i just saw the phrase "Earth, where most human power usage takes place" and something about it is just amusing

can a grocer be said to groce?

so uh. we often pick our starter based on how we like the looks of their later evolutions; what do the evolved starters look like in gen 8?

don't want to google it because we might get spoiled on other stuff inadvertently

copper is such a nice metal

The plot of Suikoden 2 revolves around two True Runes, the Black Sword and Bright Shield runes. The protagonist Riou possesses the Bright Shield rune, and the deuteragonist Jowy has the Black Sword rune.

It's kind of just a reference more than a joke, I guess

pokemon black sword and bright shield

hey @monorail, I know you're into SCP stuff and I think you might want to know about the stuff in this thread: https://cybre.space/@diodelass/103143657947482930

i hope it isn't awkward to point you to it this way :x

stoats: good

It feels like a bit of a waste having all these separate power supplies for all these separate devices sometimes

like in our tv cabinet there is currently plugged in: a ps2, a ps3, a wii u, a wii u gamepad charger, a wii, an snes, an xbox 360, a nintendo switch, and a tv

it feels like there ought to be a way to have a single power supply, a single point of AC-DC conversion, that goes to all of these

at least the snes and playstations have internal psus and don't need an external brick

so uh. there's ACE in OoT now.

today is the last day when you can truthfully say that every pokemon generation, or a remake thereof, can be played on a 3ds

Here's an interesting question for the fediverse: Tell me your favorite utterly unimportant, irrelevant-to-the-plot character from any book, movie, video game, or other media

*flops* ugh

just, extremely stressed from Having To Deal With Things right now

aaaaaaagh tech support is frustrating and apparently MSI is a bad brand for laptops, we got an MSI one because we knew MSI was really good at desktop stuff

anyway we got that laptop that broke a month after we got it back from the RMA and it still doesn't work, it turns on but it runs extremely hot

(correct me if I am wrong, I'm reasonably certain [d] doesn't exist in mandarin except maybe as an allophone of [t] but we do not speak mandarin)

(the English distinction is between [tʰ] and [d] where the Mandarin one is between [tʰ] and [t], which is why the word Tao is sometimes (and probably more accurately, in terms of how English-speakers read it being understood by Mandarin-speakers) spelled Dao, among other differences)

(this holds for the other plosives too)

Hmm. we listened to some examples of Japanese pitch accent and... it sounds identical to the English accent? Is there something we're missing? Or is this a case of two features that go together, except one of them is contrastive in language A and the *other* one is in language B (like voicing vs aspiration with English and Mandarin)
