Bluey is a good show, but its status as the "Serious issue tackler" has been overblown by Internet

The best Breath of fire games are average compared to the worst RPG representative in the market

Morse should still be taught and used (Same with the NATO phonetic alphabet).

It's bad for coded messages but perfect for communication in case conventional methods are unavailable thanks to its binary system

Hexadecimal can also be nice but trickier.

Genuinely impressed that you "at"ed them in morse code.

If they made me God Emperor for a day the first thing I would do would be to change the calendar we use. Having every month be a different number of days, causing the day of the weeks to shift from month to month is crazy. Either we should do 12 months of 30 days, with a 5/6 day "extra" week at the end of the year, or 13 months of 28 days with New Year's/Leap Day as an intra-monthly day. I'm in favor of the latter, that way every single month would be exactly four weeks and be identical. No more buying calendars every year, it would always be the same.

Calendars are messy because of the fact they are never the same per years...

I'm wondering why they're not separating years with the same number of days.

When i was young i got a fire cracker with a small piece of paper in it that had a morse code key exactly like that. Me and my friend at school memorized the whole thing and could communicate all sorts of ways. we could even decipher it automatically and string together sentences but that was a long time ago and my memory has faded since then

Because there are 365 days in a year and that doesn't really divide evenly into anything. So you either have to have months with different days or extra days that don't fit into any month. I'm a fan of the latter, and there are some calendars that do it (Egyptian, French Revolutionary), but it's a hard sell.

I find it sad that seemingly 95% of RPG game discussion revolves around the same four or so series, when there are a wealth of underrated games (most of which are just as good, if not better than the mainstream ones) waiting to be discussed, analyzed and loved.

Because there are 365 days in a year and that doesn't really divide evenly into anything.

~365 days of 24 hours each. There could be more ways to subdivise days and years with those 8760 hours.

Maybe it's more convenient for divisions so at the end of the day it's not a big deal even if lunar calendars are also a thing.

And let's not get started with Sols on Mars and other planets.

So you either have to have months with different days or extra days that don't fit into any month. I'm a fan of the latter, and there are some calendars that do it (Egyptian, French Revolutionary), but it's a hard sell.

The Gregorian calendar is quite "recent" for human history.


It's interesting that we're using this calendar that has a religious origin yet we've used the Common Era naming to avoid any references. Maybe a "truly culturally neutral" way of counting time is sadly hard to do... Humanity's universal calendar and year won't be a thing until long after (like Gundam's Universal Century).

strawberries taste sour as hell and people only like them for the aesthetics rather than the taste, everything strawberry flavored just tastes artificial, you like the idea of a strawberry rather than the fruit itself

I've seen a ton of essays about how something that isn't popular (or usually panned) is "actually genius"...

The Castlevania 64 games are actually really good.
Final Fantasy 5,7,9 and the dissidia PSP games are the only good ones.
GTA's open worlds are boring as hell.
Uncharted and the last of us was never good.
The New assassin's Creed formula is way better then the old one same for the new Zelda games.
Modern action games take way to much inspiration from dark souls, i played stellar blade the other day and it just felt like a easier dark souls. Not that dark souls is bad, elden ring though...yeah not a big fan.

Punk gets better with the prefix "pop-" or "skate-" added to it, not worse.

Also the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy sucks and is quite frankly a huge insulting disgrace to its predecessors (the OG EVA TV series and duology of films) on the same level as the Star Wars Sequel trilogy

I think pineapple on pizza is good!
