  • And you’re saying that Steam isn’t the one doing the filtering. It’s based on the community to police Steam. While Steam happily profits from AI slop.

    This isn’t a complicated issue here unc.

    I know you’ve probably grown up with physical discs because Steam’s monopoly killed that off.

    But you are allowed to call out Lord GabeN for that.















  • There is a pun here. Just not the onomatopoeia story. I’ve done some digging.

    In Japanese it is called Marunomi no hi, 丸呑みの日. Swallowing whole day.

    Maru 丸 means circle.

    Nomi 呑み means drink.

    But Nomi written as のみ. means only.

    So 丸のみ. Could be read as “only circle”

    Japan uses western numbers particularly for dates.

    So the pun is that the day can be interrupted as Only Circles. And falls on a date made only of circles.

    And also probably the ate-ate pun. I don’t think it’s a particularly big stretch to assume someone in Japan would have either heard the pun or came up with it themselves.

    Numbers are a basic thing to learn when doing languages. Ate, is a basic word that would be taught to someone. The Japanese love their puns and wordplay.




  • used to say you have read or been told something although you are not certain it is true:

    Apparently it’s going to rain today.

    Apparently he’s had enough of England and is going back to Australia.

    used when the real situation is different from what you thought it was:

    You know I told you Alice’s party was on the 13th? Well I saw her last night and apparently it’s on the 14th.

    She looks about ten, but apparently she’s 10.

    I thought they were married but apparently not (= they are not married).

    Do you not see the difference?

    Starting the sentence with “Apparently” is you casting doubt over the proceeding information.

    Using it mid sentence after giving information as a correction would meet the definition you cherry picked. Which would mean you do know about the Sony deal.

    But who am I to try and correct and Yankee, clearly you lot are the absolute authority on everything. And it’s my fault for not instantly understanding what you meant (despite it following zero established rules)
