A nutria enjoying a snack
  • It is a word borrowed from Spanish, according to merriam-webster. Therefore, the plural will be nutrias according to the rules of Spanish. All those other words, though probably latin or Greek in origin, have been in the English language long enough that they are no longer borrowed words and therefore follow English grammar rules.

    The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
  • I always thought that Johnny won the contest, but Johnny's pride will eventually land himself in hell anyway, pride being one of the seven deadly. Devil doesn't care that he lost and doesn't flip out for that reason.

    Ubisoft just added Denuvo to Assassins Creed Mirage via a day-1 patch a few minutes ago. AFTER all the major reviews went online.
  • This misconception with DRM making it unplayable on steam deck I think stems from 3rd party anti-cheat software flagging Linux players. Denuvo "works" fine on steam deck and Linux as a whole, same goes for anti-cheats. Developers always have the option to tune the anti-cheats to allow Linux players, but only some of them do.

    Ubisoft just added Denuvo to Assassins Creed Mirage via a day-1 patch a few minutes ago. AFTER all the major reviews went online.
  • They rat-fucked Kojima towards the end of development of MGS5 and then raped the corpse of the FOX engine with that shitty MGS zombies game. When that didn't work they decided to take a break from making video games and transitioned most of their development resources into making gambling house games for casinos. All their IPs went away for a while but I think they're trying to get back into making games more recently.

    What weird idioms/phrases does your language have?
  • Like pearls to swine is a very seldom used idiom in English too, used very rarely and often in archaic/medievel/fantasy settings. Very interesting 2 languages have a shared idiom so neatly translated.

    Hatoful Boyfriend dev has not received any royalty payments from Epic games since Spring 2021
  • What're you even talking about??? Epic takes a revenue share of every game made with unreal engine, plus Fortnite runs exclusively on mommy's credit card and is still insanely huge. Even if the epic games store doesn't take as big a cut of every sale, they're held by daddy Tencent who'll probably kick em some lunch money if they're actually desperate.

    Do you have boots that are comfortable?
  • Work boots? Try Thorogoods, redwings, even a few of the Wolverines brands like Bates are awesome.

    Casual wear boots are somewhat trickier. Gotta just try em on in person see which ones fit to you correctly.

    There is a "break in" period for all leather boots though, where the leather softens at the natural bends when you walk. Takes only a few days if you treat the leather right and keep it clean and moisturized.

    xkcd #2818: Circuit Symbols
  • I could resist the urge... But... Uh... The transcript incorrectly labels the symbol for capacitor, it's actually the NEMA symbol for a contactor.

    E: Had to make sure I wasn't putting my foot in my mouth. Capacitor symbol is extremely similar, but the right side needs to be bent like a parentheses for it to be a capacitor like -|(-

    Windows Updated and is Pushing More Stuff
  • I've been using AtlasOS, which is Windows 10 disemboweled from a bunch of bloat. It runs like a dream, my only criticism is that they've gutted a bunch of (imo) critical safety features, but they give you the option to reinstate them in their setup files. The next update for it will supposedly add them back in by default.
