Damn, I remember a big fall from stairs I suffered as a kid, scrapped a good chunk of skin from my knee but made full recovery in a couple of weeks, nowadays the lightest bruise leaves me permanently scarred 😮‍💨

Lemminary,

I remember being a kid and falling on my face then getting up and running. Now I fall on my face and need an ambulance for a bruised rib.

Actually… Why is it “Lizard” but “Blizzard”? “z” sounds exactly the same as “zz”

Annoyed_Crabby,

The first “z” belong to the “bliz”, so it’s more like bliz-zard.

lesarde >> lizard (c. 700-1300 ad) - slow process over hundreds of years of evolving from a mix of languages but at this point heavily influenced by the French

unknown etymology, maybe blitzartig >> Blizzard (1870) coined overnight by a newspaper guy in the era of muck raking, yellow journalism and the birth of the tabloid.

I propose we pronounce the izz in blizzard similarly to pizza.

/ˈbli.d͡zɑɹd/

For consistency. And definitely not so that we can lead into it with a mamma mia.

funkless_eck,

you say “pizza” like “pee-jarred?”

I think you mean just /ts/ not /dz/

-young explorer, do you have a moment to help an old otter?

ArcaneSlime, in Inspiration

Uhhh, buddy? Most of those were Europeans born in “city name” who moved and founded “new city name” because they were born in “city name.” This is a you thing.

Retro arch/ any emulator is great for this. I can waste an hour on 1st gen Pokémon on short downtimes. And when im stuck in layover or on the train, I can crank out half the story of chrono trigger.

People have always had a lack of creativity.

When the Greeks were settling around the Mediterranean they founded many ‘New Cities’, (Neapolis). One remained a ‘new city’ for long enough for the name to evolve to Naples.

The Phoenicians did the same, in their language ‘New City’ was Qart Hadasht, we now call it Carthage. One of the Carthages in what is now Spain was conquered by Rome and to differentiate it from the Capital of the Carthaginians they called it Carthago Nova, essentially New New City.

bizarrocullen,

Also the city of Nabeul in Tunisia and Nablus in Palestine also share the same etymology as Naples.

eating3645,

There’s something beautiful about ancient cities being named “new city”

I feel like lizard and starfish should be swapped. Or can I cut a lizard in half and get two lizards?

cuerdo,

I thought about it but, if you cut the tail of a lizard you can get a full lizard.

If you cut a starfish in half, you get two starfish, which is half as cool

pearsaltchocolatebar,

That doesn’t make any sense. A lizards tail won’t generate a new lizard, and a lizard will never fully regenerate their tails.

LinkOpensChest_wav, in What can I do for you THIS TIME

On the rare occasion I decide to do a group dungeon in ESO, I feel like I get a text from my husband “wanna go to the store.” Every. Time.

And it’s hard to explain that I can’t just quit right now, it wouldn’t be fair to the nice little people in my PC.

WarmSoda,

Just tank the dungeon.
No one will notice you’re gone.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I’ve only ever been a FPS scrub, so they’d notice.

At least I’m not a healer! Everyone blames the healer!

WarmSoda,

I tried tanking a few times. It’s hard ass work if you don’t have every single mob location memorized.

Healings fun though. People actually thank you some times. But yeah I’m just DPS loser most of the time.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

A few times when I first started engaging in multiplayer stuff, I forgot to unequip the Ring of the Pale Order which prevents being healed. Oopsie daisie.

Canada did it right, and just named the city without adding new.

London Ontario, Paris Ontario, Berlin Ontario (before it was renamed over a minor European dispute).

Unfortunately Nova Scotia was already called that before it joined.

This, but always during an unpausable cutscene.

I use to wonder the same thing with the GF when it came to Zelda. It always seemed she was in a part of the game she couldn’t pause.

One day she showed me the game play and I couldn’t believe the amount of loading and dialog scenes that modern games sit through these days.

ProbablyYourDad,

What she hasn’t told you is the Switch can go in sleep mode and pick up right where she left off at any time

DontRedditMyLemmy,

Yeah, or just press the Home button to pause and game on any situation

WashedOver,
@WashedOver@lemmy.ca avatar

Ha that I suspected but I’m the same way. I wanted to finish what I was in the middle of. Mind you there was no sleep mode on my Sega. At least with the emulators you can save state now.

Kusimulkku,

Fuck unpausable cutscenes
