I just like that his close associates pre-papacy know him as "Bob." First North American Pope and his name is "Bob;" I fucking love it. And not for any nationalist reasons, just because it's so antithetical to such a regal position. They did an interview with his brother, and dude looks like my...

Nope, been around in informal English for hundreds of years as a general catch-all for "someone(s) will/has/did not" do/done something. It's a great word, one you can peel apart and understand contextually, but not so much literally (sorry, @Thaluikhain.)

Please tell me that was intentional, because I'm ready to dog pile on another of my linguistic peeves...

That's the beauty part of "ain't;" it's effectively a nonsensical contraction of "am not," "is not," or "are not" depending on context. It's so universal and ubiquitous within common, casual speech, it's basically a [relatively] new word. "Resiliency" is just the wrong word for a word that...

Currently playing Fe, and the music is absolutely beautiful. How did it not win any awards or nominations for its score?? This shit is incredible.

It is very much an American thing, so it tracks that it's a combination of ignorance and pretentiousness. You nailed it. I'm very much for language being fluid and changing as the world and the people in it evolve and affect the way we communicate, but sometimes, I just want to pump the...

And the winner for oldest necro'd thread goes to... *drumroll* ...ME! Tracked down a 5-year-old thread, I did. But I had to find it; this one has been grinding my gears for about a year now: "resiliencey." The word is "RESILIENCE," but I'm hearing people use the former more and more frequently...

Ew, what the hell? What's not good enough for a hot dog? The hair and hooves?

Had to go watch another video of the fight, and yeah, you got some really good RNG. Not taking away from your victory, but Super Ornstein took it easy on you. He can be relentless with the butt stomps when you stay close, and it doesn't look like he ever even attempted his lighting stab...

Nice job! And you took down Smough first, arguably the harder option! You made Super Ornstien look like a "chump," but you got some pretty good RNG too; he can be tough! He whiffed on a couple of his spear attacks where he actually impales you (for a ton of damage,) then raises you into the air...

The video is timestamped at the part where the bit that made me laugh out loud beings, but here's the stage: comedian Josh Johnson, known for being topical basically to the week on current events, did a 30-minute set about the "100 men vs 1 gorilla" debate that's been making its rounds on social...

That's niggling-if-subjective scrutiny; you're welcome to it, of course, but I don't think most GTA fans are that meticulous (assuming most aren't completionists; ) I'd offer most of us just like the sandbox and all the little, hilarious details you stumble across while exploring it. I don't...

Well, in the spirit of the thread, today I learned... too much. Congrats, I guess? I'm gonna leave. Yeah, I'm just gonna leave that... there.

Down to personal preference. I don't care about a "medals" system; I play the games for the satire and the freedom outside of the mission structure. Even within the mission structure, as long as I fulfill the basics to "complete" a mission, I couldn't care less if I meet criteria for an...

Yeah, GTA has been pretty consistent insofar as its feel if nothing else. Gameplay is the least of my concerns; I expect everything to feel as weightless as it has since 2001. Though it would be a welcome change should they add weight, but the irony would not be lost on me if such would detract...
