Because the ones that we hear about are the ones that are good enough to have even made it out of Japan. If a game was bad, it wouldn’t be localized to an English-speaking audience, and we wouldn’t even know it exists.

It’s the same sort of thinking as asking why (insert media here) was better in the past. The answer is simple - good songs, games, movies, etc. tend to be more memorable, and so we remember the good ones and forget the bad ones. To put it briefly, there’s survivorship bias.

Braid. Sounds like a dress up game but it’s a puzzle platformers about time travel. I always have to explain it every time I talk about it

One of my cats love fishing used tea leaves out from mugs. She doesn’t eat them, she just paws the leaves out from the cups and then leaves them on the counter. We have no idea why she does it but she absolutely insists on doing it. No other cat does this.

Extremely disappointed. They had some very passionate people on the project and I was hoping that they’ll turn things around over the next several years.

People here can’t seem to understand sarcasm

Don’t you mean carchy tuns?

I wonder if it’s partly so that they can have a studio in the US. My understanding is that EN talents have to go to Japan if they want to use the 3D equipment, so it would make sense from a business perspective to have a working studio in the US. Lowers the travel expenses that I’m betting Cover had to reimburse every time an EN talent flies to Japan for a studio trip

Perhaps, but that’s a relatively spectacular case. If my memory serves me correctly, the average typing speed is around 40 wpm. And sure, that kind of speed can get the job done but it definitely won’t be a good time. My elementary school was pretty forward-thinking in this respect. They signed us up for computer literacy and typing courses that would last for multiple years that we would do in computer class. I think everyone in my class was hitting at least 50 wpm by middle school. I was typing a solid 70 wpm.

Anyways, I think there are certain aspects of typing where having guidance could really help. I know people who chicken-peck because that’s just how they’ve always done it and they’ve never broken that habit.

As a side note, typing well isn’t something that can easily be learned by simply typing more. If her typing is a concern (and it may well be since she’ll be typing much more in college), it may be helpful to search for some typing courses. My impression is that there are some free online ones, but I don’t remember any off the top of my head.

Thanks, didn’t know it had an autosave feature, but I do now. Your story is appreciated

Search up “meme” in community search, subscribe to all the ones that interest you. Unlike 9gag, which just feeds you a stream of posts, you need to be proactive in knowing what you want and finding it. To a lesser extent, Reddit suffers from the same problem. (Though my understanding is that Reddit is becoming increasingly curated, making Reddit increasingly like 9gag in that respect). Regardless, with this type of social media, the 2 biggest ways of finding communities are to actively look for it yourself or to find out from a someone else.

It can also be a good idea to look at c/trendingcommunities@feddit.nl to keep updated on new communities

That’s when the malicious compliance kicks in. Start a new ticket with a picture of your monitor, with the entire screen taped off. Ask why you can’t find your mouse

Ah yes. In addition, it’s only polite to refer to yourself as “ore,” and a true gentleman will also refer to everyone with the -chan suffix.

I won’t say whether it’s better or worse to ban phones during break, but I do think it is worthwhile to point out something that you might not know, given that you’re still in school.

School is most likely the last time in your life to have actual, true friends. In college, and especially in work, your friends will almost certainly be fair weather friends, friends made out of convenience rather than anything substantial.

I get that school sucks. I still think so. But there’s some benefits to how schools are run that you won’t recognize until you’re already out of school. Your social life will absolutely get tougher and you’ll be more isolated. So, my advice is to take the bad with the good. Have some fun with your friends in-person, because that’s really never going to happen again. Please don’t waste your school life on your phone.

Definitely better than Tenet but still not great. I could follow most of the dialogue but I missed a couple lines

He’s the literal reincarnation of capital-G God. Also there are other reincarnations of God running around the universe. Kirby lore is… unusual

Oh, I completely agree with you. People are naturally night owls, morning birds, and everything in between. There’s actually quite a lot of research into what exactly makes someone a morning bird or a night owl, and you’d be surprised to know that it’s not entirely psychological! It’s known that genetics is a factor, but we’re still not entirely sure of all the possible reasons why someone might be a morning bird vs. a night owl.

That being said, one of the big reasons why people are staying later nowadays is because of the light tricking our bodies into thinking that it’s still daytime, so it is definitely something to consider if you feel like you might be going to sleep a little too late.

And I completely agree that a lot of institutions were set up to cater to morning birds, and it makes it really difficult for night owls to get by. I empathize completely that night owls kind of have to choose between their own health (by disrupting their natural circadian rhythms) and not being able to get anything done.

The one glimmer of hope is that circadian rhythms is actually a shockingly new field of research, having only really been around for about 20 years. Sure, people knew about the cycle of waking up/going to bed for thousands of years, but researchers only really began to look at what’s really going on on a cellular and molecular level recently. And hopefully, the more we know about it, the more we can change the idea that institutions have to cater to morning birds

Not to invalidate your point, but I just want to qualify and add on to your comment.

I’m a researcher studying the molecular causes behind circadian rhythms (ie, what exactly does our cells do that gives us circadian rhythms?) and how circadian rhythms affect our ability to fight off infections. Over the past 10 or so years, we’ve come to realize that circadian rhythms affect a lot of our biology, and a lot of its effects are directly measurable and not psychological. (That is to say, we have a direct, molecular cause-and-effect for how circadian rhythms affect our cells.) Having a messed up sleep schedule has been shown to mess up your circadian clock, and that has pretty bad downstream effects on how well your body can resist infections.

That being said, some people are natural night owls, and your body is (supposed to be able to) naturally adjust its circadian clock to match your external time. If you’re a night owl, then forcing yourself to stay awake in the morning/going to bed early at night is itself a disruption to your circadian clock. The best that I would recommend, if you do want to go to bed earlier, is to dim the lights at night. Your circadian clock uses light to measure the time, and you could be inadvertently tricking your circadian clock into thinking that it’s earlier than it actually is.

Edit: Also, felt like I need to add, researching circadian rhythms is probably one of the most hypocritical things you can do as a work, because my sleep schedule is mad fucked and I know exactly how it’s affecting my body and I can’t do anything about it

That’s my main complaint with Linux. I really want to switch over, but the software compatibility is abysmal, and I would rather not run a virtual machine or dual boot. I’m really glad that Valve is at least helping out with software compatibility on the gaming side, but compatibility really just needs to improve across all software in general
