That's one reason I've ordered a few titles from PlayAsia recently. For example, the NTSC switch edition of the Metal Gear Solid collection requires downloading the titles. With the PlayAsia edition, lo and behold- everything is on the card, and multiple languages to boot.

Watch Loki. I think we have our big bad.

So, this is both fascinating and remarkably simple once you learn some basics about how spoken language evolves.

Let's start here: say "woman" out loud. Now, say it again, and this time pay attention to your tongue. When you said "woman," did you pronounce the "o" sound at the front of your mouth, higher in your mouth, and the "a" at the back, lower in your mouth?

Now try this. Say "women," again paying close attention to where the vowel sounds come from in your mouth. First pronounce "women" as it is written- kind of like "woah men." Do you feel how much more work that requires that pronouncing "woman" does? Now, pronounce "women" as you naturally do. Assuming you are in North America, this probably sounds a bit like "wimmin."

Probably, this "wimmin" pronunciation feels easier and more natural. This is largely because those vowel sounds originate in roughly the same area. When a word has multiple vowel sounds and they move from front to back or top to bottom, there's a good chance we will naturally shift towards an easier pronunciation.

It was confirmed back in January. They very well may have already begun recording lines.

The two are unrelated, just happening confidently AFAIK. That said, the purpose of a widespread strike is to make people that would normally be unaffected pay attention. Grinding the economy to a halt forces action, at least in theory.

It's just marketing. They want these movies to dominate everyone's attention, and the juxtaposition between these two is ludicrous enough to get people talking

These older consoles are simple repairs. Start with replacing the capacitors on the board. If that doesn't do it, you can find the problematic component with a multimeter

Most of the Nier:Automata soundtrack. Most of the Persona 5 Royal Soundtrack.

Edited because I'm grumpy right now and my previous comment was needlessly mean-spirited.

Milhouse is not a meme

I'm still salty that 3 was canceled out of spite.

 
 
 
 

My hope is for this to become a space where people in some way affiliated with the state of Alabama can discuss news, life, memes, etc related to living in (or being from) Alabama.

Roll Tide. War Eagle.
