Or the other way round. Xbox studios spins off BGS, which is then acquired by Sony as an independent studio. Literally the exact thing that happened to Bungie.

Ah. Thanks.

I don’t get it. Are those toppings controversial? What even are they? Pickles?

You mean Xbox mauve series XVX. Bethesda is a Microsoft property now. They’re an Xbox exclusive shop. Probably no more releases for PlayStation.

the cheevos, for one

US here. Never heard of swot, spod, or neek. So i definitely don’t think those are imports from here.

Isn’t “geek” originally a circus actor term? Like the strongman or bearded lady. The geek is the guy who bites the heads off birds and other gross stuff.

Did French circuses not include an act like that? What do they call him?

Of course even if they do have that act and there is a French word for it, that doesn’t mean that it evolved the same way in French to have the same anti-intellectual meaning

The central claim would be more persuasive if the evidence weren’t just “I typed it into google translate”. That is a very limited way to see what words a language has

Seems like your style of humor

These tumblrs just reply by repeating the same joke almost verbatim. Four times. Shades of r/yourjokebutworse

Sadly true. As a nose cutter I will say that I have found the transition from Twitter to mastodon far more painless than Reddit to lemmy

can you recommend a good instance with a no defederation policy?

It shows that Unix’s implementation of echo uses 10 lines of code, other *nixen use 60 to 100, and gnu uses 250. The implication being, I suppose, that GNU has such a high line of code count because it’s very verbose or padded

What is fetching

I thought it had to do with communities

What does it mean “fetching communities on my home instance”?

Bro it was just a chance to improve your grammar. It was offered in good faith. If you don’t want it that’s of course your prerogative. But there’s no need for rudeness and hostility.

Of course in going that route you’ve demonstrated an aspect of lemmy that may be an answer to your question.

I would like to invite you to increase your mastery of the English language by learning about all the tenses. With a judicious choice, (I would recommend a pluperfect progressive), you can avoid writing confusing and self-contradictory things like:

Lemmy’s number of active users has been decreasing for the last month. […] the number has been on an upward trend for the last 6 months

I think those two phrases mean the same thing

Seems fixed now
