I've been playing Rise and it's pretty good, about to finish but my biggest complaint is the obnoxious amount of stupid collectibles making it feel like a generic Ubisoft game, seriously hope they tone it down for the new one.

It has been a while since I played the games, do the collectibles unlock any abilites or are they just for completion percentage?

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/language-in-the-mind/201702/why-english-is-such-difficult-language-learn


We got no gendered pronouns, we have an alphabet, and we have a fluid sentence structure.

Like, in Chinese if you don't know how to pronounce a word you read, you're just shittered. English you can at least sound it out a bit.

Hell, there's a reason why if a German pilot and a French airport need to communicate they use English. It's just sort of uses a bit of everything so you can get by.

That's not to say it's there isn't a problem with it, but it's better than anything else.


English is one of the most descriptive languages in existence.

Its a dominating force not because its easy to learn or simple to use.

Its also a constantly evolving language, more so than chinese, which resorts to using compound simple words to describe new technologies or tools or ideas.

We also take what we cant make from other languages, something a lot of people complain about for some reason. Something to do with colonialism and appropriation.


I don't see the problem, as long as its not some long hard to pronounce word. if a word already exists for something why not just borrow it instead of wracking our brains to make a new one. I mean lots of languages seem to heavily borrow from other languages. I mean despite sounding nothing alike I found spanish and french had several similarities. if I recall correctly anyways foreign language classes in high school where long ago for me.


French, Spanish and Italian share a lot of similarities.

Oh, they abused copyright law to try to shut down Pewdiepie's channel. Purely because they don't like him.
Firewatch is garbage so it's not like it's hard to boycott them, though.


By "abused copyright law" do you mean "abused the Youtube Copyright system"?


"On September 10, 2017, Sean Vanaman tweeted that he would be issuing a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown against the streamer PewDiePie in response to him using a racist insult while streaming PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.[24] As a result of that move, there was a backlash from the gaming community against a perceived abuse of DMCA and Firewatch was "review-bombed" on Steam.[25] Ars Technica noted that the company previously stated on their website that they gave open permission to stream and monetize videos made while playing the game."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campo_Santo_(company)

Slightly exaggerated to say they tried to shut his channel down. They tried to get videos of him playing their game removed despite having previously given open permission to use the game

this doesnt make any sense. soft flour tortillas? I could see breaking up hard shell ones because itll add some crunch to it, but i dont understand why the recipe would call for soft.

i might be an idiot but it seems weird.

I would imagine the intent is that they break down and thicken it, I've seen other recipes do that.

Why didn't the human inside the vehicle take control?


That is the inherent flaw with having people in self driving cars with the expectation of them taking control in an emergency. If a person isn't paying 100% attention to what is going on, which is pretty likely since they aren't actually driving, by the time they recognize the issue they aren't going to be able to react in time.

As Mead said though, it was going to happen eventually and a lot of the legal questions around liability in these sorts of situations is going to have to be answered.
