So the concept of different people expressing affection in different ways, and needing it expressed to them in different ways, is a valuable one. But I’m pretty sure there are as many “love languages” as there are people, and attempts to turn them into a discrete list, whether that be five items long or seven, is just…

Some prescriptivist grammarians say that “themself” is wrong, and you should always use “themselves”. But “themself” has been used for centuries, is being used with increasing frequency in regards to non-binary individuals, and feels vastly more natural to my ear.

Any time you reuse a green letter you’re gaining zero extra information. Unless there’s a good chance you’re gonna guess the correct word, that’s a sub-optimal choice.

Yes, it absolutely is, though to some extent it’s an industry wide trend. Respawn just did a similar soft-announcement, probably also to help with recruitment.

The only game I can think of where you’d care about having 240 FPS and you have a chance in hell of hitting it at 4k is CS:GO. But for most people, I think it’s about having the option of 4k, or turn down the resolution and get a super high framerate.

The only game I can think of where you’d care about having 240 FPS and you have a chance in hell of hitting it at 4k…

Most English speakers use Celsius, that doesn’t mean they know absolutely nothing about the Fahrenheit system. 

Lots of people couldn’t tell you immediately what, say 70F feels like, but I’m pretty sure the percentage of English speakers who don’t know that 32F is 0C is very small.

I don’t think there’s any overlap between “People who think Monopoly is a game worth playing” and “People who play Legacy games”.

I’d never judge someone for not having books on display, but I do find that a bookshelf is perhaps the single best conversation piece a room can have (assuming they’ve read most of the books).

So I might not recommend them if you’re trying to sell your house, but to actually live and entertain in, themed rooms are great.

While I agree that writing out Sam was weird and dumb, calling Jonah “just the ship’s cook” feels like a disservice (if technically true).

If you’re an experienced developer, you have better options. And if you’re trying to break in, it’s probably a terrible time. Junior hires are a long term investment, because they take a lot of work to onboard. Studios with a severe immediate labor shortage don’t go for juniors.

I think pretty much the only people who use dental dams are engaging in what would otherwise be extremely high risk sexual activities (orgies and the like). For most people, the risk of STD transmission through oral sex on a woman really isn’t high enough to worry about.

While Squid Game is, at its heart, a criticism of capitalism, the depiction of North Korea in the series is not at all sympathetic.

I suspect the question at this point is just how gigantic of a golden parachute is he going to get.

You know, I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, and assume that killing the titans was just meant as a metaphor for political defeat. I’m way more alarmed by the start of the video where they imply that unarmed migrants seeking a better life are an equivalent threat to the titans.

This is perhaps less true than it once was, especially in high cost of living cities, but it’s a decent-ish line of demarcation between middle class and wealthy (even if “six figures” includes a range from modestly wealthy to extremely wealthy).

50k is junior to mid level artist or designer. 100k is a junior to mid level programmer or lead artist or designer (very rough ballpark, I don’t have a great sense of Montreal’s cost of living).

My mom is a minister, so growing up we’d always get a ton of edible gifts to the family. The least appreciated were the various perishable sweets. Don’t get me wrong, we loved the first plate of cookies of the season, but by the six or seventh it was a choice between being guilty about letting them go stale or guilt…

For what it’s worth, my mother and her siblings (all in their late sixties) have come to love Don’t Starve Together. They like the social aspect, and while it’s by no means an easy game the core gameplay loop is easily accessible to people without prior gaming experience.
