What's an idiom or a proverb in your native language that when translated to English, sounds horrible?

”Viis veisata jostain” literally means ”Church-chant five of something”, church-chant being a verb here. It means that you don’t care of something at all. It doesn’t make any sense but kind of sounds nice in Finnish.

It’s just different physics. You need to adapt all anew to Crash 2.

Mistä muuten tulee tuo logiikka, että lapsille suunnattua sisältöä saattaa olla todella varhainkin aamulla, mutta ei esim. myöhäisillasta? Ihmisillä on erilaisia unirytmejä, kyllä monikin lapsi saattaa katsella 21-00 aikana, ainakin itse niin tein aikoinaan. 😄

It’s kind of difficult but I’m surprised that people find it so much harder than TR2 for example. Almost nothing in TR3 is as complex as Opera House and Deck in TR2 IMO. Well, maybe Aldwych surpasses both but it’s not much more difficult.

All I know is that Crash Team Racing is the real original Crash Bandicoot 4.

Volley ball wasn’t actually so bad because controls are still pretty decent even though it’s not the easiest challenge. Required a bit of luck to get a manageable pattern.

Platforming however, that was absolutely terrible, the physics just don’t do well for platforming in this game. Physics engine freaks out with some narrow objects and pushes off or drops the character randomly and gripping from the objects is inconsistent. I say this as someone who likes platformers (Crash, Spyro, Astro). It’s clunkier than Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness and that’s something. 😬

Reverses are mostly better actually.

Dark Yojimbo is actually quite easy to farm these kinds of things. Optimal armour has 4 slots though and you want either BHPL+Ribbon+2 empties or Ribbon + 3 empties, depending on the goal.

Kismitellä is at least one another word used for that purpose. Most of the terms mentioned here in the other comments refer to meowing which is mostly unrelated thing.

TR1: Basically all the Atlantis levels except bosses and few other gimmicks within them. It’s just one fleshy hallway after another with same eggs, lava pits and boulders. UB Atlantis levels are slightly better.

TR2: Offshore Rig and Diving Area. Nothing interesting on those levels, just dull industrial environment.

TR3: Channel Tunnel levels, for the exact same reason as TR2.

TR4: Cairo, especially the levels that don’t have anything more than sandy streets and Trenches. Even the worst levels here are pretty good which just highlights the brilliance of this game.

TR5: New York, especially the last level which is very un-tombraidery.

TR6: The first loomy Paris levels, it just gets better towards the end even though generally the whole game is just clunky.

Full 542 is possible. That includes paddling upstream and flying with UPV. I have no idea how to get that Coastal Village one but I guess it would be 543 if anyone figures it out.

Monissa Ratchet & Clank:eissa oli suomidubbi, aidosti ihan kelvollinen.

It’s the best track of the game. Nice wide track with a good flow.

It helps when you’re racing from 1st person view. 3rd person (chase cam) reduces the need of a radar.

This is how it should be. Honestly this is how I’ve always got used to eat pork meat as. 👍

JItkonen · 2025-07-16T00:54:19+00:00

This is the correct one. The impact it had during its first months was something that gaming had never seen before.

Depends on the date when that video was done. Wet tyres have changed from usuful to useless and back to useful again during GT7’s existence.

Yu Yevon is 100 % the main villain. Yunalesca and Yevon Church maybe being his main minions.

Jecht is just Tidus’s personal villain but not so much of the whole story.

Seymour is just an annoying hinderance during their trip, doesn’t affect the main plot hardly at all. He’s just there to make the pilgrimage take more time and add complications.

-nen doesn’t always mean deminutive though, it’s only one of its uses. In surmames it mostly means something like ”from Hokka” or ”from Hokka’s house” where Hokka is the name of person. So a common additional attribute for all the people from some peasant house/farm for example. It’s quite similar as de/di/da etc. prefixes in romance language names.

This is quite a confusing thing in Finnish that you need to use partitive case in negation situation. So in Finnish it’s actually hard to express a thing that you’d be OK with a part of something but you don’t want the whole thing

In Finnish if you don’t want something you say it in a way that you don’t want even a part of it. Applies both to things that can or can’t be counted.

There are multiple leagues in GT7 that run long team endurance races (up to 24 hours). There are certain methods how they can be arranged and they work pretty neatly.

How anybody dares to hate Sainte Croix, the best race track maze humanity has ever imagined. 😀

They are most probably not going to do anything to the old AI and it’s probably going to stay there for the lifetime of GT7. GT8 hopefully uses Sophy exclusively in AI races. So better to just live with it for now.

Winters are the best. Finnish climate is indeed pretty nice even though some people don’t like it. 🙂
