    I run a ceiling fan over my stairs while simultaneously running the air conditioning in order to help move the cold air upstairs. The thermostat is downstairs, which isn’t impacted by the hot sun hitting the roof. It may be pleasantly cool downstairs, while it’s still unpleasantly hot in the bedrooms. The fan helps to circulate the air between floors.

    Obviously this has nothing to do with running a fan in a closed room. That’s generally silly.


  • I’m a straight middle-aged man who regularly wears pink shirts and sometimes pink pants. I honestly don’t think anyone has ever given me any kind of look and I’m not the least bit self-conscious about pink clothing.

    11 years ago, I was dropping my daughter off at kindergarten and a kid walked up and said, “Hey! boys can’t wear pink!” I smiled and said, “Whoever told you that was wrong.” That’s the only time I’ve ever seen anything.

    Is there something specific about sneakers?


  • I’m going to hazard a guess that it might be Romanian. Romanian has the letter ș, which is an “s” with a comma beneath. Wikipedia. It wasn’t part of the Unicode standard until 3.0, so people used ş, which is an “s” with a cedilla.

    I have the modern Romanian keyboard on my phone, so I can easily type ș, but not ş. I can see how that would have broken during the changeover to Unicode 3.0.


  • I had read previously (and just confirmed on Wikipedia) that Mia Khalifa (real name Sarah Joe Chamoun) got her stage name from her dog, Mia, and Wiz Khalifa.

    So, familiarity with Wiz Khalifa is directly relevant to knowing how Mia Khalifa’s name is spelled.






  • Horizon Forbidden West added a “photo mode”, I think mostly just to show off how good the graphics can be (when nothing is being animated). It does look awesome. If you zoom the camera in, you get anatomically correct facial features.

    There might also be some conversation scenes with close-ups of Aloy. Depending on your graphics settings, you might get some extra details rendered.

    I am absolutely convinced that the game is not rendering fine hairs while you’re fighting robot dinosaurs, since, as you suggest, that would be kind of ridiculous.

    But, hey, you really kicked the shit out of that straw man! Great job!
