A word I coined the other day: Foxoidal, meaning vaguely fox-shaped but also clearly not a vulpine.

Coined in reference to Noishe, Lloyd's "dog" from Tales of Symphonia.

random video game detail i appreciate:

xenoblade chronicles, because it was originally not going to be released in north america, but was released in europe, has the english dub done by British voice actors, and this aspect stuck out to US players when they played it

because of this, when they made Xenoblade Chronicles 2, they kept that up, and even added regional accents; Welsh accents in gormott, Scottish in mor ardain, even Australian in Uraya iwrc

As a follow-up to the best jrpg series poll, i'm curious which ones of these people have actually played at least one game out of (not necessarily all the way through, but more than just trying it out for a few minutes):

can someone fix politics please so that it actually works and doesn't cause constant panic attacks

what's the origin of the term "clip" meaning to pass through something in a video game?

What's the fediverse think?

"lubricant" sounds like the name of a person

@connie but damn Wild Arms 5 is expensive, never really looked at it before today but copies go for between $75 and $150

@connie Thank you for pointing us to A Muzzle Dancing in Hatred, that is some very good music! we haven't played wild arms past 3 yet so hadn't heard that one

why exactly does the UL Recognised Component mark look the way it does? it looks backwards

though i don't know if sd card controllers do fancy stuff like wear leveling

because a PCIe card reader + fast large SD card might be better performance than a similarly-priced SSD

i wonder how those compare speed-wise to cheap SSDs

storage density is kind of ridiculous these days

you can get half-terabyte micro-sd cards

matrix algebra!
