And exactly why Apple's push for Mac gaming (which still puts native ports as the ultimate goal and treats things like GPTK, despite having made it, only as "ways for developers to preview how the port would end up" and not intended for general consumer use) is never going to work, no matter how much cash they throw at it.

A major advantage of using modern game engines is the multiplatform support. This seems pretty weak on that front.

"Yoke" is pronounced like "yo K", not like the control wheel of an aircraft.

(Then again, seeing how nobody pronounces Pokémon as Pokémon, I guess striving for accurate pronunciation is a lost cause)

To be pedantic, two cameras were enough for the headset to track itself (eg. Lenovo Mirage Solo). The reason that headsets nowadays have 4 cameras is for it to also track the hand controllers that are being held by the user and being flung around nearby...which this also seems to lack.

Right - the fact that Emoji and Emoticons share the first 3 letters is a complete coincidence; The word Emoji is a portmanteau of the Japanese words É (絵; picture) and Moji (文字; letters).

How many "____, the Japanese ____ of ____" exist?

So, whatGate is the scandal's name this time?

As a Japanese native I'm torn on this. On one hand, respecting the local ordering & notation seems to be good manners. On the other hand, this creates an ambiguity where some people are writing Asian names in local notation and some others writing in western notation. (This is even true for Japanese people themselves, as mentioned in the other comments.)

At least things were consistent when everyone wrote them in western notation; now we can't be sure which part is the family name and which part is the given name, especially if it's from a country that you're not familiar with the order/notation rules. There's the "write the family name in all caps" rule to assist with it, but not everyone follows that rule either.

Gonna be eagerly waiting for the time when we can finally change our behavior at will, be it neural implants or nanomachines or whatever other method of direct intervention to the brain.

I can't be the only one who initially misread UAE as UAC.

Despite all the renovation, the newly installed 2023 toilets don't look that different from the ones it replaced.

Electronic bidet toilets should really be the norm by now. Sad that the expectations haven't changed.

Well, "never" is a strong enough word to extend even into science fiction land (or 100, 1000, 10000, 100000 years into the future and beyond). Hence the reaction you got.

I myself don't strongly agree nor disagree with the individual arguments -- I'm not knowledgeable enough on the subject to form an opinion either for or against -- but the point was rather on the very strong hostile emotions displayed by the people posting them. It's like the hatred comes first and the individual arguments are brought up afterwards to justify it. I'm wondering where and why such negative sentiments come up.
