Time to sing "Caga tió" and beat a log until it gives us sweet treats...

For those unaware, this is a scene from the Silmarillion (Fingolfin fighting Morgoth). An epic flight of an elf taking on a demigod.

It's so good, but I'm a bit sad that my current playthrough from last week can't load into 1.0...

It's gotta be pahoehoe (the one that looks like honey being stirred)

While there are actually several new world marsupials, I'm fairly certain that they're all opossums.

If you're referring to being blind to the plot specifically (but not what style of game it is), then my list is:

  • outer wilds
  • hades
  • disco elysium

I like the detail of this map better, though it is still overly broad (not accounting for AAVE or other minority groups, and not differentiating on age): https://aschmann.net/AmEng/

Not a map, but if you want better spoken examples of various accents and dialects, this is a great source: https://www.dialectsarchive.com/united-states-of-america

This looks awesome! Which TUI framework are you using (if any)?

I haven't had to write in a news style too often, but headlines (from AP guidelines at least) are meant to stand entirely on their own and without context.

While I agree that language can and should change, the use of hyperbole, slang, or cliches in a headline can negatively impact the clarity of the headline, which is most important.

Does something like decimate or carnage have two widely accepted meanings now? Then as an editor, I would caution against their use in a headline. Something like "Hundreds sickened in suspected mass food poisoning at New Zealand university" seems fine and is without clickbait.

So when Gandalf said "fly, you fools" to the fellowship, he was ordering them to sprout wings and fly away?

Flounders are born symmetrical; eye migration happens as they transition to the juvenile stage of growth.

That looks to be some type of velvet worm.

Perhaps it's just me, but these have the exact same energy.
