hmm

just occurred to me that nintendo beat apple to the punch with the "portable device that really should have a headphone jack but doesn't", with the gba sp

unlike apple, of course, nintendo realized the mistake in future portable devices

"I thought you said that this was unbreakable!"
"It is. Want me to unbreak it for you?"

(if you add Games That Badly Need A Better Localization to the list it gets a lot longer, but I know that Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII would definitely be on it)

so, now that Trials of Mana / Seiken Densetsu 3 has been officially translated, I'm curious what the list of Games That Should Have Been Localized But Weren't looks like

I know of two entries on it:
- Mother 3
- Terranigma*

Terranigma gets an * because it did get an english release, just not a north american one for some reason

@maidofclay@snouts.online for no particular reason I just want to say I really appreciate how your icon shows your head just hovering over your shoulders without a neck. -w-w- it's very my thing

fun fact: english is such a weird language that, though the (now mostly obsolete) feminine form of most occupational nouns is formed by adding -ess to the end, the feminine form of the extremely common profession baker is not bakeress or bakress... it's baxter

because of course it is

it's common among linguistic hobbyists to confuse phonotactics and phonostrategy; in this essay, I will attempt to elucidate

i have no idea what's going on in a number of different things right now and it's stressful because any of them could turn out to resolve in a way that basically ruins our life and that's probably an exaggeration but emotions are really high right now and i don't know what to do and i don't know how to even adequately express the problem or why i'm even trying to express the problem because no one here can help either and for some reason it just feels wrong to end this sentence but it hsa to end somewhere so here

i'm just really stressed and i don't know what's happening and i'm worried about losing friends or places i feel safe over this and i don't know what to do and what is happening and why

i don't even know who can be trusted because basically everyone we know who would know enough to say anything about it is in the group being targeted and also one of the people involved in the harassment is apparently someone whose actions previously (presumably accidentally) resulted in two of our closest friends having a falling out and not being friends with each other anymore and that's a wound that still hurts and

i feel like things are happening and they are not good things and i can't do anything to affect them in any way

um, do i want to know what's going on

apparently some (rather innocent) messages I posted in a discord server are in a screenshot someone posted on twitter for??? some reason???? and people are talking about harassment and things going bad and

i'm worried

good morning, happy lastdayofaugust

british people saying "revise" to mean what americans say "study" for will never fail to throw us off

I kind of feel like... I'm one of those people who'd be very easy to manipulate and take advantage of. I'm very trusting and I don't think I _want_ that to change; I want to be able to trust people

very overwhelmed right now and the apartment people decided now would be a good time to mow the grass right outside our apartment

so uh

apparently it's not just us who have no idea what's going on in regards to research work

apparently no one else does either

the person providing the funding said to talk to someone else, the someone else has no idea what the thing even is and definitely has not signed the requisite paperwork to take over the project, the person who _was_ in charge of the project has left the university and is not responding to emails

what the fuck are we supposed to be doing

*hands you a cup full of melted plastic that used to be a DVD* it's a molten-media experience!

one of the strangest things to me about NT/allistic people and one of the most annoying things when interacting with them is that it seems like they always expect there to be some kind of ulterior motive in a conversation, like I have some reason to ask "what is that thing you just mentioned?" other than wanting to know what that thing they just mentioned was

I don't, I just want to know what the thing they just mentioned was. I'm not trying to say you're wrong or express doubt or anything, I just want to know what the hell you're talking about
