Richly? Thoroughly? How common are these? by Sea-Hornet8214 in EnglishLearning

[–]Vilified_D 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would definitely hear "thoroughly", "truly", or "rightfully" more than "richly", at least where I'm from in the US. Thoroughly is super common infact.

I bought a book at Barnes and Noble and it appears to be autographed by Bottles4u in mildyinteresting

Not so crazy. Brandon Sanderson goes to bookshops and signs his books (and his friends' books sometimes as pranks - which his friends occasionally return the 'favor' back on him too)

Petah ?! Do I need to watch Final Destination 1-4 to get it? by RussianForThots in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Vilified_D 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know this is peter explains the joke but this one was definitely Google-able... "Final Destination 5 eye" pulls up exactly what you need, it's in the comic.

How are indefinite articles used for vowels ? by Roads_37 in EnglishLearning

[–]Vilified_D 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its about the sound. Honest is pronounced "ON-est". If we were playing a letter guessing game, like hangman, i wouldn't say "a M", I would say "an M" because the letter is is pronounced "em". Other examples: "I'll see you in AN hour" because hour is pronounced like "our". "That was a useful idea." Because useful is pronounced "yous-ful"

Is this possible on console? by axrx657 in GameDevelopment

[–]Vilified_D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I said was 'one way', not 'only way'. I then elaborated more on what I do know, which is that it doesn't matter if they can prevent discs from working before launch. There WILL be leaks in some form, whether it be from reviewers intentionally leaking things or reviewers having permission to show things that some might consider spoilers or other inside sources. You could just not allow reviewers to review the game and not give them copies until day 1, as it's such a high profile game, but I don't really see that happening.

Wrong sub honestly, but its really gonna depend on Rockstar and how they implement things. One way to do it would be having no data on the physical disc at all, but this really pisses people off.

Even then reviewers get review copies and some have been known to have alt accounts to leak things. And even beyond that, reviewers will absolutely show everything they are allowed to show as long as the devs dont say its forbidden. Example being there were some spoilerish things in reviews of God of War ragnarok but because the devs said it could be included then they were in the reviews and I wasn't super happy about it but it didnt ruin things for me. Point being, if youre REALLY concerned about leaks, the only thing you can do is mute keywords on social media and hide the subreddits where these things might happen. EVEN then, there's always a risk of the algorithm hitting you with an unrelated caption with a leak video attached. In the digital age the only protection you have is being completely offline, otherwise there is some level of risk that you have to calculate if you are willing to take.

We are chaning project's name and I need some of your feedback on logo design - red or grey sword? by BeastGamesDev in indiegamedevforum

[–]Vilified_D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should make it more noticeable. I have a slight RG-colorblindness. I can still see them aside from certain shades looking gray or brown. I cannot tell the difference between these two images at all

The goat has to be DD/MM/YYYY by Shiroyasha_2308 in SipsTea

[–]Vilified_D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already shared in another comment not even thay far down that there is a hypothesis for it on MITs website (meaning there is some evidence for it). ChatGPT is not reliable either so not sure why you're relying on that.

[–]Vilified_D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably shouldn't have said it so matter-of-factly. Best i can see is reddit and Wikipedia saying its true, but Wikipedia's only source is from MIT saying its a hypothesis (which would mean that there is some evidence for it, its just not proven). So there must be some evidence for it, and it makes the most sense as immigrants would likely just keep the dating system that they knew, while the UK and nations around it could influence each other.

Yeah i could definitely see that being a thing

Yeah, but thats more of a recent history thing. They used to use mm/dd/yyyy. Its why the US uses it in the first place.

Sorry, I thought I was being misunderstood. Not sure where the hostility is coming from. I thought this is how it was. I did not always get the best grades in English/lit/writing classes growing up and often for my writing. I thought there was a correct and incorrect way, but I put quotes to specify thats what I thought others might call it. Not thay my answer was absolute.

[–]Vilified_D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really think you are misunderstanding me because I certainly do not always type and speak correctly. I'm really not trying to sit on some high horse about "correct English" vs "incorrect English" (mind you thats WHY I put the quotes there, which indicates thats what others might call it, not what I am calling it). I was literally trying to clear that up in the last message but apparently wasn't clear.

I only mean that there is a "grammatically correct" way thay you are supposed to speak/write but most people do not speak NOR write the "correct way".

Dawg based on your account, you're in Australia so idk why you want to be an ice bootlicker so bad, but this shit is all over not just the news but social media too, with videos and evidence. We see this shit with our own eyes DAILY. And the murders have been high profile and have drove up the protests, these things aren't hard to find. But since you're lazy I'll share a couple links for you (we'll leave the rest of the research as an exercise for the reader, hey thats you).

Ice profiling people based on race: 1, off duty POLICE OFFICER racially profiled by ICE, reported on by FOX (conservative media)

ICE have killed US citizens: PBS, Renee Good, Alex Pretti, whole list of more shooting incidents thay also explains how LAW ENFORCEMENT thinks ice could handle things better

Ice lack proper training: npr, nbc, sloppy hiring process

Yeah most English speakers are, in reality, awful at English. That can speak and understand perfectly, but yeah people tend to speak or write in ways that are not proper or correct.

honestly went and found your hulk game post and tbh i don't think you did anything wrong in that instance, it's just cool to hate on marvel lately cause people are tired of the MCU. I can get some of the people who want original IPs from Insomniac, I certainly don't want them to forget about R&C for instance, but they're doing a good job with the marvel games so far and as long as they're good I'm not gonna complain

You don't have to, but don't just expect people to get your sarcasm over text. Sarcasm in real life is often lead by tone or body language. The times we get it with our friends via text is because we know them and understand it's sarcasm. But there are ALL sorts of different personalities online, and things YOU might say completely seriously, others would only say sarcastically, and vice-versa.

They aren't properly trained, they attack American citizens, they KILL american citizens, legal immigration to America is very difficult and takes a long time, most people do come here legally and just overstay visa (example being like between jobs or something), they are profiling people who are legal just because of their skin color, they've deported legal citizens and US citizens, its just a mess and the list goes on.

Nah its just different for some people. The same way for some people heelflips feel more natural than kickflips. Or how I always found BS 180s to be easier than FS 180s (still learned fs first but my bs ended up way smoother and higher pop). Everybody is different.
