Just finished the Elden Ring DLC, which was overall still fun but felt overtuned at times. While I didn’t use any summons throughout the base game and initially tried to keep it that way, some bosses simply weren’t fun to learn anymore.

Afterwards I dove into my backlog and started God of War 2018. I had pretty high expectations, given how beloved it is. Honestly, it’s fine at best - the combat is boring and the overall design can be summarized as AAA slob. Maybe it does get better, I’m not very far yet.

That’s just such a nothing article. Some bloodsucker investor asked about their AI related plans and, as with everything else in the Q&A, they gave a non-answer.

I’m pretty sure they could re-apply and we’d take them in eventually, same as any other country. They just need to fulfill all the requirements and not demand any of their prior special treatment, which was bullshit anyways.

So much for reclaiming their future, I guess. Assuming the growing far-right sentiment doesn’t destroy the EU, it’s pretty much the best thing that can happen to a country in Europe.

So, what are his goals? “Re-Brenter” the EU? Revert the rampant privatisation? Revert the massive funding cuts to local governments? Prevent the impending bankruptcy of many cities? There are so many problems to tackle and I probably only know a fraction of them myself, not being British and all.

Doesn’t work, since they are fulfilled sequentially.

Do the opposite of my next wish. -> Fulfilled, he is set to do the opposite next.

Don’t fulfill my 3rd wish. -> Fulfilled, the wish does effectively nothing and he’s got one left that will be fulfilled. All instructions from the first wish are done with and discarded.

Ignore my first wish. -> Fulfilled, there is nothing left to be ignored about his first wish anymore since it’s already done. The wish does nothing and he successfully wasted all 3 by trying to be a smart ass.

To be fair, Part 1 Dio had the same amount of tits.

Regarding the original panel: Powerscaling is so dumb. Fine, your imaginary character is stronger than mine. Now, what?

A soft drink is any water-based flavored drink [Wikipedia]

Water isn’t flavored and soup isn’t a drink.

You know, Custom Robo is awesome. I’ll gladly sit down, play it and lament the fact there wasn’t a new once since the DS game. That’s way better than watching some random stuff on Netflix.

I didn’t play any Zelda title on the GBA, but those could work due to their puzzle focus. However, even fully combat oriented games couldn’t really do much more than Zelda did in terms of their combat system, which ended up being quite dull.

I kind of liked the Legacy of Goku series, just because I like Dragon Ball and because level ups made a huge difference. The battle system wasn’t anything special, but it was satisfying to just grind a bit and afterwards demolishing anything in your path - just repeat this in any given new area.

Glad to finally see something without a soft drink included - I like the soup much more.

What are those fried bits? They kinda look like small Gnocchi or something similar.

I was fully on board with it until I looked at the screenshots. Don’t get me wrong, it is gorgeous. But it’s an action RPG, something the GBA usually didn’t succeed in. I was hoping for something turn based.

Man, I’m tired of that AI slob. Just look at that ear. Like, it’s cool we could develop that stuff, but now it just drowns out actual art.

Given this data, I think I can reasonably predict that lyrics of pop songs in about 20 or 30 years will mostly consist of cursing. Maybe even sooner given my personal impression of pop songs repeating their lines more often each decade.

‘1 - 1,000,000 - 900 - 7 & 80 - 1,000 - 600 - 4 & 50’

Large numbers are alway broken up into blocks of 3, pronounced like the initial numbers from 0 to 999 + the name of the long scale number (thousand, million, etc.).

Short scale, in english goes like this this: Thousand (3 zeros), Million (6), Billion (9), Trillion (12)…

Long scale, as used in german, goes like this: Tausend (3), Millionen (6), Milliarden (9), Billionen (12), Billiarden (15), Trillionen (18)…

Long scale kind of makes more sense since starting with Million the names just count upwards. Million, Bi-llion (2), Tri-llion (3), etc. But since you still start with Thousand in short scale, Billion is the 3rd, Trillion the 4th and so on. If you want to figure out Octodeci-llion (18), the formula to get the amount of zeroes in short scale is ‘18 * 3 +3’ and in long scale ‘18 * 6’. Also keeps the names pronouncable for longer than short scale. However, it does make translating the names of large numbers between both languages a nightmare.

To each their own, I guess. I am not married with kids and neither do I want either of those. Luckily my girlfriend thinks the same.

Yes, I had to learn that too. It’s weirder for sure, but not in the context of this specific graph since ‘4 - 20 - [0-19]’ (80-99) still forms a neat cluster based on the first few letters.

German numbers are weird because we kinda switch the last two digits.

43 in most languages becomes ‘40 - 3’, but in german you say ‘3 & 40’.

But we do not pronounce the whole number backwards.

143 in most languages becomes ‘100 - 40 - 3’, in german you say ‘100 - 3 & 40’.

Yep, I have a lot of AUR packages installed. Never had any problems besides needing to remove a package once to resolve some dependency issues.
