Somewhat seriously, it is nice to see they changed “Cooking/Reset” to “Start/Cancel” - much more natural language for a kitchen appliance!

This one lasted 15 years, got it before we were married. And it frankly still works. Was just time for an upgrade!

Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.

From my book about #Undertale 's official English-to-Japanese translation

I'd like to expand on this for an article on my site, so if you have any examples of "imprinting" situations in fandoms, please let me know

Some quick examples include FF4, FF6, Trails in the Sky, what else?

AI summary: "The heat level also gets mixed reviews, with customers noting it gets hot quickly but cools down quickly."

I guess it should cool down slowly to emphasize how heat it is

"You say you could 'easily' afford a $1,000 unexpected expense, yet you refuse to purchase the AYN THOR, launching at only $299.99. How do you explain this discrepancy?"

I know that everything our country does is fucked beyond measure, but kneecapping renewable energy projects at EXACTLY the same time AI is demanding more energy than the world has ever seen before is simply hilarious. Sora 3 will run entirely on coal, here we go
