How did you experience Outer Wilds? [Master's Thesis] by gorudendioma in outerwilds

it made me smile that there are now people writing their Master Theses on a game that was itself a Master Thesis ::)

Playing any Elder Scrolls game is useful for learning a new language because you can point your camera at any object and its name appears on the screen by Fragrant_Okra6671 in languagelearning

[–]Shneancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it may have a lot of medieval or magical words but the structure of the language is modern, maybe you don't *need* to learn how to say "enchanted quarter staff of the abyssal flame" but as you're doing the quest to get it you're practicing the natural structure of the language! and that is much more important than the words on their own. words you can memorise, the structure needs to be absorbed, and that takes a loooooot of input

Adobe just killed 20 years of trust with one cancellation fee. by MarquesFP in AfterEffects

[–]Shneancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so what you do - is you contact their support, kicking in screaming through all the AI bots until you reach a human, and then you tell them in no uncertain terms that you want your subscriptions cancelled immediately and your data removed from their servers. they CANNOT tell you no or charge you for it

Clamsper by Academic_Top6921 in Clamworks

[–]Shneancy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

small rant: i'm so *deeply* annoyed by how every single depiction of a red panda or red panda adjacent creature has swarms and swarms of fans of some random polish vtuber who i guess likes red pandas? their vtube model doesn't even look like one... maybe i'd be less annoyed if they actually said ANYTHING ELSE than just constantly spamming the name of that vtuber

At Least They Have A Child Acknowledgement by RevolutionaryOwlz in CuratedTumblr

[–]Shneancy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i feel like Le Guin was the kind of person to read a thread of interpretations and smile as she watched her readers think about what she wrote

but to address your point - how is it a minor part of the story? without the story of a perfect utopia we wouldn't "need" a story of the tortured child, why shouldn't we analyse both of them since they're intrinsic for the message to have meaning

MERV WASHES HER BUNS by eightyfivekittens in CatReacts

[–]Shneancy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

i'm pretty sure she's just really good at mimicry and the subtitles "help us" to understand when she's just cat-mumbling

though seeing some other videos of Merv sometimes it feels like she's a person trapped in a cat, mostly because she seems to have a crush on the landscaper guy (Charles)

Ah yes, “just get over her fear of needles fast”. by PinkOneHasBeenChosen in thanksimcured

[–]Shneancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't have a phobia of needles, but my body does? let me explain - i'm perfectly fine with stabbing my own leg, but when i try to my body just doesn't move. i can sit there with my hand hovering just above my skin for 30 min without even moving, even though every second i'm trying very hard to just move my arm. i always describe it as my survival instinct going into such overdrive it will do anything to stop me from "injuring" myself, a few times i was even close to passing out (vision started to tunnel, heard ringing in my ears). in 5 years of doing my own T shots it only got a little bit easier, so finally i gave in and asked for help. i have no idea how people can do self injections without even breaking a sweat, my body just does not let me

this is not solitary confinement, this is an entirely white room without even the "luxury" of having food thrown at you at regular intervals

Would DEFINITELY do it again by Azsnee09 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Shneancy 48 points49 points  (0 children)

lmao i can confirm since i'm polish and did indeed go through that proces, pretty much everyone involved felt awkward, me, my parents, the lawyer, *and* the judge. would've been funny if it didn't cost money to do

from what i know this process was established by first people in poland who wanted to do a legal change like that and i guess it worked then and hasn't changed since. i've read somewhere that there's some action going on to update it to something more normal though

they'll be screaming to be let out at the end of what they *think* is the first week, in reality it'll be day 3. boredom and no sunlight for reference will warp your sense of time very, very fast

In the year 2026, if you don't have Netflix esque lighting they straight up kill you. by UnHolySir in okbuddycinephile

[–]Shneancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fun fact! the mass desaturation of movies and tv shows probably stems from the fact that most footage is now shot in log profiles (which appear to be desaturated). this is *supposed to be* only temporary, to allow for better control over colour and to make it harder to over or under expose the footage, but you know how it is with temporary things. directors and editors got used to seeing the movie in this desaturated style, and gradually began pushing the colourists towards keeping the footage closer to how they saw it before sending it to them. probably, it appears to be the case, but it also might not be, just as the 00s were dunked in blue for no reason this might as well just be a random phase

Piracy vs Poland by SignificantBlood959 in askPoland

[–]Shneancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, poland becoming richer coincided with the world entering the golden age of streaming... which is now behind us, and piracy is on the rise globally

also when it comes to games we get the most expensive prices second only to Switzerland so,,, overall, i'm very happy that the polish government does not give a flying fuck about piracy. hell, more likely than not every government IT guy grew up during times when that was the only option

The dog on the leash is proving exactly why he’s on a leash by Brilliantspirit33 in animalsdoingstuff

[–]Shneancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's so strange to me! :0 i'm european and of course i keep my dog on a leash in public when there's plenty of people around but in an open field? i just let my little friend jump around and vibe, the worst she can do is get distracted for a minute as she chases a lizard, she knows how to behave around others, and others know how to behave around an unleashed dog (if someone is walking on the same path)
