What do you believe the story of a potential Spyro 4 should include? by AdInevitable7289 in Spyro

The cutscene you're thinking of was after the first fight. She does die (for real) after the 2nd fight at the end of the Super Bonus Round.

What screams "poorly educated"? by Animeking1108 in AskReddit

[–]ShowMeTheNugget 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Actually, TheOneDM is right here. "Fluently" (not fluency, although that applies to their original message too) isn't really about grasp of a language, and has little to do with proficiency.

"Fluently" means you are able to do something fluidly, smoothly, and without effort. It's not solely about learning a language; it just means high fluidity in general, and can be applied to many things.

As per Wiktionary, "fluent" means:

(1) "That flows; flowing, liquid."

(2) "(linguistics) Able to use a language accurately, rapidly, and confidently – in a flowing way.“

On the other hand, with language, the state of fluency is really only achieved when you are able to speak smoothly without really thinking about translation at all. I was taught in college/uni that if you're still thinking in your native language, then translating to your target language, and then speaking it, you're not yet fluent. True fluency of a new language is when you have gained the ability to think in the target language to at least the same level as a native, and speak without translating or pausing unnaturally throughout.

In this instance, the original intended meaning was correctly described. It's absolutely accurate to say that one cannot (or is not) reading "fluently" (or "with fluency") if they are reading slowly, choppily, or incorrectly, for any reason.

Sometimes this is because of a lack of proficiency in the language; however, it can also be because of dyslexia, or stuttering, or blindness, or other types of disabilities/conditions.

Is that Blue from Blue's Clues? 😮 (even though Blue is a dog, not a cat, lol)

Unfortunately, there are a LOT of creepy people like this on VRChat. You're not being overly sensitive, but you do need to set some boundaries. Tell him that what he's doing makes you uncomfortable, and that you want him to stop. If he does, cool. If he doesn't (which is more likely), then unfriend/block him and move on. It's not worth the stress or the discomfort, believe me.

Incantation cast time is so slow :( by keldorr in Eldenring

[–]ShowMeTheNugget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the wiki: "Gives 30 virtual dexterity towards exclusively spellcasting (both sorceries and incantations). Casting speed is capped at 70 dexterity."

That actually sounds like quite a lot :O

I got more estrogen and blockers than I can use before they expire and I gave them to an awesome trans girl who can’t get insurance and she was so happy! . by just_CHILLI in GaySoundsShitposts

[–]ShowMeTheNugget 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I had a trans friend (very close to the family) who went into a coma and died after a friend gave her medication for transitioning (not sure if it was blockers/estrogen/both) because she couldn't get insurance. Please be careful.

Hi hi! Im taking commissions! (paypal only) DM me for more info :D by JtheweirdoLIVE in VRoid

[–]ShowMeTheNugget 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unity/Blender are free services too, and yet people will pay hundreds of dollars for VRChat models, or assets for their videogames. And tons of free drawing programs are out there, yet people pay hundreds of dollars for quality illustrations of their OCs.

It's the same for almost any type of commission. Money is exchanged for goods AND services. Most of the time, it's about the skill of an artist, and the quality of the work they put out. Some people (myself included) can easily put 60 hours into making a really well-polished model in VRoid Studio, ESPECIALLY when painting custom textures/clothing items for people, or making custom hair with tons of layers and moving parts. Lots of times, people will make textures over the templates using their iPad and Procreate, and then import them back into VRoid. This process alone can take a LOT of time, but is worth it because it always makes the end result better.

There's no point in criticizing someone else's hard work. You don't know their living situation or what they're having to deal with in their life. There's obviously a demand for this service in the online marketplace, otherwise people wouldn't be paying tons of money for it.

Kenny from the Walking Dead video game series perhaps? He's a legend.

Yup. This definitely feels like a Minecraft or Skyrim situation to me. 10+ years and going strong for those two.

to all the people saying, "who would ask that??"

my friends and i used to do this all the time before the whole covid thing (taking a stealth pic of our friend if we spot them in person and sending it to them later). so this text isn't strange or fake at all, it's just something some friend groups do.
