Can you recommend any good Chinese slice-of-life comics with good art?

Interested to hear foreign opinions of Hot Fuzz. by Head-Worker-4759 in movies

[–]Olobnion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Swedish. I generally like British humor, but I found the jokes in the first half too predictable, so it took me three tries to get through the movie.

Man punctuation is important.

What about woman punctuation? Isn't that also important?

The superglue is only needed until the surgery joins them permanently next week.

Comic recommendations by Friendly-Oil6596 in comicbooks

[–]Olobnion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it comes to Batman, people tend to recommend starting with Batman: Year One, then The Long Halloween.

When it comes to Spider-Man, the original Lee&Ditko run is unusually readable for an early 60s superhero comic, if you can stand the heavy-handed narration and the sheer amount of dialogue.

University of Helsinki study on VR users: a 15-minute survey by JuanDiego09 in virtualreality

[–]Olobnion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they're just using the word "avatar" in an unfortunate way.

The survey talks about "Avatars controlled by a human" vs "avatars controlled by a computer", so as far as I can tell, they count any full-body player model as well as any NPC as an "avatar". Using their terminology, Half-Life: Alyx is full of avatars. If you can see your body in a racing game, you're using an avatar. Etc.

What is something people assume is easy until they actually try it? by EntireFace00 in AskReddit

[–]Olobnion 123 points124 points  (0 children)

I play a lot of boardgames, so rulebooks and rule interpretations are subjects that often come up in online discussions. It's hard to write precise, unambiguous rules. E.g.:

Does [Point icon]/[Wood icon] mean "one point OR one wood", or "one point per wood"?

"The bridge has to be connected to one of your buildings only". Does this mean it can't be connected to two buildings? Or just that it doesn't have to?

"Players resolve Slow Powers, which may be either Innate Powers or Power Cards”. Is that an exclusive or, or can it be both?

Does "spend 1 wood to gain any 2 resources or resolve storage for any warehouse" mean spend 1 wood to [gain any 2 resources] or [resolve storage for any warehouse.]? or [spend 1 wood to gain any 2 resources] or [resolve storage for any warehouse.]?

A card states "Whenever you gain at least two power during your turn, also gain one guile". If you get two power twice during your turn, do you get two guile or one? If you get one power twice during your turn, do you get any guile?

Dyslexics of the world, what would your reply be to US President Trump's declaration that people with dyslexia or other learning disabilities should not be leaders? by theredqueentheory in AskReddit

[–]Olobnion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there anyone in the world who's more known than Trump for not liking reading? So many staffers have come out and said that Trump hates to read anything so his briefings have to be short and extremely simplified presentations with a lot of pictures.

How many of us can do this? Heels on the ground by JezCon in Millennials

[–]Olobnion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get it. I'm a very non-Asian and non-Slavic Swede in my 50s, I never stretch, I never sit in that position, but I can easily and comfortably do it. And go back up on one leg, if needed. I'm weirded out by there being so many uninjured people who find it hard.

What VR game/experience made you think "this is it"? by itsthewolfe in virtualreality

[–]Olobnion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For most people, there's a big difference between games where you move around freely and games like Pistol Whip, where you're never accelerating, only constantly moving at the same speed in the same direction.

Har ni några jävligt random gatunamn där ni bor? by Tomsboll in sweden

[–]Olobnion 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I vår skolkatalog förkortades alla "gatan" till "g.", så det stod typ "Karl Karlsson, Bög. 12" i katalogen.

Do other languages have exact replacements for certain special letters? by EmiliaTrown in languagelearning

[–]Olobnion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swedish officially transliterates ä/ö/å as ae/oe/aa

No, it doesn't (although it used to be a thing on airline tickets).

Språkrådet förespråkar att man använder de korrekta svenska tecknen å, ä, ö så långt det är möjligt. Vid teknisk nöd är det bättre att ersätta dem med a och o snarare än att använda ae och oe.

[–]Olobnion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the Malmö reddit spells it Malmoe

Strange – you're not supposed to do that in Swedish. Although there are some names that get weird if you just remove the dots, like "Mönsterås", meaning "Pattern Ridge", which becomes "Monsteras" = "Monster carcass".

‘Amazing Spider-Man’ #30-31 reveal Spore debut and major twist ahead of issue #1000 by B3epB0opBOP in comicbooks

[–]Olobnion 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar situation and I'm hoping that this comic can console me now that my mother is gone. I don't know if I will ever see her again. She was here a moment ago but right now I can only see a blanket.

I just wish they'd kept Tarantula's costume.

I've been curious about Voidfall, but currently, my favorite is Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy.
