@solarmerps the middle syllable's vowel is reduced to the point that it may be completely absent in some cases
-F

@solarmerps Either, interchangeably

@socks etecoon and dachora were me!

@bj The description of the wand as "oar-shaped" has me thinking about a mage with an aesthetic like Gibari from Baten Kaitos, a fisherman whose oars are also their wand/staff
-F

@gardevoir what exactly is "decentraland"? i keep reading it as defunctland
-F

@ziphi Shoebills are Good.

@hi_cial cats always help...

@ziphi The gamecube (and the wii, which is just a gamecube in a different box) has something like 60 MB of graphics RAM, certainly not enough for such a huge and uncompressible texture
-F

@ziphi It's not source code, but yeah afawk it's just a section of RAM converted into a texture

@manifold i want to encourage people to have a baseline level of tech literacy again, i want them to stop walling things off and hiding the more "technical" stuff from users, don't encourage people's ignorance, encourage them to learn
-F

@manifold i don't generally like how much the general perception of people using the internet has changed

like it feels like it went from "anyone can learn this" to "you don't have to learn this" and it lost a lot along the way

the assumption of the average user has gone from "understands at least a bit of what they're doing" to "completely clueless" to "completely clueless, and big companies take advantage of that"

@heatherhorns This game doesn't pull punches!! we couldn't finish it because of that but i do not think that's a bad thing about it -F

@manifold i mean, the primary purposes of gif and png were web-oriented (gif being a format that works well on low-bandwidth connections, and png being "hey what if gif but *not* patent-encumbered, and maybe better in a couple ways too")

@LexYeen @Alistor DSL: Decently Speedy for Loners (not so much for cohabitators)
-F

@manifold it feels too much like all the random social conventions that were just suddenly There and we were expected to Know Them and Follow Them despite never being told about them
-F

@manifold oh that makes more sense

honestly the big thing we don't like about webp is how... quiet its introduction was. it was just suddenly this thing you saw places, there weren't any widespread articles or discussions about it like there were for gif and png back in the day, it was just kinda suddenly There

I don't like things that are just kinda suddenly There without explanation.
-F

@manifold ...wait, how does webp replace webp?
-F

@socks @gardevoir This led me to realize there is probably poke-universe writing out there that talks about kalosian fries
-F

@LexYeen @JulieSqveakaroo Eh, pretty sure a shotgun shell fulla pennies would do some damage
