You make it sound so arbitrary.
Everything that comes in the first third of your life/fandom is normal, how things should be, how they always were.
The second third is new and exciting.
The third third is the downfall of the franchise, not worthy of the name.
The length of these “thirds” can vary but that’s the gist of it.
Oh, I remember that effect when a tetris game I programmed made some sounds I didn’t program into it. I assumed it had to do with poorly shielded cables
While having two words for blue because “they look different”
People seem to believe this so let me clarify:
Literally, “apple of [the] earth”. The word pomme used to mean “fruit” in Old French. The French construction originated, as calques, Dutch aardappel, Icelandic jarðepli, Persian سیبزمینی (sib-zamini), Modern Hebrew תפוח אדמה (tapúakh adamá), the rare English earthapple, German Erdapfel, etc.
In fact, apple was a catch all term for fruits in many languages from time to time, hence pineapple (originally meaning pinecone, later used for the exotic fruit because of similarity) or German Apfelsine (orange, literally apple from China), …
I don’t know if everyone gets the reference: RollerCoaster Tycoon is in fact writing mostly in assembly to use the hardware more efficiently
More often than not, both feel they won
Yesn’t.
E and Ä are basically the same sounds but you use the letter Ä to indicate that the root word has an A. Fähre is derived from fahren so it has Ä but it’s the same sound as the first E in Mercedes.
Yes, we often call them “long” and “short” E but the short E is actually halfway to A. It’s a different vowel even though it’s written the same. The last E is the vowel we often have in unstressed syllables like gekommen, same in English upon, about. We write it as E but it’s basically the most relaxed vowel possible.
Look at this vowel chart to see and hear the differences.
True, it’s a common female name, or was idk. Iirc the car is named after the daughter of the inventor. The German pronunciation is the butchered version of the Spanish first name so I’m on no moral high ground
It’s basically the three E sounds we have in German (short, long and “unstressed”) but I see that to the untrained ear, this isn’t obvious
It’s the same in German: /mɛʁˈt͡seːdəs/
Despite what other commentators say who are evil and eager to spread lies about the German language
“Man macht keine Witze über den Holocaust.”
“Oh, ich vergaß.”
That’s because you don’t know about those who don’t
I think ultimately, the effect is similar to this and have no longterm effect.
Also I was joking. Everyone who sees this news knows Disney. Still, I don’t think it will harm Disney substantial. Everyone knows it’s evil and consume their products anyway.
Think about it that way: how many people read this news who never heard anything about Disney before?
Star Wars started as a metaphor for the Vietnam war (with the US as the bad guys). In The Force has always been a lot of philosophy. Just because you didn’t get it as a kid, doesn’t mean it was silly.
And I say that as a trekkie who never really liked Star Wars but I see why people do and can appreciate it
