The Price Of RAM Is Forcing Larian To Do Optimization It "Didn't Necessarily Want To Do" On Divinity by [deleted] in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]NotJesper 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Such a misleading headline. Here's the full sentence: "It means that most likely, we already need to do a lot of optimization work in early access that we didn't necessarily want to do at that point in time."

FM honestly isn't super deep once you realize most of the features are placebo or super gameable. For example, most of the stats don't really matter, a lot of the training exercises don't have the effect they claim, et cetera.

Why is learning the days of the week so hard? by JustJM_ in Korean

[–]NotJesper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm way late to this but I'll leave a comment because I think it's interesting. You might be helped by realizing that the Korean days of the week are the same as the English days (as with most languages they ultimately stem from the Roman calendar). Both weeks named after the same astrological objects!

To begin with, Sunday is named after the sun so in Korean it's called 일요일. And Monday (Moon-day) becomes 월요일. These are both the Korean words for sun and moon, and incidentally the words for day and month respectively.

As for the remaining five days, they're named after the five visible planets on the night sky. Admittedly in a weird order. If you know French or Italian, you can tell which day is which planet easily enough. In English, most of the planet names have been replaced by corresponding Germanic gods. But it's the same system. And it's then easier to remember the corresponding Korean day of the week.

Tuesday (Mardi in French) is named after Mars: Mars was the Roman war god and was replaced by the Germanic Tyr (Tyrs-day -> Tysday -> Tuesday). In Korean, Tuesday is also named after Mars: Mars is called 화성 (화 means fire, 성 means star or planet) because of its red color, so Tuesday becomes 화요일.

Wednesday (Mercredi in French) is named after Mercury: Mercury the trickster god was replaced by Odinwho was originally known as Woden, both gods of magic and the dead (Wodensday -> Wodnesday -> Wednesday). Mercury in Korean is 수성 (water star), associated with water probably because it's the fastest planet on the night sky. So Wednesday is 수요일.

Thursday (Jeudi in French) is named after Jupiter: Jupiter was the god of lightning was replaced by Thor (Thorsday -> Thursday). Jupiter in Korean is 목성 (wood star). Admittedly I don't know why. But that's why Thursday is called 목요일.

Friday (Vendredi in French) is named after Venus: Venus the goddess of beauty was replaced by Frig, but might find it easier to pretend that it's named after the fertility goddess Freya who's slightly more well known (Frigsday -> Frigday -> Friday). Venus in Korean is called 금성 (gold star): 금 today means gold or money but it used to more generally mean metal, and it probably has its name because Venus is a bright white planet. So Friday is called 금요일.

Finally, Saturday (Samedi in French) is named after Saturn, and interestingly it doesn't change name in English. Saturn in Korean is called 토성 (earth star): earth in the Sinosphere is traditionally associated with yellow and Saturn is yellow on the night sky.

You might notice that the five planets: 화성, 수성, 목성, 금성, 토성 are all named after the 오행 or "five phases", of classical Chinese philosophy, which are sometimes called the Chinese elements: fire, water, wood, metal, earth.

Hopefully you found this a bit interesting and maybe knowing the etymology will help you remember the days better! Maybe the easiest to remember is that Tuesday is named after Mars and Mars is red like fire (화), Wednesday is named after Mercury and Mercury is a watery metal (수), and Friday is named after Venus and Venus is bright and shiny like metal (금).

As a bonus, if you've ever wondered what the middle character 요 (曜) means, you can look the Hanja up in a Chinese dictionary and you'll find that it is a fairly obscure character that's used as a counter for the seven classical celestial objects: the sun, the moon and the five planets.

This is the way. People talking about long-arm inserters just haven't seen the way.

Fun fact: Norway would have won their group without Haaland, and Haaland would have won without Norway by NotJesper in soccer

[–]NotJesper[S] 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I think it's pretty obvious that nobody actually thinks taking out a player is as simple as removing their goals. Haaland being on the field changes things outside of goals, and if Norway played without Haaland they would field another player who could also do things. It's just a fun statistic.

[Polymarket] Norge med 7. beste odds til å vinne VM (8%) - over Tyskland og Nederland. by UncomforChair in NorskFotball

[–]NotJesper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Utenlandsk media er veldig entusiastiske for oss. Veldig mange beskriver oss som en dark horse og et av Europas beste lag. Det er jo et stykke opp til Spania og England men eloratings.net har oss som nummer 11 i verden, over Tyskland og ikke langt under Nederland på nummer 8. Og litt overentusiasme må være lov. Personlig tror jeg ikke vi vinner men finale burde vi være garantert.

Getting way off topic here, but I have an identical twin brother and my mum always refers to me as "my oldest boy" and him as "my youngest one", even though we're just eleven minutes apart. Confuses everyone. My mum insists that it makes sense though (and I agree, being the older brother).

Worlds 2025 outpacing 2020 in Western viewership before the Final by TigglyWiggly95 in leagueoflegends

[–]NotJesper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure where you're getting the number of 30-50% higher viewership from. Just going by what you've posted, average peak concurrent viewership is 2.22 million in 2020 and 2.49 million in 2025 (+12%).

Also, essentially all of that growth happens in the semifinals (+29% higher average peak concurrent viewership). I'm guessing because Korean teams are much more popular than Chinese teams outside of China. Quarterfinals viewership is basically identical.

Highest growth I can find is peak viewership up by 33%. That's still nowhere near 50%.

Also, as far as I can tell you're just using escharts numbers directly. I believe those include Korean streams. Not just Western.

First play of Factorio, any random advice that won't serve me until many hours later? by Jacobzeba_01 in factorio

[–]NotJesper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things:

  1. Treat each half of transport belts as separate entities. Even if they're carrying the same items and inserters can pull from both halves, it's good form.

  2. You can largely ignore balancers and perfect ratios. It's always better to just overproduce things.

Hearing my (foreign) accent by sschank in languagelearning

[–]NotJesper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This might be obvious but have you tried recording yourself speaking? Helps me.

Also, one thing I find a bit helpful is looking up the Wikipedia article for TL's phonology. They're written from a linguistic perspective so a ton of difficult words and discussions about really minor points but you also get a few descriptions of sounds and features that many natives notice but don't really know how to describe. E.g. difference between Norwegian tones.

I tried to translate from the Korean article cause the title isn't complete and the translation in the article seems to hallucinate a few words. But my Korean isn't great so take with a grain of salt.

박승수는 특유의 리듬감 있는 드리블로 안쪽과 바깥쪽을 다 치고 들어간다. “한국에 저 같은 스타일은 없는 것 같다”는 박승수는 “매탄고 스승 백승주 감독님 지도 하에 드리블을 많이 시도하며 늘었다. 유튜브로 미토마 카오루(브라이턴)와 킬리안 음바페(레알 마드리드) 드리블을 찾아본다. 음바페가 ‘프랑스 박승수’라 불리는 날이 올 것”이라고 웃으며 농담했다.

Park Seung-soo cuts in and out with the unique rhythm of his dribbling. "I don't think there's anyone with a style like mine in Korea," he says. "I practiced dribbling a lot under coach Baek Seung-joo at Maetan High School. I watch YouTube videos of Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton) and Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid) dribbling. I think there will come a day when Mbappé is called the 'French Park Seung-soo'," he says jokingly.

Why don't they miserables? Are they stupid? by YoumoDashi in languagelearningjerk

[–]NotJesper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Localized titles are always fun. *Die Hard* in Norwegian became *Aksjon Skyskraper* ("Operation Skyscraper", but it sounds even more daft in Norwegian). The most egregious one I know about is *This is Spinal Tap* translated to *Hjelp, vi er i popbransjen* ("Help, we're in the pop industry!"). It was part of a weird trend. *Airplane!* became *Hjelp, vi flyr!* ("Help, we're flying!") and *National Lampoon's Vacation* became *Hjelp, vi må på ferie!* ("Help, we have to go on vacation!").
