This is rich, maybe Miyazaki just has different judgment than me but Dark Souls is one of the grossest and gloomiest games I've played due to the immediate application of gross-out body horror.

[0] is the Asylum Demon, which is literally the first boss in Dark Souls.

Bloodborne cranks the gross-out factor up to 11 with [1] and [2].

I used to call, but between connection noise, having to give a name, accents, background sounds, them being in a rush, etc. we don't even understand each other. That's why I use apps.

It's been at least a decade since I've not used an autoformatter on every piece of code ever. I didn't realize there were people who worked at places without autoformatters still.

I wonder why they used QuickJS instead of a faster engine like V8 or JSC?

I first learned about the Great Auk due to it being used as the mascot for the Knowledge Master Open (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_Master_Open) which my class participated in during elementary/middle school.

Pedantry alert: As Elo ratings are named after a person, they shouldn't be fully capitalized, as they are not acronyms.

eawoifjaiowepfj | 4 years ago | on: Googlespeak – How Google limits thought about antitrust

> discovery process for lawsuits will find your carelessly written email and opposing lawyers will take it out of context

I don't work for Google or have much of an opinion on "Googlespeak".

However, that the practice of law is allowed to exist in its current state is an indictment on our society. The legal profession is one that polices itself, has no proper oversight (judges are just lawyers with a more refined superiority complex), raises barriers to entry with a level of zeal only matched by medicine (to which it is not actually comparable), and is also allowed to maliciously and limitlessly wield this power over the people who do real work is a foundational problem with governmental design.
