@WoomyNNYes You could have easily let the video stay up. Nobody is forced to watch it, so a disclaimer about any F-bombs or other "adult" mutterings would have sufficed, instead of making up your mind and removing it.
@kkslider5552000 "Never... too much" probably goes for a lot of things in life, if not for everything. Well, except for breathing and enjoying it while we're here...
@ThanosReXXX I was going to be away from the computer, in case anyone complained. There was way more cussing than I'm used to seeing in a game presentation Trying to keep it kid friendly here. Although, chit chat probably bores kids.
@WoomyNNYes Kind of my point. In here, it's only older people, and as mentioned, a disclaimer would have sufficed. Personally, I'm not bothered at all by F-bombs. I find it to be almost childish, compared to how people swear over here (in the Netherlands), which is FAR worse, because instead of sexual references, they use death and terminal diseases, so f-you, mother*** and so on are child's play compared to that.
@Tyranexx Yeah it's cool that they still have it up after the livestream, just in case one was too busy. I rewatched it too, I pretty much got the gist of how TOK plays. I wanna pick it up soon - I just have to avoid spoilers!

AKA MarioVillager92. Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I want to get to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
Uh... I’m back, so here’s a big long post for everything I missed!
I recently got a Pro Controller to stop Joy-Con Drift. I wish NL posted about Pro Drift a few weeks earlier. 😢
@Zuljaras OMG, so cute! I love cats, but my household are allergic.
@ThanosReXXX You have to be able to ignore users. I recently ignored a user because of his negative impact on Anti, me and a few others. I don’t know your feelings about it, but If you need to use it, you need to use it.
P.S. Anti is the bull, you don’t need to react like that, just let him express his opinions, feelings and art. It’s really good, Anti.
For social media, I agree with @kkslider5552000. Even if you are wise, it’s still taking over your life with negative, inappropriate stuff.
P.S. For KK, thanks for making your profile a pride flag and for coming out. I grew up with two moms, so I’m happy other LGBTQ2+ users are here. 🙏
@WoomyNNYes I’m younger than a lot of the people here, but I enjoy this thread. I don’t generally watch game presentations like that, as it’s just a lot of news about games I won’t even buy or show any interest to.
As for Oragami King, I’m still on the fence. I mean, it’s a Mario game, so it has to be good, and it looks pretty fun... but is it good enough? I try to limit the amount of games I buy, and the game says that the Mario Remasters could be coming soon and I need to buy that. I’ll wait for the NL review.
@Dark_Magician It was in My related section. So weird... it won’t let me comment either. I suppose I should be humble and tag @dartmonkey and tell him I can see his article.
Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.
@BabyYoshi12 I think drift may be less an issue with pro controllers. My two pro controllers that got drift seemed to take about 500 hours of playtime to develop drift (left analog stick). And, I have a theory that the tense/fast play with Splatoon 2 online may be the biggest driver of that wear. That's just my theory, though. My experience hardly a large scientific sample, but that's how long they seemed to last for me. And I've looked around, and I haven't seen another controller to match the quality and have all the features a pro controller has. So, you still bought the best Switch controller available.
(in other places here, i've said it took 300-500 hours to for me to get drift, but thats because I didn't want to admit publicly that I put 500 hours on each of my two pro controllers. I'M A NERD, EVERYBODY!! 🤪)
EDIT: I just remembered there was an Ubisoft presentation today! I gotta go finds it!!!
no problem! Though I think I added the info to my signature late last year, because I updated nearly all my online profiles with that type of info at the same time.
@ThanosReXXX I fully expect that it's not very reliable. I'd bet a sizable chunk of money that it records what you say, there's a delay, and then it delivers the translation. Still useful, but not remotely real time.
Especially when you consider different language structures like SVO vs SOV. SVO to SVO wouldn't be as bad, but SVO to SOV or even SOV to a different SOV would be difficult.
SVO: English, Subject, Verb, Object: I eat pizza.
SOV: Japanese: 僕はピザを食べる。 (I pizza eat.)
In translating say, Japanese to English, without crazy good prediction, getting accurate translation without the full sentence is really hard to impossible. If I say 僕はピザを (I pizza) it can be any number of different things that come next. Like, eat, sell, cook, buy, etc etc...
Perhaps a high level AI that analyzes speech patterns could get reasonably accurate, but I doubt such a system is cost effective - YET or small enough and easy enough to run on a phone or tablet YET.
But I expect it will get there. I was wrong about how fast AI translation would develop once already. Seeing how fast it has improved over the last decade, I don't see much reason to question it continuing to improve.
Though I don't think they'll ever entirely overcome the real time issues.
@Tyranexx I don't remember if I mentioned it to you or someone else, but a big part of why public transportation is so bad in America is due to the automotive lobby and legalized bribery of politicians in America. In a sane country you have to keep your bribes hidden but in America you just call it a campaign contribution and all is forgiven. While the media will tell you "oh no, there's no reason to assume that, because the big 3 auto companies gave millions in campaign donations to these politicians that said politicians will ever vote in their favor, rather than in favor of the voters! How dare you question their integrity like that!"
It's pretty well known to those of us who grew up in Southeast Michigan that the trains and tram systems were pressured to shut down by the political influence of the auto lobby in order to pressure people into buying more cars. (any disagreement comes from those who support or oppose that move)
And the stigmatization of public transportation I suspect to be related to the way most public and community things are in the US. Like public education, affordable housing, food stamps etc etc.
Part of that western/American culture of "you should do everything yourself and only you should reap any rewards - and those who are struggling are clearly just lazy and/or incompetent and screw society!"
@Heavyarms55 Japanese, imo is probably one of the, if not the, the least translatable languages out there. Translation software is still not really ai, be is still just algorithmic decision trees. Language follows rules, and the rules can be mapped. So much of Japanese is inference based rather than rule driven. The literal meanings so often translate to pure gibberish because the meaning isn't in the words but in the relevant inference... Software.... Really can't go there. For formal speech yes, kind of. But common and technical speech, not really.
But otherwise, yeah...i still see, and now more than ever, 70%+unemployment as the normal. There's simply no use for most of the human race in the age of automation... Any economic system designed around earning your keep can't function in an automated age. Very few jobs can't be automated. And despite the "people will get more better jobs maintaining the machines"that's a farce. The whole reason for the machines is to need less people. And only the upper intelligence workers have any future in that. The plague accelerated it. I see the medieval period as the economic analogue. Peasants that did nothing more than menial servitude in exchange for not enough bread and a thatched roof.... And monks and the nobles that were learned and ran the world. But with a gilded industrial age twist.
