I’m a bit confused here, not gonna lie - partially by the fact that this has apparently come up enough for you to necessitate a “conventional way” to phrase it, but mostly due to that phrase inexplicably being one of the creepiest sentences I’ve ever goddamn read lol

That’s something I would expect to see on like a list of serial killer pick up lines or one of the last outputs from an insane, rogue AI as it launches all our nukes at each other or something

What if this is the right answer tho, in a roundabout sorta way… It would seem somehow fitting for OP’s scenario to result in some sort of registration request, wouldn’t it? 🤣😂

Are you asking how/what is percievable prior to a locus of such perception existing? If so, just as a fun bonus question: which of us do you think is higher - you for asking, or me for attempting to answer? 🙃😁

People be like: “Just try to think of the last time you were happy and…”

And I’m just over here thinking: “I remember being happy once… It was 1996. I was nine.”

Pff, whatever man… Schumer got them to strike the name off of the one big abominable bill!

That totally more than makes up for their seeming refusal to do anything about his attempted coup!

Be that as it may, I honestly don’t see what difference that would make in regards to OP’s point… While it is spmewhat rather ironic, their argument over choice of word(s) in this particular situation is - imo, anyway- not one of semantics, but more of localization.

Either way, whether this is a language selector or region switcher (or any variation on such a theme for that matter), I believe the point OP was - correctly, if you ask me - making is: Whenever a UX/UI element is needed to prompt for proper display language, each language should be displayed however it appears in its native tongue as opposed to how it appears in whatever language is currently selected.

As an added bonus, this also solves the problem of a user inadvertently changing the language (or forgetting to lock their workstation when leaving briefly and returning to find it changed to “help them remember to lock their station when not in active use” allegedly… not that that’s happened to anyone I know or anything) and being unable to change it back due to not knowing how to spell “English” in Japanese, for example.

Well, it isn’t like he hasn’t earned it at this point… How the fuck are you gonna spend the better part of a decade buying up a shit ton of studios - ostensibly to make you a competitive stable of console moving exclusives - to have almost all of them release what are arguably their worst games time and time again… So to compensate, they shutter studios who’ve just produced games almost universally lauded by critics and crowd alike, and then just say fuck it, we never even believed in exclusives to begin with, yet decided not to take a stand on it until… now for… reasons…? 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

And now, as an added bonus, this is pretty much just the overall vibe of the US in general too

I want off Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride

Underaquaia? Seaunderia? Drownica? Or, my personal favorite: “fuck ugly giant cthulu adjacent heart attack inducer 2”

I can only imagine the new PTB are already working feverishly to add mandatory for story progression, 30+ hour combined Seatruck and Snowfox segments, a minigun which mounts to the seaglide, and mats necessary for key endgame craftables which are conveniently available exclusively through loot boxes you can earn by sending individual dev team members your nudes or earn 15 a week absolutely free with your monthly Deep Dive Club subscription

Also, from orbit the planet looks completely covered by ocean, but once you land it’s like calf high at its highest… but there are still leviathans, for some reason. Because fuck you, that’s why.

Well… In light of this thread, I’m certainly not gonna be able to look at Gamepass the same way now, at least…

dat haptic fredback

rumble rumble

My former girlfriend’s vagina is an Xbox to me…

Man… This right here is a huge part of why I decided to try going back to consoles after being a PC only gamer for like 20+ years

Awww did i hurt the poor wittle racist’s feelings? How sad 🤣😂

I mean, I guess? I dunno, I kinda wondered that at first, but I’m also kinda at a loss at to what other comment that could be a response to as well…? 🤷‍♂️ I mean, it seems like it’s at least in the right thread, mostly, from the context lol 😂

Both what? Tf are you talking about??

On both sides of what? What are you even talking about? And what other media, exactly, is providing not only a public mouthpiece to, but also driving steady streams of traffic directly toward, unabashed misogynists and bigots? I’ll wait… 🙄

You can definitely take your dogwhistles and white supremacist apologism and fuck right off with it tho 😁

If I had to give a single reason, it’d probably be because they’re the ones, by and large, who are not only providing a platform for the dissemination of these abhorrent views by this trash, but they’re directly profiting from it to boot… I feel like that’s honestly pretty obvious, though I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt here and choose to assume you’re genuinely asking and not just being facetious

I think a better question would be: Why don’t they want to?

Im pretty sure the flying monkeys are in a whole other medium, actually…

But, ‘a rose by any other name…’ and all, I suppose… 😋

That little monkey is 'Alas, Poor Yorick’ing his little heart out over there, but I bet come award season you won’t hear a goddamn thing about him… Why, you might ask?

Because there aren’t any fucking awards for stage actor monkeys. Duh.

That was a stupid question, honsstly, I’m not sure why you even asked it.
