That’s one reason I’ve ordered a few titles from PlayAsia recently. For example, the NTSC switch edition of the Metal Gear Solid collection requires downloading the titles. With the PlayAsia edition, lo and behold- everything is on the card, and multiple languages to boot.

Watch Loki. I think we have our big bad.

So, this is both fascinating and remarkably simple once you learn some basics about how spoken language evolves.

Let’s start here: say “woman” out loud. Now, say it again, and this time pay attention to your tongue. When you said “woman,” did you pronounce the “o” sound at the front of your mouth, higher in your mouth, and the “a” at the back, lower in your mouth?

Now try this. Say “women,” again paying close attention to where the vowel sounds come from in your mouth. First pronounce “women” as it is written- kind of like “woah men.” Do you feel how much more work that requires that pronouncing “woman” does? Now, pronounce “women” as you naturally do. Assuming you are in North America, this probably sounds a bit like “wimmin.”

Probably, this “wimmin” pronunciation feels easier and more natural. This is largely because those vowel sounds originate in roughly the same area. When a word has multiple vowel sounds and they move from front to back or top to bottom, there’s a good chance we will naturally shift towards an easier pronunciation.

It was confirmed back in January. They very well may have already begun recording lines.

The two are unrelated, just happening confidently AFAIK. That said, the purpose of a widespread strike is to make people that would normally be unaffected pay attention. Grinding the economy to a halt forces action, at least in theory.

It’s just marketing. They want these movies to dominate everyone’s attention, and the juxtaposition between these two is ludicrous enough to get people talking

These older consoles are simple repairs. Start with replacing the capacitors on the board. If that doesn’t do it, you can find the problematic component with a multimeter

Milhouse is not a meme

I’m still salty that 3 was canceled out of spite.

We saw it as community, they saw it as free labor.

Hi, I do console repairs and I’ve done a metric ton of NES. If that 72 pin connector was after market, it will probably wreck your games. If you still have your old connector, or if you can buy a used OEM connector, do the following:

get at least 70 percent iso alcohol and a toothbrush and scrub the connector pins. Next, take the old connector, boil it in water for half an hour and let it cool. Reinstall and test. Don’t be afraid to hit the pins with iso again.

This will save the vast majority of oem connectors, and your games will thank you.

My oldest reddit account was 13 or 14 years old. I remember when reddit would go down several times a week. Growing pains are just part of the deal!

Proof that all we have to do to put a stop to this nonsense is just not play these parasitic titles.

The megami tensei series has some interesting moments like this: to start with, the fact that one of the spinoff series, Persona, is arguably much more successful than the mainline games. I think which of the series is better is up to any given individual’s tastes, but I’ve spoken with many persona fans that have never touched a mainline entry.

Following up on that, I believe that P4 Golden is better than P5/P5 Royal. Don’t get me wrong- P5 has a better soundtrack and is visually striking, but I think P4G gives the player more freedom and has a more cohesive story. Additionally, I think P4G nails the Jungian themes better than P5/P5R. I believe both of these entries are top-tier games, I just also feel that P4G is overlooked in favor of P5R when P4G does nearly everything as well as or better than P5R outside of presentation.

We could try reducing our meat consumption.
