The US interpretation of free speech is not what the world considers free speech.

It is, that was the twist - the Doctor is not the good man.

Yes.

You’re misreading it (unless you’re against gay marriage I suppose) - the article tries to break it down, but it’s still a mess.

The plaintiffs are the pro same-sex couples that complained that the state is wrong to refuse same-sex marriage. They appealed to get a better ruling than what they got at first. The second ruling is still not everything they wanted, but it’s still much better than before the complain.

and that’s all the news channels gone.

Alpha 3 on Playstation made you work a bit on the tour mode to unlock Guile, Evil Ryu, Shin Akuma (raise a character to level xyz). Shin Bison might also have only been selectable after beating him somewhere.

the Alpha/Zero and EX series did that (Alpha 3 on PSX made you work a little bit to unlock the PSX exclusive characters/forms), then there was also CvS and some of the Marvel games, but that was mixed in with a point and shop system I think.

I think he said multiple times that he found it very hard to spend his money (for good things) faster than he’s still earning it. He was the poster boy for capitalism in the booming tech market when it happened (with all the shitty business practices you can think of), but after he left Microsoft, he’s been doing good things and trying to throw as much money as possible on it. He’s at a level where his wealth hoarding happens on its own, even if he’s not greedy for money. He’s not trying to hoard it, he’s part of the group of billionaires who keep saying they need to be taxed more.

Dedicated key on an azerty keyboard on tablet/laptop, or switching back to French setting on the phone. If weren’t French I woudn’t bother searching for it every time.

I can’t remember if fiance or fiancee is correct

Fiancé is male, fiancée is female.

Hebrew used a generic word for fruit, all languages translated that word as their version of apple which was generic at the time, and then much later, all languages changed the meaning of their word for apple, it’s not specific to French. The use of apple for one specific fruit is fairly recent - more recent than the King James Bible, even.

I don’t know what the word in Hebrew is and if it also changed its meaning since then, though.

Momotaro befriends a dog. Momotaro befriends a monkey. Momotaro befriends a pheasant. Momotaro murders a demon king and plunders his fortress island.

But is that a fact

(it’s not)

Pretty sure it’s this one from 2015

Looks like it’s the 2015 discovery:

It was a handful of extra lines that described the Cedar Forest being much more lively and noisy, acting like a whole royal court, than previous versions. It also showed that the whole tablet was much more recent than previously thought.

I think the joke is this isn’t the Lady of the Lake. The guy just saw a sword poking out of the water and thought it was Excalibur, but it isn’t. So that’s not its scabbard either.

I knew it was Sebastian Stan, but then I watched this (without sound) and couldn’t tell if it looked more like Jimmy Fallon or Bill Hader.

and I don’t even use them on my PS5 because I prefer 60+ FPS to graphical fidelity I can’t even see the difference in.

So the idea of the PS5 Pro is basically to play with the same graphic quality as graphic mode, but with the performance of performance mode.

If you’re saying you don’t even need graphic mode on your PS5, then obviously you don’t need a PS5 Pro. But there are people who want both 4K and 60 FPS. They’re not that many, but they’re vocal, and that’s what the PS5 Pro is trying to sell.

“I don’t even have a bike, so what’s the point of all those bike helmet sales?”

I can’t believe we haven’t learned anything since “it’s about ethics in games journalism”. “It’s about monetization in AAA games” now, apparently.

I totally agree that there has been a hate campaign about DEI right-wing complains, but there’s two subjects that came to head at the same time here because it was on the same big title:

Star Wars Outlaw and AC Shadows had the same business model, Star Wars showed that it failed, and Ubisoft got spooked and said they’d have another look at the monetization model for AC. People did get pissed at both games when their business models with passes and editions everywhere were revealed.

It’s just that AC also had at the same time the matter of racist and misogynist hate because of the protagonists. I don’t think this happened on Star Wars, and the fact that it failed too shows that it isn’t the only complain people are having against Ubisoft.

Apparently the monetization guy is stepping on the minority hate campaign subject, he’s the one conflating the two problems here just because his job title. We shouldn’t forget that Ubisoft did pull an infuriating and deplorable stunt with that monetization model.

No one blames New York on the Avengers, or even on Thor. It only gets serious with Sokovia, which is entirely Tony’s fault going off the rails in secret. It’s also introduced slowly and early, with a woman blaming Tony for her son’s death in Avengers I think (before the Iron Man thing), which starts him early on facing his guilt and responsibility, leading to his fuck-up.
