  • And, it doesn't even need to be wrong. Sometimes very innocent things have a specific meaning or connotation in certain languages. Be it innuendos or euphemisms.

    Using 3/5 in connection with Black people would mean basically nothing in Germany, but would perk up ears in the USA. On the other hand 18 and 88 is not that well known in the USA as anything particular, but in Germany you can't have it easily on your car plate, especially if you're from Hamburg (HH).

    So you could quite correctly translate things, but they still get a different connotation depending on culture and language.

  • I don't like Ai no Idenshi very much. It feels like a bunch of half-baked short stories clustered together without much love. I have seen shows handle this format a lot better.

    The ideas are neat, but I think the execution is lacking.

  • Aside from mysteries Ungirl also has very fun and interesting characters going for it, as well as interesting directing during dialogues. A lot of the anime is characters talking and it's never boring, because of these two factors.

  • Why are the Russians so desperate for Bakhmut? Just to have a win? This feels like very Verdun or Stalingrad. The city itself is fucked up from the war, it's not that much value at that point for either side, other than symoblic victory. The Ukrainians are doing good in not as hard trying to take the city itself and rather use it as a bait to destroy Russian troops.

  • We could see it for years. It's so sad that the Tories get to go through with their plan in plain sight (and keep getting voted in again and again).

    Now, I am from Germany, and I have no right to critisize someone else for not stopping voting conservative, but come on. Under Merkel ours at least pretended to be nice.

  • The health minister, Maria Caulfield MP, said: “If the Liberal Democrats really cared about reducing NHS waiting lists, they wouldn’t have voted against our Minimum Service Levels Act, which will reduce strike disruption for patients.

    Obviously strikes are the reason for this, and not another symptom of the same disease of the Tories slowly breaking the back of the NHS.

  • Does Suella Braverman knows that the US exists? We can see there very, very often how it looks like when police has no accountability. It leads to a fat, corrupt police body and loss in trust into law enforcement and ultimately riots and discord among communities.

  • Of course, they were there, at the glorious beginning of the Second Empire. When order returned. The citizens of the British Isles were too long seduced by "freedom" and "liberty". It's time for a the closed fist of a strong shepherd to guide the sheep to the slaughterhouse.

  • Something I got from Spoony which I really liked:

    "There is nothing there." - "You don't see/perceive anything."

    Even if there isn't something there, keep the players on the edge and guessing how good their skill worked. And it makes it just a little bit less gamey if the character doesn't have some divine insight that there really is nothing there instead of deciding that their skills just show that there is nothing there and be happy with that - or not.

    Of course, extend that to everything. Pull away from the facts of the game and put more ambiguous language in.

  • Yeah, would take ages to recoup the cost. Plus, you might not even recoup the cost as markets may change or Steam gets mismanaged by new management. Strategically Steam and Valve would also offer little advantage to Microsoft for the price.
