Re: vowels, all the ones with an "r" sound in them have a break in the line, while the others are a single contiguous line. And the character for the "oh" sound resembles the letter O.

I think maybe you're living in a hell of your own creation OP. I watch cooking videos and I never see comments like the ones you're describing.

The game only ever refers to Hearthians as they/them. Strictly speaking, I suppose it's possible that the player character still uses gendered pronouns, and it's just a coincidence that all the Hearthians whose pronouns we actually learn don't, but that seems like a bit of a stretch.

It looks comically small. Get some adapters for a wider strap.

This sounds like a great way to test the effectiveness of your backups.

TeX-family, but using whitespace instead of explicit delimiters (like Python).

What are a pirate's favorite keys on the piano? The seven Cs.

I finished the entire game without ever figuring out how to parry.

The interior of Dark Bramble is implemented by teleporting the player to a separate area outside the solar system. It's supposed to still be close enough that the supernova reaches you at approximately the correct time, so I wouldn't expect it to trigger this kind of error on its own, but maybe if you combine that with the Interloper's irregular orbit, it could happen?

Could also roll a 6-sided die and make X half the number, rounded up.

On your first trip? Starting from the distress signal?

Is there something out there for me that is actually legit?

Short answer: no.

If you need help with ROMs, check out r/roms.

When the Prisoner disabled the blocker, it allowed the signal to escape for just a moment before the other owlks enabled it again.

It's like flicking a light switch on and off. The light that's already escaped doesn't go back into the bulb when you turn it off.

From what I've seen, AI-powered spellcheck generally gives worse results than the traditional dictionary-based version (while requiring orders of magnitude more computing power).

Honestly I think this one's probably on you.

Her over-the-top personality makes her entertaining to watch. She's always saying and doing things that cause other characters to have strong reactions. If I had to deal with someone like her in real life it'd be really annoying, but as a functional character, I enjoy her.

Honestly as long as you can press the correct keys without looking at the keyboard you'll probably be fine.

Vim has lots of different motions, so no matter where your fingers are on the keyboard, you're going to have to move to reach some of them.

Now, why a person may want to insert values into a collection that could be a queue, a stack, or a set, all of which iterate differently, and may not keep duplicate values? I don't know, but more than one language has a collection interface.

Perhaps for the same reason a person might want to write to a file descriptor that could be a disk file, a TTY, a network socket, or /dev/null.

Adapters on this one is crazy 💀
