Oh, well, I mean, study after study has shown permanent daylight time is terrible for childrens' development, but if it's convenient for you I guess we should lol

Passing reminder that Goro Miyazaki is an architect who never wanted to make movies. He was brought on as an architecture advisor, and the studio kept pushing him to take more and more responsibility because he's his father's son, and his father encouraged it. The movie sucks because he's not a director and he didn't want to make it.

(Side note: I actually rather like Tales from Earthsea, so when I say it sucks I'm referring to general public reception and not my own opinion.)

To be fair though, speaking as a fan of toki pona, it's important to point out that it is far from a list of essential words, it's intentionally not designed to be able to communicate a majority of essential concepts clearly. It's designed to be able to communicate simple, positive concepts easily, but to require thought and ambiguity to communicate negative or complex concepts. It's literally meant to make you have to think more positively.

I like how your pronouns are "equipped". Got you a pocket full of pronouns. DOn't you drop them, or nobody will be allowed to talk about you!

You're joking, right? Pre-2012, it was one of the most visited sites on the internet and in the top 20 gaming sites. They weren't some no-name blog. Then after they hired Totilo, their shitty pop-tabloid reporting became so infamous even Forbes had articles about it, well before gamergate was ever a thing. This all used to be sourced info on the wiki page.

Nah, Kotaku had a shit reputation for years before gamergate got shat into existence. Their reporting was sloppy and often wrong, most of them sucked at the games they were reviewing, they spammed out vapid clickbait articles about nothing to farm ad rev. The only reason people respect them now is because they were positioned opposite gamergate, as if two things can't both suck.

The one that kills me is the PC release of Project Diva. Denuvo usually gets pulled after a year or so, because it's not a one-time purchase for the publisher, they charge a recurring license fee. But for some ungodly reason, SEGA's decided to keep paying to have it in a rhythm game. For two and a half years, you just... sometimes lose inputs or miss a note you should've hit, because Denuvo decided you're gonna stutter just there.
