The difference is that in going to the past you have some idea of how things played out and what changes might matter. The changes that come up in time travel discussions are things like "kill this person before they do anything" or "let this guy into art school" or "cancel this one particular flight." By the time the real consequences of possible small changes are known, you need more than small changes to acheve your objective.

Given how she vigorously denied any connection well before anyone was talking about it, she pretty much already told on herself.

That's my thought too.

Get out of the tunnel and swab the gunnel!

At this point I'm already capped out on medals, it's pretty easy to earn them faster than we can spend them. Going out of your way to maximize medals earning is just optimizing the fun out of your game.

You can "No True Scotsman" as hard as you want but they're nailing this shit to your church door like that was the only part they learned.

I'm deeply disappointed you didn't take the chance to go with "Ditch the caves, hit the waves!"

It really sounds like you've misunderstood what this change is actually doing. This isn't steam forcing you to use a particular language, those settings aren't going anywhere. It's also not going to force you to see reviews in the game's native language either, so your worry about "french reviews of French games made in france" is just... wrong. What it's doing is sorting reviews by language, under the idea that reviews written in the language you use are probably more relevant to you. And if even that is unacceptable, you can disable the whole system to keep it just the way it is.

This actually means you're MORE likely to get reviews that are more accurate. First, because it limits the impact of regional review bombing. Now if a game upsets one particular population, their review bombing doesn't render the whole score meaningless. It's worth pointing out, games have been heavily review bombed for the sin of competing with, or beating, other regionally popular games for awards. It also means that if the content of a game hits better, or worse, for a demographic based on language, that will be reflected here. If the game is getting rave reviews where it was made, but the translations and voice work for YOUR localization are terrible, you will see reviews that reflect that. You probably don't care how great the voice acting was in the native Chinese version if you only speak English, and what may seem culturally brilliant to a Japanese audience may lose a lot of the impact for you.

I just want to use my currency and being able to just speak English.

This change was made with you in mind.

No it's pretty obvious that he wasn't targeting the girl, we're not saying he should be charged with various flavors of battery and sexual assault because we thought he meant it to hit her. And calling it just "a prank for the athletes" can fuck all the way off.

Looks like those topics are incredibly popular! Replace the missing volumes and expand the section!

They're so close to actual understanding of how much they suck.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Yeah they can't say because who fucking knows what tariffs will or won't be in place next week, much less when the thing launches.

 

What do you mean September?
