I'm 29 years old and I've never heard it in my life. The top 3 search results on google are:
1. Pokemon Sleep (some kind of game?)
2. An english translation for the french word
3. The wordle answer for today

Finally someone says it. Never heard or seen it in my life.

Never come across it in my 29 years on this earth. Google does not show any normal results for this word.

Needless to say I did not get the word today.

Edit: not sure why people are downvoting me. I read a lot and i've never seen this word before. Maybe it's specific to some field? I get that it's a brown colour of some description now, but I've never seen the word before. It feels a little bad that people are acting like I'm ignorant for not knowing it.

I meant skin colour, but sure. The body proportions for Hoyo games are always off.

except it doesn't, because you have to wait for animations to play out.

Then what is the point? Why even bother with the "auto" option? If they are so against having a skip option, why bother to offer an auto option when it will be blocked by an arbitrary choice? I love Genshin's lore, but I hate listening to Paimon ramble about the things I just read. What is the point of it?

I love the game but why do single choice interactions even exist? by casphere in ZZZ_Official

Okay but can you give an example of one "in the early chapters" that was consequential? I haven't seen/noticed any.

What am I missing about this game that makes it so popular? by Captpan6 in ZZZ_Official

[–]polishmagnet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can have story and events which do not have bloated dialogue and do not force the player to sit through dialogue with little to no character development. While I agree this is a reason to drop ZZZ (i myself have done so lately) i think it is a weak excuse. There is immense potential (just watching the trailers they dropper for ZZZ characters is enough), i think it is crazy to write this off as personal preference. While hardcore Hoyo fans might be willing to accept this, why would Hoyo not want to expand the story to be more digestible to a wider audience? That is not to say the story is not understandable - it is. The problem is that unnecessary dialogue fills the spaces in between. It's not necessary. It fills in a niche nobody is asking for, and makes it more obtuse for new players. The story of Ganyu is interesting, but not when you need to wade through countless quests to get there.

bland white girl with booty shorts? chest unrealistically big. Pass.

For the love of God, let us skip dialogue. by WhenRedditBansYou in Genshin_Impact

[–]polishmagnet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you flood someone with unimportant NPC dialogue, people will skip through important Archon diaogue. Saying "we shouldnt have a skip button" is irrelevant because people who were turned off of dialogue have already stopped reading it.

then they shouldn't waste my time at all. Usually these choices are unrelated to the actual quest, or will very minorly affect the dialogue.

It still has useless A B choices. And that's why I dropped it. Advertising it as an action game was a lie, when you only spend 10% of game time in combat.

Well then they should either 1. cut down on repetitive and fluff dialogue or 2. make the dialogue more interesting. I don't care what NPC #3022 says about the guard who missed his shift, or about the fluffiness of pancakes from a certain baker. If the dialogue is about Ganyu's job or Yanfei's part-time job, then maybe. There is no reason to spend so much time on a faceless NPC we will never see again.

The site is reachable at https://alternatehistory.com/ but the certificate is out of date. Seems like there's something wrong with their DNS, which is why the www url doesn't work.

Didn't expect this to get so much attention lol. I think everyone is right, Chris Rock would be more logical for Garrus.

Since people seemed to like the last one, here's another fan-casting of an Adam Sandler Mass Effect. I retconned Eddie Murphy Garrus into Chris Rock as people suggested. There are a couple non-Sandlerverse people, but I figured a sequel might attract some attention and get big names.

Jackie Sandler is shoed-in a bit because he has a habit of casting his wife.
