Should be interpretation instead
I get that, but I just mean in the particular example given, in terms of how first-person pronouns are structured, English is undoubtedly simpler, and while there are obviously examples where the opposite is true (Japanese having fewer phonetic sounds), throw in Kanji and keigo and I see his point.
Someone's already referred to this article as "ragebait".
The guy's explaining the difference between how the English and Japanese language works. Calling English a "simple language" isn't an attempt to invoke rage – he's right.
I even added that extra line in the post to clarify before the click.
If there’s any justice at all left on this big orb, I hope so
It doesn’t look like it, which is criminal. Suppose you could turn the smile upside down but that’s not the same
Bloody wallet just started holding the A button between '2' and '1'
Fiiiiiinally. Been waiting for this for 10 years, played it briefly at BitSummit two years ago and loved it.
Well, when we launch Milk Chronicle I'll be sure to keep that in mind.
We deal in facts, not assumptions, and the fact is it's officially being called a console. We've seen nothing of this device, and until we do we're sticking with the official terminology.
A hybrid console is still a console.
Xbox refers to Project Helix as "the code name for our next generation console". Until we see solid evidence of anything suggesting otherwise, we're going by what the manufacturer is calling it.
I love this. My 7-year-old daughter loves Splatoon too, I hope your girl continues to absolutely rock it.

I think it'll live or die by its staging but based on the song itself I think it's a solid start
UK's not pissing around with Eurovision this year. I'm into this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=niMK...
I very much love this, but I have to admit that after reading “I PROGRAMMED A MOO” I can’t stop thinking about robot cows now
I’m very happy for you even if I don’t trust that font 😛
I mean, I say it but I don't know how common it is
Was up to prick o'clock the other night putting this and the review together so please check them both out and share the piss out of them if you enjoy them.
AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM YEET, CAUSE THAT'S NOT A THREAT THAT'S A BEST THERE EVER WILL BEHAUSEN
(I'm tired)
I've had WWE 2K26 out of my eyeballs for the last week. Here's 3,000 words on the fella.
Hi, I wrote the article - this is the terminology the research firm used throughout its report, so that's what I went with. Because the report covers players aged 16+, technically it's not exclusively referring to 'women' (in the UK for example, they're legally considered children until 18).
First-party, even.
Look, it's been a week already
If the next Xbox can indeed run Steam games, then it makes sense that PlayStation would take this step to prevent a loophole killing all first-person console exclusivity
Saw a report saying if Disney still wants to go ahead and build a Disneyland in Abu Dhabi, it'll need to install missile defence systems because a US corporate landmark will be considered a "soft target" for aggressors who don't want to attack the US directly.
That's Star Wars land guaranteed then
Highguard is officially shutting down, little over six weeks after its launch, developer Wildlight Entertainment has confirmed.

One thing I love about Scott Pilgrim EX is that it's packed with references to other games, but they're often subtle ones where if you get it, you'll smile and if you don't, there's no harm done.
As a big fan of the first Scott Pilgrim game I was hoping the sequel wouldn't drop the ball.
It definitely doesn't.
100%. I get that it's a psychological thing and that on paper it's technically the same outcome, but if it's something I'm not previously familiar with, "here's our game, give it a shot" is more likely to get me to engage with it than "here's our game, ask us and we'll let you give it a shot"
