Having been a relay operator for a few years, this is true even in English. You might be able to guess what someone is saying (and the floor managers always encouraged trying to) but you’ll never have 100% accuracy and it’s far less confusing to the person getting the “translation” if you don’t have to make any corrections by actually waiting for the person to finish their sentence.

Your mom had nothing to do the whole time. She was a mother bored.

The Sims 4 (or 3, I forget) strove to reach the dream version of this: You buy a cheap property in a fully open world and ‘functioning’ town and you could walk from your front door to the town center, and the neighbour you see may also drive to town and you’ll see them there

That was 3. 3 also has the best customization system where you can make custom patterns for literally every object in the game, so you never had to live with mismatching furniture if you didn’t want to.

It’s the arcade-ified evolution of System Shock, IMO.

It has a lot of the same mechanics and ideas; but it’s all an inch deep instead of having any real depth.

As an RPG hybrid, it kinda sucks. As a straight up FPS, with action as the primary feature, compared to the contemporaries at the time is pretty good. Similar to how Fallout 4 sucks ass as an actual RPG, but is a pretty great FPS.

Just on my Lemmy.World account. Pawb is down for maintenance while they clone the database and move things around today. The display name is still Kolanaki, tho.

Can we dump Trump into the Boston harbor?

sigh does it at least come with ranch or peanutbutter? Celery is better with one of those.

I just started it up yesterday, and went to bed right after their big fight. So it does sound like that was supposed to happen. Now I wonder if I could have avoided being arrested. Like I have failed every single speech check the game has given me, and I know at least 2 things could have been way different than it ended up going because of those failures. lol

I am playing that, and I don’t know if the story always goes this way, or if I just suck so bad at speech craft and the game changed based on my dialogue failures, but Hans and Henry hate each other now.

My two dogs. Kona and Loki. I just combined them, but accidentally put an A where an O should have been and just went with it.

Ko Lo Na Ki

So, uh… You gonna trade me a better machine for my current one, Microsoft?

That piano riff. You know the one.

Totally fair. Why should the business get the award when the people that made the thing that won the award no longer work for the business?

To be fair, I had some of those complaints with the instances initially being linked. It clicked when RIF linked to Lemmy.World in its final update message. It didn’t have dumbass hoops to go through, just a straight forward email, username, password, you’re in system like the first few things I was seeing. That and many people were over explaining it and just confusing the hell out of people.
