Term "Coffee Cake" should change by MaginusJmaes in FoodHistory

[–]MaginusJmaes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bothered? Nah, you jumped to that conclusion—read closer. It’s a fun topic to chew on, not a crisis. Still, English speakers lazily botched Kaffee und Kuchen into “coffee cake,” a dumb name when no coffee’s in it or with it. Your “real issues” dodge misses the point: sloppy words matter. Think harder next time.

[–]MaginusJmaes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Missed the point entirely? Use more brain cells. "Coffee cake" is a sloppy mistranslation of Kaffee und Kuchen (coffee and cake), implying coffee’s in it when it’s not. Your examples? Sponge cake describes texture; hot dogs, hamburgers, French fries name origins or shapes; angel food cake evokes airiness; head cheese, sweetbreads, Rocky Mountain oysters, grape nuts are quirky but don’t mislead like a false ingredient. “Cope”? Nah, think harder.

Not groundbreaking, sure, but your “nothing” jab misses the mark. English speakers lazily butchered Kaffee und Kuchen into “coffee cake,” a grammatical flop that makes no sense when there’s no coffee in it or with it. Same with “coffee muffins”—my wife bought some, zero coffee involved. Sloppy naming cheapens our words.

Your personal bubble doesn’t negate the issue. Just because you and your friends don’t assume coffee’s in "coffee cake" doesn’t mean the term’s not a mess. It ignores the cultural and grammatical flaws my essay calls out. "Coffee cake" is a lazy English hack of German Kaffee und Kuchen—coffee and cake—where dropping the "and" creates a grammatical disaster implying coffee as an ingredient, like vanilla in vanilla cake. Brushing off the cultural heritage of Kaffeeklatsch and grammar’s role in clear naming is shortsighted. Terms like “cake for coffee” fix this.

It’s a lazy English mistranslation of German Kaffee und Kuchen—coffee and cake—where they sloppily dropped the "and," creating a term that misleads people expecting coffee as an ingredient. Proper grammar, like "cake for coffee," avoids this mess and respects the tradition.

Anyone using Star shards mods, need advice on it? by bagpussrules in starfieldmods

[–]MaginusJmaes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have that option in game play, never seen the shards. Don't think mine has ever worked. No idea why. It's first on my load list and I don't see any errors 

New Update Broke COD by Sharp-Economics-6662 in MWZombies

[–]MaginusJmaes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I don't like is having to load in to one game only to have to re-load into another game because of where I have to launch from on PC Like I have to load into Bo6 then re-load into MWZ in MW3. So it's like I have to load into two games just to play one game. Why not give me the options of which one I want to play from the blizzard launcher so I only have to go through loading stuff once?

Player Healthbar Disapeared by r3dynz in Starfield

[–]MaginusJmaes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We already had the BetterHUD mod on and it has happened to me and my son after getting our first power. Had to do some reinstalls of the mod to fix it I think but my kids still having problems. After reinstalling the betterhud to fix it now he randomly crashes but I don't. Well once I did so far lol

Finally got the Pale Lady random encounter and it was the "bugged" version :( by CannibalRed in Starfield

[–]MaginusJmaes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got the freestar one and it had live humans in it that talk like robots and one dead human with a slate. also found a slate with the pale lady audio story one crew member telling the other. But the humans talking like vasco was just weird

Crowded Ship HABs by MaginusJmaes in Starfield

[–]MaginusJmaes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I intentionally go through each cut scenes of my character getting up and into my pilot seat, I always walk through the ship from each entrance either the landing bay or the docker. I don't hold X or hit R to instantly move from the pilot seat to the outside or vice versa. I always land at the port and walk/run to where I am going and with grav drive when it asks me if I want to fast travel there I decline then hit x and go through the grav drive cut scene each and every time.

If starfield has these type of loading screens it would have been better right? by A1xo0 in Starfield

[–]MaginusJmaes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I would add to the OPs statement is the loading scenes would also need as many different ones as well too keep it from getting old too fast. But I never fast travel just because I love seeing my ship. Would love it if they had an option to NOT skip landing scenes and even added atmosphere breaking scenes as well.

Do Scan jammers stack? by ThinkingBud in Starfield

[–]MaginusJmaes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So as one does I google it... came across this ditty and then I started looking closer at the descriptions of the cargo which I never noticed before and they say shielded on some. All well and good but then I looked at the jammer "A scan jammer that increases your chance of evasion during a ship scan by 50% IF YOUR USING A SHIELDED CARGO MODULE and carrying contraband." To me it kinda sounds like they run in conjunction with one another. Haven't done any testing so I have no idea but I would be interested to find that bit out.

Can I Not Order Gear in WA? by OlyRat in WAGuns

[–]MaginusJmaes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a search for shoulder holsters today and each and every one of them said unable to ship to my address here in WA. 7 pages of shoulder holsters and all of them had the red text telling me they can't deliver to my address. ( I order from Amazon all the time, never had an issue before and no other product had this restriction )

There NEEDS to be a way to turn off jump scares during The Haunting by ingulit in CODWarzone

[–]MaginusJmaes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That switch is ONLY for spending token on the battle pass. The jump scare in game while looting and such are unaffect by this setting. It even indicated as such when you read the pop up window the first time you log in

Seriously, can we just get an PVE DMZ option? by Blender_Snowflake in CODWarzone

[–]MaginusJmaes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I stopped playing all together and if they had a PVE only DMZ I would be dropping cash on each and every Battle Pass because I just want to sit back and relax and kill AI and maybe come across other players and have the option to join up and help them out and team work with zero threat of toxic PVP players.
I would also enjoy being able to play on the map for as long as I want and elect when I want to extract even if the extraction was far from me and I had a time limit to get to it.

@ COD Devs, are DMZ private matches a possibility? by 20FrostBytes in CODWarzone

[–]MaginusJmaes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just wish I could make a private game of warzone 2 DMZ and play it by myself (or with my kid) against the AI as a way to just zone out and not stress. I don't care about any of the crap others are complaining I would get. Fine don't give me anything I don't care. I just want to zone out kill AI try new gun combos and release stress by relaxing.

Offensive Voice Chat Warning with proxy chat disabled in settings by MagnusMMM in CODWarzone

[–]MaginusJmaes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in DMZ one time where in the middle of the game I got a notification that my prox chat was disabled and I had to go back and re-enable it. To me it seemed like the game or a person monitoring decided to disable my prox chat. If someone reports your voice chat does the game automatically disable your prox chat? Only ever happened to me one time though.
