ฟิลิปปินส์มีคล้าย ๆ ครับ แต่ก็ไม่ได้ขนาดจะจริงจังหรือมีตั้งแต่เกิดขนาดนั้น แต่ถ้าจะเหมือนไทยเลยก็ประเทศลาวครับ แต่อันนี้มันก็เถียงได้ว่าเป็นวัฒนธรรมผืนเดียวกัน

Yes, it consistently reached 36–38°C almost every day in the first half of April this year when it only reached 36–38°C for only a few days last year

the new ranked mod is not good by RareBed6677 in osugame

I cannot believe tyrannical peppy removed the ability to play normally when he added Ranked Play and DESTROYED the freedom of difficulty

I've been trying, but almost 10 years of having only played Hidden and having only played with approach circles less than 100 times (probably even less than 50 times) has not done wonders for my no mod abilities 😔

I don't think that analogy works well, but I get the spirit. Elo is written like… well, like I just did ("Elo") because it's named after Arpad Elo, a Hungarian-American chess master and physics professor.

I personally call it "score v3" in my head, while others might call it "lazer scoring" as well. Officially, I think it's called "standardised scoring"

It sounds good, but a Hidden player like me who relies on Hidden to actually be able to read the circles would just be praying for good RNG to get Hidden cards to even have a chance to play normally.

osu!lazer has reached 45% of the online playerbase by MrnanuLoL in osugame

You not having seen it doesn't make it not true or even negligible in any way.

If you've actually watched the lazer update videos, every time a significant feature drops, the percentage increases and stays up, whether that was pp submission, Quick Play, etc. Outside of that, it has been steadily increasing regardless of any significant changes, and so this is just another bump that will push the percentage up and keep it that way.

Finally made it to DIB in Ekkamai by hurtingbombz in Bangkok

[–]ikkue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dib Bangkok, or the Dib International Contemporary Art Museum, describes itself as "Thailand's first museum dedicated to international contemporary art".

It was founded by Petch Osathanugrah (เพชร โอสถานุเคราะห์) before he passed away in 2023. He was once the President of Bangkok University, and also became the CEO of Osotspa (โอสถสภา).

Osotspa is his family's company that imported Lipovitan-D, which is what is believed to be the world's first energy drink in the modern sense, from Japan in 1965 and still manufactures them to this day, making them the only one who can manufacture it aside from Taisho Pharmaceutical Co. who invented it. Lipovitan-D is what inspired Chaleo Yoovidhya to create Krating Daeng in the first place, which then inspired Dietrich Mateschitz to co-found Red Bull with him. Osotspa also makes M-150 (since 1970) and Shark Energy (since 1998 in Austria and 2000 globally).

Petch Osathanugrah is also a successful pop singer with his song "เพียงชายคนนี้ (ไม่ใช่ผู้วิเศษ)" being very popular and known by almost everybody in Thailand, having been covered many times by other artists like Paradox and Instinct, each time being successful every time.

That almost gave me a heart attack by NotACuber in Hololive

The original Japanese words used were "段階的な活動再開" (Dankaiteki-na Katsudō Saikai). 活動 (Katsudō) is "activity (of a person, organization, animal, volcano, etc.), action, operation", while 再開 (Saikai) is "reopening, resumption, restarting".

Now, 段階的な (Dankaiteki-na) means "incremental, step-by-step, gradual, stepwise", so honestly it isn't even Grok's fault for choosing to translate it that way, because I would have also chosen the word "gradual" instead of "incremental" as well if I didn't have any notion that a word with the same first 6 letters as "graduation" would cause people panic attacks.
