Seriously, it's like nobody in this thread even read the seminal paper, "Scrimbling Considered Harmful".

Is that…Bowsette?

I know it can't be, since the character didn't exist when this was made, but it's interesting that her costume looks at least as much like Bowsette's (and not at all like Peach's or Pauline's) as his looks like Mario's.

Hmm. Suppose you were building a nuclear locomotive. (Setting aside, for the moment, whether this is a good idea.) Would nuke→turbine→electricity→motor be more efficient than just using the rotation of the turbine to move the train?

It can't be, right?

I haven't.

The Matchless Kungfu certainly looks like Wuxia Kenshi, but I haven't actually gotten around to trying it.

I had fun with it. Can be a bit slow and grindy, as forming a build involves finding the right (randomly generated, periodically refreshed) techniques and studying them. And there's a big power jump in each area so this process has to be repeated regularly.

I initially got into it when looking for something like Wandering Sword, but as a M&B- or Kenshi-style open world, which it's not exactly that.

Tale of Immortal [...] doesn’t even work if you don’t have your system set to Chinese

I've played it (in English, on a US-English Windows install) and I don't remember having to do anything like that.

given that several Gaiman projects (like Amazon’s Good Omens) have been cut short

What a weird example, given that Good Omens ran out of source material in season 1.

Well shit, I've been launching Epic through Lutris. Guess it's time for me to check out Heroic.

It's funny, I frequently find myself configuring native Linux games I legitimately own to instead run the windows version through Proton.

…I'm sorry that that's pretty much the exact opposite of an answer to your question.

The pints thing actually has the same cause as I was talking about above: The British standardized around the Elizabethan ale gallon, while America used the Queen Anne wine gallon.

The long (British) and short (American) ton are both 20 hundredweights. The American hundredweight is exactly 100 pounds, while the British hundredweight is 112. You tell me which of those is more reasonable.

That said, both units did, in fact, come from Britain. The old Imperial system often used the same name for different units depending on what was being measured and for what purpose. Both countries passed laws to simplify and consolidate these measurements in the early 19th century, but in many cases chose different versions to standardize on.

Most literal use of 'ad hominem'.
