With little to no English on street signs.

Yes, and if you speak English to them a lot of them will be rude to you

But you can't see this can you

I'm just over the bridge from you now

Around 40% of Quebec is bilingual though so you should be fine

Compared to around 10% of ontario

Onto the endgame of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky The 3rd, it's a good thing i read the guide just to check if the last area is a point of no return, a shame that EVERYONE is fighting because i haven't used Tita in a long time and she's the lowest level character i have (Level 103).

@fredley I just said both outloud, and they sound similar.

@fredley well it mostly depends on species and apparently it can vary by region but the borks I've heard (just hearing one atm) are more like fork

there are ones more similar to work but forks are more common

Nzall

@TheMattbat999 ah, I found what you did wrong. porkchat (without the space) is the extension. Pork Chat (WITH the space) is the chatroom for an adult website

The Mattbat999

@Nzall it pulled up the latter. Also, I typed in "porkchat".

I really don't mind paid cosmetics but P2W isn't cool

Kevin van der Velden

13:06

There used to be a cosmetic system called shaders, where you got an item and could apply it to any armour you want (you can reuse the same shader) and now instead of that we've got lootboxes with singleuse shaders that apply to a section of your amour

And also mods that you can get ingame

Unionhawk

apparently loot boxes are so common that it doesn't make any sense to buy them

at least were in 1

Kevin van der Velden

One per level after 20, I don't know how common that is

But uuh yeah, you probably need like 5 or so to paint an armour set? That's uuh a lot of boxes before you get 5 the same ones

And yeah, I don't trust publishers to assume they don't mess with that when they can now make money from not giving you things

we should really go back to the good old days when people didn't have the internet and devs/publishers had to develop games for a single player experience, after all loot boxes/crates need the internet to work

Today on People Need To Think Carefully About Legal Problems Instead Of Gut Reactions To Lawsuits.

Basically the argument here is that the homeowner's private properties (homes) were essentially taken by the government for public use (holding floodwater from the reservoir).

Given that that's basically eminent domain, the government should be required to pay the homeowners for said use.

Yes, the government had no choice.

Unionhawk

Well you see because the fair market value of flooded property is 0, the government legally owns all that land

Yuuki

I live in one of the areas affected (though I don't think my neighborhood is part of the suit) and I recognize that the government had to do this or else catastrophic consequences ensue.

I also recognize that this flooding issue is caused by rampant private development.

"You deserved it for buying a house near a reservoir or bayou" isn't really a good legal argument though.

Unionhawk

"maybe you should have thought about that before living in an area that just got hit with a hurricane"

#personalresponsibility

Yuuki

The actual legal issue at the heart of this lawsuit that no one seems to be discussing is whether the reservoir release can be considered as a form of eminent domain.

Yuuki

15:28

@MadMAxJr Yep, pretty much.

MadMAxJr

I also want the new XCom

Yuuki

Movement mechanics are bit more complex and varied but they simplify some other things.

So far, no enemies can overwatch.

And with the exception of Mario and Luigi, neither can you.

So you can really take advantage of the aforementioned movement mechanics.

MadMAxJr

Do they have to make a drastic call to amputate Toads arms and legs to fit him for the mech body?

Yuuki

Well, I haven't unlocked Toad as a playable character yet.

I don't even know if he is a playable character.

MadMAxJr

Yuuki

15:33

Well, he's a sniper and is currently the only character other than Mario who can overwatch.

Avery

what's overwatch

Unionhawk

Why does the blizzard fps have to share the name of a common turn based tactics game ability

Avery

also the crowd-sourced anti-cheat in CSGO

Unionhawk

@Avery It's an xcom ability that helps lock down movement. An overwatched soldier will take a reaction shot if an enemy moves in their sights on their turn

At like, 70% accuracy

Avery

Ahh, I see.

Unionhawk

15:35

typically

Yuuki

So far overwatch accuracy in M+R is 100%.

And accuracy isn't very complicated in M+R either. It's either 0% (full cover), 50% (half cover), or 100% (no cover).

Unionhawk

100% as in hits every time or 100% as in no penalty from what that shot would normally be

Yuuki

@Unionhawk 100% hits every time.

Unionhawk

ah, yeah moving would be no cover so same thing

Yuuki

As far as I'm aware, there's no aim stat in M+R.

Unionhawk

15:38

Honestly that feels better for a casual xcom since it always feels bad to have a 93% shot and get xcomed and miss

Yuuki

And missed shots aren't completely worthless in M+R.

Missed shots always hit and damage the cover.

MadMAxJr

Do Sectoid Goombas attempt mind control?

Yuuki

Which, depending on what the enemy is using for cover, might be better than hitting.

Unionhawk

I mean it either hits or increases the odds of/ensures a hit next turn

or at least forces them to find something else

Yuuki

There's also effect blocks which provide full cover but if they get hit, they unleash an effect in a small radius.

So maybe don't stand behind a Burn Block unless you have immunity in one way or another.

Unionhawk

15:42

Yeah that's like covering behind a car except worse

Because you can hang out there for at least a turn before it blows up

GodEmperorDune

@fredley what is the pidgin service?

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune Pidgin is a language. Ish.

Pidgin

A pidgin , or pidgin language, is a grammatically simplified means of communication that develops between two or more groups that do not have a language in common: typically, a mixture of simplified languages or a simplified primary language with other languages' elements included. It is most commonly employed in situations such as trade, or where both groups speak languages different from the language of the country in which they reside (but where there is no common language between the groups). Fundamentally, a pidgin is a simplified means of linguistic communication, as it is constructed impromptu...

fredley

@GodEmperorDune My new home page

Yuuki

> According to the BBC’s Editorial lead, Bilkisu Labaran, “…Pidgin is the language that is spoken by so many people across West and Central Africa and for the first time, we will be connecting with the next generation of speakers. Pidgin is the common thread in the region, the language of unity spoken by people from all walks of life, and we are excited at the prospect of providing this service.”

StrixVaria

@Yuuki Ok, so what are the two languages with similar elements that produced the "pidgin" seen in @fredley's article?

Yuuki

@StrixVaria Seems to be an English variant spoken in Africa.

@Yuuki interesting, TIL

fredley

@StrixVaria This is basically ~~creole~~ patois afaik, a language used by some African/Caribbean communities in and outside the UK.
