ letters match the IPA versions, it’s quite manageable, I’d wager. Welcoming any other opinions :)

The Dishonored series is amazing and is usually pretty cheap when on sale. A couple bucks at most, maybe.
Another immersive sim to recommend would be Prey. The DLC is really good too

Finally, I can proudly proclaim that I’m no longer bound Microsoft’s bullshit. Been a rocky start, but I’ve been happily using Kubuntu on my Surface for a while now, and it’s going awesome
- Comment on My basement is clean because it makes me feel like I have my shit together (I don't) 5 weeks ago:
Dude, this is so me. I desperately yearn for a four-day work week. 2 days off isn’t enough.
Fridays are only half a day off, essentially. On Saturdays, I get to sleep in sorta but have to go grocery shopping, cooking food, maybe meeting friends if I feel like it. Sundays I vacuum the flat, load the dishwasher or washing machine, go to the gym, leaving me basically with a couple hours to myself at most.
But hey, I got to play a little Lies of P yesterday and smoke some weed which was cool. A welcome change from the usual
- Comment on Just started playing Life is Strange 5 weeks ago:
I think Before the Storm is the best in the series. At least it was back when I played it some odd 6 years ago.
2 was actually a strong contender for me up until the ending. I liked the dynamic of the two protagonists and could relate to it because I have a little brother too

Maybe it’s an ingredient that you’re intolerant/allergic to? Your nose is connected to your pharynx after all, so maybe an ingredient that’s prevalent in bakeries or pastries triggers a reaction with you? Do you experience any other symptoms?

- Comment on Body horror, the skull kid, the impending doom when you look up at the sky... 1 month ago:
It’s an interesting discussion. I feel like horror movies don’t come close to horror games for me, personally, as someone who doesn’t enjoy either of them. The really scary horror movies that don’t rely on jumpscares to scare the audience don’t nearly creep me out as much as playing a horror game. You’re in the driver’s seat, you’re in control, whatever happens on screen happens to you. In movies, you’re fine off usually and can just dissociate yourself from whatever is happening on screen to the characters involved. My two cents
