Yeah, that’s true.

Beside what Citizen Kong said, I wouldn’t start playing a game right after release. Give them a few weeks to iron out the bugs.

Hey guys, is anyone playing tonight?

For me, it will start feeling “right” about 15 minutes after I start studying or working. You need a while to get into it, to get warmed up.

One of the other advantages of LW is that it’s run from the EU and thus has to comply with the GDPR. Given all the shit that Reddit pulled during the exodus, this may have been an additional reason for people to choose LW over one of the North American instances.

There are a lot of Asian female fronted rock bands, like BabyMetal, Lovebites, Gacharic Spin and Asterism. EDIT: also Hanabie.

A lot of symphonic metal bands are like that. On the top of my head, you could check out Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica and Unleash the Archers.

Melissa Bonny does a lot of collaborations with other bands, just search her name on Youtube.

Yeah, the Runeterra universe is awesome! I played LoR for two years, basically for the lore and the art card. I burnt out on the game, but I still miss those aspects.

The release of Arcane was awesome as well, with all kinds of different media experiences. Looking forward to season two (November 2024 D: ).

My gut says it either has to do with the way shows were filmed, or it's a leftover from theatrical plays.

Yeah, it's literally in the title.

I think it's pretty standard in the EU.

Sorry, didn’t get a notification.

Yeah, it’s basically at high school level, so most of the adult population should be able to understand it without much issue.

Considering busywork, many online texts are unnecessarily long in order to fit as many ads in between as possible. I’ve encountered texts (even about academic subjects) that are practically unreadable if you don’t skim them, because they’re not meant to be read closely.

Everyone knows what it’s like to look up information on the internet nowadays: most of your time is spent on scrolling or clicking past ads and scanning webpages until you’ve found a source that’s actually useful.

I think a lot of people have been trained to skim online texts because they’re designed explicitly to waste your time.

There’s a difference between simplifying a message and writing at a lower reading comprehension level. I think a lot of accidental incomprehension might just be caused by the reader not being very good at reading English.

In my country (and I think the whole EU), government agencies have to write at a B1 level to make sure official publications and letters are accessible to all citizens. I think that’s a good rule of thumb for online conversations as well. (However, writing pleasant prose at B1 level is a whole different beast. Generally, they’re not very good at it.)

Watering can. Hoses use too much water.

There were software tutorials before Youtube, and there will be after.

Personally, I hate having to watch a video to learn something because reading a text is just so much faster.
