oh yeah, everyone over here does that too. there's that story of when mötley crüe played germany, the crowd chanted their name and the band was just like "why are they saying it like that"

just wait until you hear how non-english speaking people say "super mario bros"

There's a Resetera thread about a Mario fangame that derailed immediately into people complaining about the creator saying 'broze' instead of 'brothers', and I sincerely hope we're going to do this every single time from now on until everyone says it right. Zero tolerance approach.

i played cowgirl to a friend a while back and he was unconvinced, until after about five minutes when he went "alright this is actually really good"

You can do anything in a video game. Be anything. The only limit is your imagination.

PAL retro games deserve to be preserved, respected, and re-released

Woah, wait! Hear me out! OK let’s make one thing very clear before I carry on: No, I didn’t bang my head before I sat down and wrote the bizarre title you see at the top of this page. H…

feels like one of the main divides in how people view ai is the reaction to its ingratiating servile tone. when ai is like "ouhhhh i'm so sorry i got that wrong sir, let my try again, you were right my liege" tech guys are like "i like this" instead of "what the fuck is wrong with you"
