I remember the Halo x Bonobo incident very clearly, the higher ups of that company are incredibly socially incompetent at best

Listen, my client is not a pedophile.

He may be morally dubious, he may have committed manslaughter, he may have bribed the supreme court a few times, he may be a pedophile, but at least DOW is over 50000.

I’m not American, I’m American

Assuming you meant “specifically not from the USA” instead of the second “American”, with that being a typo (feel free to clarify)…

[N]o one living in the greater North or South Americas would say the above while speaking English.

… I loosely mentioned US exceptionalism, but I didn’t know American Continent exceptionalism was even a thing - with the benefit of the doubt, I still don’t.

“Statiunitense” is an Italian word that I first learned in a formal setting as an adult (18+) from a Fineco [finecobank.com] employee, which loosely implies that it’s an appropriate way to refer to something from / belonging_to the USA in a small fraction of the geopolitical landscape…

insisting on the former feels like textbook UnitedStatesOfAmerican exceptionalism.

… hence my previous comment. It is possible to perform grievous acts of TheLandOfTheFree Exceptionalism without living in the Land Of The Free *, mind you.

“Usian” (USian, wgaf about capitalization) is as valid of a word as “Japan” is, refering to 日本 (pronounced “Nippon” - [source]):
some languages have words that semantically refer to YOUR interpretation of “American”, WHILE having different single-word equivalents to what you would say when refering to either the North American continent or the South American Continent.

… with the latter two occasionally known as, y’know, “America”.

Why bother differentiating between “American but not outside the jurisdiction of the United States of America” and “Either South American or North American, regardless of affiliation to the United States Of America”, when you can just either say “American” OR “Usian”?

* 60 seconds later edit:
For many non-adult, probably autisticly coded years I looked up to the USA as a cool nation. I am no exception to Super Earth exceptionalism.

That’s the case in the English language, where “Usian” is usually interpreted as a derogative adjective, but how else would you translate “[IT] statunitense” as opposed to “[IT] americano”?
I’m pretty sure the Spanish language has something similar to the Italian word, and I suspect that’s true for some other romance languages.

I myself use “American” instead of “Usian”, because the latter feels… artificial, but at the same time insisting on the former feels like textbook UnitedStatesOfAmerican exceptionalism.

It becomes apparent if you stop using Windows for a few years, when you get on it again the quirks hit back with the power of a thousand suns

While I agree², their use of “steal” makes sense in the analogy because the apple doesn’t belong to the “thief”; besides, you can’t pirate an apple

How the hell did Pink get 5000 friendly fire damage against the team?!

Skill issue, I get something above 10000 occasionally >:D

Hellbombs are often the culprit, they do that kind of damage and can send those numbers up quickly even with the helldivers’ explosion damage resistance.
It only takes one.

Building not. Try building a nice house, but when you try to place blocks you get a burb of tiny blocks being strewn all over.

… so Vintage Story doesn’t exist, and neither does its axis-aligned voxel placement when chiseling?

Terraria is a completely different game

You can still build things in it, I don’t see how that’s relevant to the topic of 1m blocks being a hard requirement.

Also, for a 2D game, halving the block size means you quadruple the amount of blocks. For a 3D game it’s 8x.

You don’t need to divide voxels by powers of two, Terraria and Starbound have roughly 2x3 player hitboxes - which would translate to 2x3x2 hitboxes in 3D spaces.

[…] Or an RTS where units can freely move in 3D

Homeworld fans, back me up

You could also do a voxel game where mining and building is not extremely fiddly and nothing is much more laboursome than with 1m blocks.

Terraria, Starbound and many other similar games manage to do it in 2D by making you mine more than one block at a time, what makes it impossible in 3D spaces?

Even better, when the hardware gets too hot windows explode on their own!

Selaco, hands down
