I don’t know what rock you’ve been living under where you think base Firefox wasn’t ever improved

I don’t know what “Figma” is but it sounds stupid.

That’s kind of the trend for post-apocalyptic media. Nerdy adults trend towards the cynical, while hope and progress is “kids’ and family stuff”

…Bethesda is a terrible developer and producer with a few good games under its belt that make people really dedicated to it— and I don’t super blame those people. It would be like if half of Zelda games were buggy and unfun and amateur and kinda-ugly trash— and so were most of their other first-party was too— but those three or four great Zeldas and two or three good Marios made people huge fans of the company. Or it would be like, you know, CD Projekt Red making one— maybe two— games so great that people decided all their other games must be great by default even when they’re not (which, well, yeah).

It’s called “Sparking Zero”. Jesus Christ I wish Japan would get sick of the exact same naming conventions it uses for everything that it ever made in the last 40 years. I know I am.

Oh my god I loved Crystal Quest. I thought everyone forgot about it

I’m pretty amazed that people don’t immediately hear the stereotypical doucheyness, as well as the teenager-pandering, intelligence-insulting, terrible messages the moment they hear Nickelback.

Maybe I don’t hate Nickelback for the same “gut” reasons the internet does, but I sure do hate them.

Why would you gatekeep what’s on a pizza? There’s a whole range of textures and flavors that work, that you’re telling people they can’t experience because you’re a hardcore traditionalist? Let good food be good food.

Holy crap, this is useful. Thanks!

There is also a space after an ellipsis… like this.

Not…like this.

I don’t care if everyone does it wrong, it’s both harder to read (less functional) and it flies against normal punctuation conventions.

Also, don’t get your punctuation inspiration from Japanese games. An ellipsis is three periods, no more. Exclamation mark always goes after question mark. (“?!” = correct) Japan adopted our punctuation marks and did it their way. If you’re writing in English, do it the English-language way.

Same opinion. And I like both!

Thanks, been arguing this for ages.

Fuck yes. Only people who argue otherwise are illogical traditionalists.

I find that all countries do some pretty weird things. Some more than others, Japan.

Discovered it years ago!

Holy shit, another person who calls it that! I found it on accident years ago and I love to use that term.

Writer here. Don’t blindly follow dumb style rules. I write how I speak; and when you write how you speak, you end up using a lot of semicolons and em dashes (if you’re competent). Each “pausing-type” punctuation means something specific, and they are all vital for clarity and natural flow. And informal or spliced sentences are good. Style rules are too formal, and sometimes as antiquated as “‘ain’t aint’ a word”. So instead do what works— what makes things natural and easy to read.

Aspartame gave me terrible headaches. Then I became diabetic. Turns out by that time sucralose was more popular. It doesn’t give me headaches and it tastes fine. After so long of having sucralose, I can now tolerate aspartame. Still gross though.
