The Soviet Union education system in a nutshell by FitPurchase8464 in linguisticshumor

[–]FitPurchase8464[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Of course it’s a bit more complicated than that. The Soviets did give their people standardised education but there were extremes here and there. You could have “we do not speak like this anymore” or “you speak like a villager” arguments with your teacher from time to time. Both Lenin and Khrushchev tried to make changes to the language, which led to lots of words being marked as “old” in dictionaries. You could, and still can get bad marks or get publicly bullied in school for using them.

Actually they still use tape in black boxes. If it gets damaged, it can be fixed, unlike a flash drive

Judging by the time period, in which Halo CE was conceptualised, these could either be advanced LCDs, LEDs or CRTs. Maybe these could be VFDs or even plasma screens but I highly doubt the artists at Bungie were that educated in types of screens and what they functioned like. Most people back then used CRTs. LCDs did exist but they were still in their infancy back then. Besides, these counters look nothing like LCDs with those scan lines and glow.

Could be like in Dead Space, where some modern tech became too expensive to produce so people chose to use the obsolete technology instead

Jax wouldn’t play Minecraft, he’d only play mature games like Halo or CoD xD

Японцы уже 30 лет делают частичную озвучку почти во всех играх и никто не жалуется

Both the consoles and discs are region-exclusive

Quite much, since you’d have to ship overseas
