credburn posted:I used to make derpy Flash animations in the 2000s, back when you had to e-mail a guy to get your cartoon on Newgrounds. I was 16. In a convoluted teenage-drama filled adventure, I, an American kid traveled to Australia to meet my Internet girlfriend and was briefly engaged to her. Her father was going to hire me as some kind of specialty thing that would greatly help if not basically grant me citizenship in my new country. Until he brought me to his job, sat me down with a guy, gave us a task involving making an interactive activity for his business website, and thus discovered I knew gently caress-all about Flash but I guess was pretty good at hiding my ineptitude behind elaborate motion tweens. Even the guy whose job was to make poo poo in Flash for a living thought I must know what I was doing. This was every IT/web workers origin story around the millenium. Pretend you know what you are doing and hope you don't get caught before you actually learn. These days it's a bit harder sadly.

But any free form comment sections just end up with the same jokes and puns on top every time thanks to the voting.

Minor nerd pet peeve. I hate how GIF now means any short video. Why can't people just call them MP4 because that's what they all are. Imgur even disguises them with a gifv extension and people start thinking that's an actual file format. It's really rare to see an actual animated gif anymore because the format sucks for modern needs. And if you upload a still GIF to many services (like Discord) it is tagged with a GIF symbol as if it was a video.

And they usually are. But sometimes they aren't and I'm like, what the gently caress why are you named Shepherd then I'm glad Shepard in Mass Effect was just a reference to Alan Shepard and not a Jesus analogy. It's just a coincidence that Shepard died and was resurrected by the Lazarus Project and sacrificed themself for all people in the galaxy in the end.

Silver Falcon posted:Ya know thanks to this whole conversation, today I had a go at paying attention to which cardinal direction I'm going on my way to work. When I'm biking I tend to use the sun/shadows to keep track of my direction. Sun is behind you? You're going north. Sun is on your left? You're going west. And depending on the time of day you adjust for the sun's position. Simple, primitive, and works well unless it's an overcast day.

credburn posted:It's interesting you use the example of fiancé, as that word in my head rhymes with how I expect Beyoncé to sound. Which then got me thinking, wait am I even pronouncing fiancé correctly? And that led me to the Cambridge dictionary which says fiancé is pronounced differently in the US and the UK, the US version being how I would pronounce it (and how I would pronounce Beyoncé if I had never heard the name) but that's actually the inverse of the US/UK pronunciation example on the website. You of course pronounce it like "finance" but without the first N. Because you don't want sound like some frenchman!

Iron Crowned posted:Weezer's existence is a pet peeve of mine. Weezer's cover versions took all joy from the band for me. They just try to imitate the song as closely as possible. They never add anything of their own to the version. That's pretty uncreative for a band on their level. Like the Metallica Blacklist album last year. There were some very interesting versions of their songs. And then Weezer just playing Enter Sandman identically to the original.

A lot of people seemed to have forgotten that image manipulation existed before deep fake or AI. Like if there is some photo where someones face has been replaced with another person, someone will comment "that's not real, that AI." It's pedantic, but it just feels like people assume humanity is so helpless that nothing is possible without a filter in an app or an AI tool.

Like you ask a question and you get some idiot who has a "OmniCorp enthusiast" tag on their profile and they paste some totally irrelevant copypasta while using vague corporate language. Then some actual real person replies and gives a helpful answer. Why would anyone LARP as CS? I get that some people enjoy helping but these people always talk in that CS manner and only answer in preset form. You are acting like a fool with zero benefit for anyone.

SonOfGhostDad posted:it really annoys me when people say or list on menus "with au jus." "au jus" means "with juice!" stop it! this is the close cousin of "ATM machine," the brother of "PIN number," "SSN number," and "VIN number." My language has a loop hole. We call it "PIN code" so it's a bit unnecessary but at least not repetitive. But it is a bit awkward to say just "PIN" it sounds nicer with the "number".
