Now that you mention it, maybe the kids should be telling the closest police officer about the “sexy puppeteer”…

8·5 days agoOh! That could’ve been my mistake. I typed ö with the dots instead of ő with the little lines. Thanks
I’m reading now that the ő suffix makes it refer to a person?

6·5 days agoThis is so interesting and also so overwhelming, lol. Thank you. I remember you (I think) mentioning to look out for the endings of words before.
I’ve heard of some other languages doing something similar. For example, I’ve been trying to learn a bit of Danish recently, and they’ll sometimes tack on an -et to the end of a word to say “the”. I know German is supposed to be a language where you can frequently combine a bunch of words, but I’m not exactly sure how it works. Languages are fun.

11·5 days agoIt does look like an early one, but so far it’s been rare to find a source with print dates for individual strips.
If I’m honest, it really feels like a LOT of media got suddenly worse some time in the 2010s in general. TV, movies, big budget games - I know enshittification is a thing in every industry, but it feels like there was a major quality drop in such a short period of time.
There are obviously some exceptions, but it’s like a switch was flipped, and my interest was gone. GoT was one that carried on for a while, but then it succumbed to it too.
Ha, this is exactly the one I had in mind with my comment. I’ve re-watched it many times.

44·6 days agoHa, seriously! I was proud of myself for guessing that Könyve probably meant book, because I remembered translating Könyv from this one a few weeks back:

Me, trying not to talk about star trek in every unrelated thread:

Same. I really should watch it.
It was really, really good for so long. I’ve been tempted to rewatch it. Lots of series have terrible endings and are still enjoyable.
It’s amazing how strong the fandom for it still is. I realized that if I make it to 2066, I’ll have a favorite show that is 100 years old.

3·6 days agoYears ago, I used Moonlight to cast to an Nvidia Shield. It worked pretty well, although it still required a lot of back and forth to tinker with things on the host PC. Still, it was better than the Steam Link at the time. Recently, I tried using the built-in streaming in Steam to play on a different PC in the house, but it was much the same story: lots of back-and-forth, launchers were annoying, and sometimes it wouldn’t display on the right screen.
Maybe virtual machines would be an improvement.




They’re way more dangerous. The last time I was in a helicopter, the pilot kept trying to get us over a mountain ridge, but the low air density at that elevation kept causing the blades to be ineffective and would drop us. After a handful of tries, he gave up, and we went around.
I’ll probably never fly in one again.
