Yes but he serves a different community

My suggestion is move it up. I don’t know where on your list it is but higher is probably better.

It’s a fantastic game. There’s still bugs, sometimes even major ones. Still easily worth your time though.

No, but I’m gonna run his code anyway

Yes, that’s nuts. I used to be very happy to have less than one and a half megs on something wider than a deck of cards. Now you’re talking about terabytes on something the size of a pinky fingernail. I could store a half dozen in a pocket in my wallet without noticing them. That’s a lot of storage.

For the record, only 6-10 games is also about 5-10 games more than I could store on one of those floppies, and if it was one it was an old game. It’d be akin to putting Halo: CE (not remastered or anything, original) on a micro SD.

So, yeah, storage is plentiful and readily available.

Nah, portable devices use portable storage. The space available in microSD is nuts

And readily available resources. No need to put effort into space saving tricks when space is so easy to come by

They do and I’d love to have a better method available to us.

However the meme is a little off.

One party doesn’t give a fuck about you, the other actively wishes you harm and works to that end.

They’re not “my team” but they’re well past “the lesser of two evils” given the other one.

I didn’t want to come off dismissive asking how often you’re talking about those specific kinds of plants but maybe it’s a relevant question after all lol

I think you and I have very different experiences. I rarely see that kind of correction if ever.

When you’re in a public space you never know when your words are being consumed by an ESL speaker. I think the best approach is natural yet accurate. They’re going to encounter contractions when dealing with native speakers, but the difference between it’s and its, for example, can be tricky so try to use them as taught.

Spelling mistakes can absolutely be an issue. It’s already hard enough to figure out English spelling without native speakers making it worse. Add on to that the difficulty in any added language of working out near homophones, let alone actual homophones.

I knew someone who was pretty decent with English as their third language but had trouble keeping Texas and taxes straight. I know another guy who is American and uses no in place of know. That one threw me for a while before I figured out what he was trying to say.

I will admit, I do like that “technically” the plural for octopus is “supposed to be” octopods (pronounced like oc-tip-o-dees) but that’s a fun “fact”, not a correction I’ve ever tried to make.

90+% of the time you get common mistakes. Should ofs, they’re - there - their confusions, apostrophes for plurals.

The kind of thing that confuses ESL speakers. The decent thing would seem to be to try and stick to the way it’s taught rather than go with the “it doesn’t matter” route when it absolutely matters to some.

I’m juggling 3 languages

We Americans like to forget that anyone might have any trouble understanding English especially in cases of polyglots.

I don’t know which is your native tongue but from this comment it looks like you’re doing a fine job.

Except that it would be “they should, of course,”.

Also that person may have known what you meant, but another might not and may have any number of reasons for not asking.

Better communication skills are a worthwhile goal and there’s no good reason to not learn and grow.

Not the 1865 Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland which also has the same credentials but, as you can see, is earlier?

Still not sold on calling all of it Isekai regardless, but at least check your own facts

We don’t have an Isekai genre. We have an Other World subgenre of fantasy that Japan made another name for and weebs apply to everything similar.

Well they were unspecific about who it was good for

It never ceases to amaze me that the actor who played an idiot on News Radio, and never really seemed like he was acting, has become what he has.

Given him and Andy Dick both were on there, maybe someone should check in on Dave Foley and Stephen Root.

Sorry, can’t help but make light of this fucker’s bullshit, pardon the French.

It’s no trouble at all, but I don’t know what a seal has to do with any of this or how you spelled phoque so badly

The situation will almost always call for it.

And the rules, as Barbossa would tell you, are more like guidelines. Throw out the ones that hamper fun but take the time to understand which ones those are and why they do.

But no one here can tell you which those will be. They can be different at every table

A worthwhile thing to keep in mind whether it’s for tea, supplements, or whatever, is that medication is based on things that were observed from “natural” sources.

For example, willow bark was/is/has been used for pain and inflammation. It also contains salicin which is similar to acetysalicylic acid, which you’ll know better as aspirin.

Does that mean all the things people say do a thing work? Not at all. Do some of them have varying degrees of effect of some percentage of people? Yes.
