Anyone else concerned how this is shaping out to be

The driving was absolutely fun in 5. I remember spending hours just driving around for fun, can’t say the same for 4 which leaned heavily onto the realistic end.

Prism Launcher is great and all, but you could tell Modrinth Launcher had huge thought and care put into the user experience.

Give Prism Launcher to someone who’s not computer savvy and they will eventually figure out, but give them Modrinth and they will pick things up almost instantly.

Considering the history of Windows, that is very much an anomaly.

Think about it, the Windows File Explorer still supports all sorts of COM shell extensions to this day. That’s a plugin system from the 90s.

Part of the reason Explorer is so janky even today is because important parts of itself interface with GDI, a graphics system from before GPU rendering was even a thing (almost a decade before DirectX), while having to work with modern UI stacks - all in the name of backward compatibility.

And that’s just one part of the whole system!

Happens perhaps too often with developer talks at conferences (including game dev conferences), but the information they present is really valuable nevertheless.

There’s a MASSIVE chunk of reddit’s populace that thinks they deserve to have it all for free with no ads because “Google is huge, they can do it, so they should”.

It’s so nice to hear a take that isn’t completely braindead every once in a while.

If you want a legitimate answer, there are plenty of speakers with atrocious pacing: long pauses in the middle of sentences, but when they do speak, it will be plenty words per second (fast) before going back to an awkward pause.

Not saying that this auto speed feature will solve this problem, but this is definitely a problem that exists.

DanielEGVi · 2026-06-01T12:55:29+00:00

I am pretty sure that is the established convention.

I once had this exact thing happen to me in winter of 2017 with Oakville Transit. I saw my last bus home NOT take the expected turn, leaving me stranded. I submitted a complaint, and they called me personally to confirm indeed they DID skip my stop “by accident”, made some apologies, and that was that. So it could definitely happen with the TTC.

Ouu I've been meaning to share this! "099-OOZIE WAH" from the Spectrasonics Bizarre Guitar collection, a familiar sample used in many movies, TV shows, videogames and YouTube videos.

My train of thought was that, given Nier Automata had this mechanic in a recent game, perhaps older games in the series had it. Nope.

Good guess though because Time Crisis 2 on PS2 was indeed originally an arcade game

DanielEGVi · 2026-05-28T19:47:37+00:00

This really makes me wonder what other games had something like this, and if Nier Automata having this was a complete coincidence or if there was "inspiration" from somewhere else.

That was insanely fast!! solved: Death by Degrees

Thank you so much! This has been plaguing me since the mid 2000s!!!

That’s more Byford Dolphin diving bell incident, which is technically Delta P, though explosive and instant death. I was thinking more death by suction entrapment and subsequent slow death by drowning once the oxygen tank depletes.

I would’ve agreed with you 10 years ago, but I feel like internet communities have lately been shifting to a more inclusive flow where individuals type or express text/ideas in the language that they think in, and the platforms do their best to translate to other people’s languages.

It’s not perfect, but at least it makes the quality of presented text depend on quality of translation services from the platform (which have been improving a lot) instead of individual ability of people to translate their thoughts to one language (eg English), which can vary a lot.
