Well the way some Londoners say oval office is more like "cant", so it still fits. Actually, I see what you're saying. It's getting late and I'm a daft twat. But yeah, see below.

Also, rhyming slang being a "cockney" thing is a very recent development, it's not actually as unique to London as they'd like people to believe. :ssh:

e: what I'm trying to say is maybe the evolution from Berkshire Hunt to berk happened oop north.

edit edit: actually no, we say "bark" up here too. That is loving weird. What a total headfuck before I go to bed.

My favourite thing about cockney is this:

I was registered in a small forum. I was still a J4G when we were raided by citizens. Foreign citizens. Torn from my shitposts I was made to post their language. With each new post, my backers changed along with the paarps they made me speak. With each paarp, I paarped, too. My thoughts, personality, how I saw right and wrong. Words. Can. Shill.

I'm about to go to bed and I have the feeling this post is going to give me Lynch-ian dreams. :catdrugs:

on the topic of language, I just wanted to remind folks that B'TAK earnestly suggested that CIG make a translator that could instantly translate, on the fly, between the 230 nations represented in SC backers. Not translate like google or whatever, not text, speech. instantly translate SPEECH


dude wanted a universal translator from star trek, and thought CIG was in the position to deliver what would probably be one of the most important inventions in human history for their game :)

it would not even be the much of a stretch for cig to make this. consider the rapid advances in technology we have seen in computerized translation in the last 20 years, well as you know technology improves exponentially so within 2 years we will see a universal translator that can interpret in real time all 6,000 known human languages. stuff like this is one of the reasons i use most of the money i make selling diet pills over the phone to support CIG, i believe chris roberts will make the world a better place and star citizen will have us on Mars by 2023

let's consider the advanced AI not walking into each other but instead bugging out in the corner technology we have already seen glimpses of, this is going to change the game in terms of computerized intelligence and is just ONE example of the cutting edge work happening at CIG

The combined wealth of knowledge available here to quickly and efficiently call CIG on their latest bullshit is astounding. Within 12 hours of the garage door lie being posted (and multiple thread details) we had the make and model and an estimated price. Bravo, folks.

Why make a themed office. why. just make a good game. by now they could've made a prototype open alpha of a single limited area space combat arena and tested the poo poo out of their controls and fun factor by now. come the gently caress on.

like, I think something like that can be made at the same cost as making your elevator doors look like a spaceship like an 11 year old. Think about it, like make a single sphere with ships in it and get the community to test it out, you don't even need to make the interiors just make the ships controllable with UI to test what's the best UI setup for their fighters.
