I like the idea of not yielding semantic authority to fascists. Like here in Germany, I’ve seen (minor) shitstorms over the phrase “to each their own” (“Jedem das Seine”) because the Nazis put that on the gate of Buchenwald concentration camp. But the principle of “suum cuique” goes way back to ancient times and is a central tenet of our legal system. So why should we let Nazis dictate what the words we use mean?

That said, they coined a whole bunch of expressions that are rightfully frowned upon to this day and I have no issue with that kind of criticism. I’ve never felt the need to label anyone’s relationship as “racial shame,” for instance.

Just my two cents.

Right in the qussy.

Doesn’t exist in German? What about “Frohes Schaffen”?

I wasn’t aware of the existence of this tool until now, so thanks for posting this here.

Let me guess, it’s about…leather-upholstered furniture?

French scholars are famous for their mastery of obscurantism. That’s what this is called.

If by FPS you mean Fahrenheit per second then yes. 👍

It’s like old people on Facebook. ORDER CORN

Wrong.

“Most US voters say” AKA Not Gonna Happen.

Honestly I don’t understand why Iran hasn’t felt some very real consequences for its support of Russia yet. Like, why do the factories producing Shahed still exist?

ITT: Because it would be and possibly poisonous.

Hence their ongoing efforts to ban Critical Race Theory.

They often come equipped with a privacy slider to cover the lens. Or you can just put a sticker on them.

Yup, my first thought as well. While those days are thankfully over, those braindead BIOS “help” messages remain etched into my mind forever.

I was actually just thinking they should do this as an interim solution and then make optimized LODs to replace the automatic ones with. In fact, perhaps that would have been the thing to do instead of making advance apologies. Slightly suboptimal image quality at release would probably have been more tolerable than heinously bad performance.

Maybe CO should just straight up hire Mr. Huhtala if they lack the in-house acumen to produce the insights he provides in this outstanding article. That said, they might already know everything he describes in his blog post and might simply have run out of time to implement the improvements. In that case, the likely culprit would be pressures from management and/or the publisher to release now, ahead of the important Christmas season. Whatever the case may be, delaying the game would have been the right call. I remain cautiously optimistic but will keep waiting to purchase the game.

Same with “mosey,” I think.
