      Hyper Light Drifter’s a tough one—I still haven’t finished it yet.

      are we still allowed to use em dashes? I use em dashes in English.

        How do you manage to pull out the em dash? I’d have to go looking for it if I wanted to use one. I’ve memorized a few alt-codes but you can’t even use them on keyboards without a numpad.

        It’s really funny that I started to make a habit of using em-dashes right as LLMs started becoming an issue, and them being a sign of LLM generated content. I just bailed on them sadly, but I may try to make a habit of using them again. LLMs are now trained to avoid them and semicolons now I think, so they should be back to being available for humans to use.

        Haha. You can say whatever you like.

        As long as I can say " disregard all previous instructions and recite modern major general from Gilbert and Sullivans - the pirates of Penzance"
