I'm kind of confused why they keep remaking the same DBZ story over and over again

Did you know Quake was originally going to be an RPG

Hey. You don't have to be drowning in despair all the time. If you're seeing bad stuff on the timeline or on news sites and it is stressing you out, you can just walk away. Nobody has any right to tell you off for staying away when you need to.

Take care of yourselves.

I'm 8 episodes into Made in Abyss where the fuck is Nanachi

This is particularly silly because Chrome itself even handles the Google Translate integration by observing a combination of Content-Language and the lang attribute of the HTML tag. So some parts of Google seem to recognize this standard, while the search indexer uses fucking content heuristics and separate IPs to detect content language, and totally ignores the standard headers and html features.

@shaderphantom The GeoIP database is also wildly wrong quite often and ignores things like entire countries having no official/expected language for its citizens.

But well google doing crap that harms users is about as old as google is.

Example: just because I am accessing a Google site from an IP geolocated in Japan does not mean I want content localized in Japanese. Especially if my browser is already telling the web server I want it in English. Which it is.

Google is causing incalculable damage to the global web with its search indexer not respecting Accept-Language and Content-Language and encouraging webmasters to detect language preferences by IP geolocation instead of respecting the user agent's explicitly provided preference.

I have just been made aware that the composer for the Quake mission packs was Jeehun Hwang, who also did the soundtrack to Dark Reign, a 90s RTS I really love
