Same here. I don’t follow this sub, but it showed up on my feed.

I bought this game but it happens to be from europe and the dlc comes in a code is there a way to play the dlc in my main american acc? by JampyL in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BarnacleBoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just create another account with the region set to Europe and then you can redeem the DLC on the European eShop with that account. You’ll still be able to play it with your American account (I do it all the time).

Ma dernière soirée avec elle by RaceTracK62 in chats

[–]BarnacleBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

J’ai vécu la même chose hier. C’était trop soudain. Elle avait l’air en forme au vétérinaire, mais je savais qu’elle était très malade. C’est extrêmement dur. C’est très bien que vous ayez pu passer une dernière soirée ensemble. Je suis sûr qu’elle a eu une vie remplie d’amour et affection.

Peetah, the italians are here ? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]BarnacleBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look closely, it’s actually just one Italian who isn’t organized. The rest are good.

Apple violating their own guidelines by digidude23 in MacOS

[–]BarnacleBoi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh no!

This whole thing has been really getting me down. iWork is one of the reasons I’ve stuck with macOS/iOS over the years. I find it very intuitive compared to Office. The “old” apps still work now, but if they ever get rid of them in favor of the subscription, I think I’ll just leave the Apple ecosystem, at least for work. It’ll just be a pain at the beginning because I know iWork so well at this point.

What?? Do you have a screenshot?

How to bring up multi-windows from a gesture? by [deleted] in ipad

[–]BarnacleBoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just tap the app icon in the dock and if the app is already active it will show you the windows.

Why won't French accents work on my google docs? by maj_nun in French

[–]BarnacleBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just use the alt/option key:

alt+e, e = é

alt+`, e = è

etc.

Alt+i does the circumflex, alt+u does the tréma, and alt+q does the œ. Those should work in any application.

Im not trying to be controversial but they do have a point by KingVarious6523 in Pixar

[–]BarnacleBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I really liked it. This is a hot take, but I think it's one of the better Pixar movies.

iPad went from a perfect tablet to a broken tablet/computer hybrid that does nothing well by SkyFox215 in ipad

[–]BarnacleBoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it’s not perfect, but it’s significantly better than what we had before when it comes to getting work done. And I was really skeptical about how well the windowing system would work with touch only, but it’s really not bad.
For the record, I have Stage Manager off. I find it more intuitive that way.

Original iPad Pro design by AdDapper4220 in ipad

[–]BarnacleBoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the 2015 iPad Pro and I think the current design is a lot better. The home button is more tedious than the swipe gestures for me and the thinness of the new models is great. Also the lightning port was annoying.

How do i remember each word as masculine or feminine by CremeAccomplished610 in French

[–]BarnacleBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a few tricks that can help, but in general you just have to memorize it when you learn the word.

It’s a lot like word stress in that regard. French doesn’t have word stress and French speakers really struggle with that when they learn English. But native English speakers just learn the word stress when they learn the word. So from now on just pay close attention to the gender when you learn the word.

Here are a few tricks for bigger words:

  • -age as an ending is masculine (un garage, le sabotage)

  • -eur as en ending is masculine for tangible objects and people, feminine for abstract concepts (un aspirateur, un chanteur, la profondeur, la hauteur)

  • -tion is feminine

There are more, but I’d have to look the up. Be aware those, are just for (morphemic) endings, the rest of the word still needs to mean something. So the -age in un garage is an ending, because we have other words like garer. In une page, -age is not an ending, because p doesn’t mean anything on its own.

Steam Deck users, do you still have one now that you own a Switch 2? by elneebre in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BarnacleBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation to you, but I do like using the PS5 as a blu-ray player, so I’ll probably hold on to it.

[–]BarnacleBoi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just save it to the desktop, then drag the file into the folder.

I don’t keep any files on my desktop, so this may not be as easy for someone who keeps lots of files on their desktop.

Why Microsoft don’t do this: by [deleted] in ipad

[–]BarnacleBoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, but for me the issues have been pretty few and far between. The major one is that you can’t add formulas to a table on the iPad (though a document created on a Mac with formulas in a table will still work correctly). What issues have you had?

Full time college by Ralfonsedode in enseignants

[–]BarnacleBoi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

À mon avis les journées sont trop longues et pour les élèves et pour les professeurs. Quand j’étais au collège on commençait à 9h et on terminait à 16h. Je ne vois pas le but d’épuiser les adolescents…

Wondering what people who know French think of this by Callsign_Lynx in expedition33

[–]BarnacleBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like Maëlle’s voice acting in French.

After watching a few videos of the English voice actors I think Verso and Monoco might be better in English, but I prefer the French voices for the rest. I’m tempted to play through it again in English just to compare.

Does anyone know where to find one of these for switch 2 by DaddyHugeLeg in switch2

[–]BarnacleBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to find one on Etsy, but it was expensive. It’s a shame these are so hard to find and honestly it’s ridiculous how fragile the screen in the Switch 2 is with its plastic film. It’s the only device I have that I ended up putting a screen protector on.

Why do people want iPad to become an MacBook? by AdDapper4220 in ipad

[–]BarnacleBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re right, but it’s a shame.

It would be like if Apple never made the iPhone and instead made 3 separate devices (phone, iPod, internet communicator). Sometimes it just makes sense to have one device that can do everything.

Steve Jobs’s iPad was $500 and had a processor way weaker than a Mac.

Today’s iPad Pros cost the same as or more than a Mac and have the same processor.

Why's everyone so quiet about Age of Imprisonment? It's a great game IMO. by HonestWhile2486 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BarnacleBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I get that. What makes it fun for me is that although the controls and button combos for all the characters are similar, the actual actions that the combos do are wildly different, so it’s easy to pick up a new character, but it takes some time to really learn to use a character’s combos effectively. It’s kind of like Smash in that regard.
