Americans are wrong
Don’t forget Australia, NZ, S Africa, and a few other places like Japan.

That 2002 movie just got the title wrong. Looks like it was supposed to be 22 Years Later
After how Japan mangles names and words into katakana I can’t get too worked up over languages without (formally transcibed) vowel length forget a macron or double letter in publications for non-speakers.
Besides, I don’t think the h thrown into Ohtani is gonna make Dodgers fans say his name any different than without it. It would be similar to trying to get a random Japanese person to use vowels outside the five sounds they have.
They’ve discovered that farmed puffers don’t have toxic organs. The poison comes from the food they naturally ingest, so farming them on a special diet makes them safe.

That’s Mr. Ramenfuji to you-- no melons no lemon!
The actual place is Morioka if you were curious.
A lot of place names in English speaking countries are just names of natural or man-made features, but the etymology isn’t obvious. Like Portsmouth or Waterford are pretty understandable, but -don, -den, -ton (valley, hill, farm) are all just things.
The Eyebrow’s pretty cool though. Japan’s also got some good ones, like Thousand Leaves, Oak (just oak), or (loosely translated) Noodle Hill. They like numbers too, like Eight Door or Lake Twelve. There’s even a Silent Hill, but it’s not too silent these days with almost 700,000 people there.
Tom Scott had some more info on that
Right, I only fly once or twice a year, but I’m not sure how frequency of flying relates to whether reclining a seat is acceptable on a long flight.
I moved roughly halfway around the world from my hometown. Any time I want to see my family I fly 10-14 hours followed by a 3-5 hr connection. Just got back from a trip home that was 29 hours door to door, which was the first time since the pandemic that the airlines didn’t fuck me with delays and missed connections. The last two times were 40+ hours.
No reclining? Fuck that shit-- most of my flights are long as hell and I’m not sitting ramrod straight for 14 hours. I can barely sleep as it is and those extra few degrees of tilt (plus a few beers) are the only thing that lets me get a couple hours passed out.
I saw this one in a yt vid of various mods and it looked great–adding roguelike stuff into Doom is so cool. I’ll definitely give it a shot.
Yeah I prob should’ve posted one of the total conversion mods like doom zelda
I’m just surprised everyone has heard of a mod that’s like 2 weeks old.
Curses! Looks like word got out faster than I anticipated, which makes me happy as a doom fan :)
Doom II
…wait don’t downvote yet, you’ve gotta play it with the new ray tracing mod
Don’t download this song
Would anyone in good faith, with only two options “Stereotypical Brodude or Fashion Magazine Cover Girl”, is going to play the former with she/her or the latter with he/him?
Not sure what you mean by “good faith” here, but I can assure you there are some he/him dudebros that play female characters bc if you’re gonna be staring at someone in 3rd person the entire game it might as well be someone attractive to you.
Also it’s perhaps a minority of gamers, but people with fewer identity issues don’t need to see themselves as a self insert for their character, so why not play someone totally different from you?
Yeah Goro was probably cheaper overall, but the CPU in general in SF had unblockable moves and invincibility that they used to interrupt your attack. Of course, input reading goes on in a lot of games and MKI was I’m sure no exception (found this MKII video about it). I think it just got ramped up even more for M Bison, so he ended up being pretty comparable to the MK bosses as well.
Typical Japanese bullshittery. I watch sumo, and even when there was no official way to watch outside Japan the sumo association would get youtube accounts showing matches taken down. Tons of industries are still run by technological dinosaurs.
