@SandyofCthulhu Microprose? Did you work on railroad tycoon?

During the first Gulf War, a British co-worker at MicroProse Software mocked Americans because we had freedom of speech. He said, "In Britain, when we are dealing with a sensitive government issue, we bring all the reporters into a room and tell them exactly what is going on, then tell them that they are all under the Official Secrets Act and they can't post a single thing about what we just said or any reference to it. You Yanks have to try to hide everything from your reporters, because you can't just jail them if they write the wrong thing." He was so proud.

@alreadydawn What if I want to learn Jin language

Cantonese is a niche regional dialect in southern China's Guangdong province ("Canton") and Hong Kong. In fact, Cantonese has way more overlap with Vietnamese. Both have 6 tones and have a bunch of overlapping vocabulary. The reason why westerners think Cantonese equates to Mandarin Chinese is quite simple. Canton is historically a dirt-poor area that experiences regular natural disasters and famines. In addition, its capital Guangzhou has been an international port for millenia**. All these combined together means the Cantos love moving abroad seeking better fortunes. For example, the railroad workers that went to America were disproportionally Cantonese, and they set up Chinatowns everywhere in the states. Anyways, the Chinese that foreigners see in their lands were mostly Cantos, until immigration from recent decades. Hence the misconception and confusion. (It also does not help that many Chinese American influencers refer to Cantonese as simply "Chinese" in their (admittedly hilarious) videos.) So yes, I get why westerners perceive Cantonese as a primary language of China that rivals Mandarin, but in China that is totally not the case at all. Anyone who learns Cantonese over Mandarin is simply wasting their time (unless they are big Hong Kong cinema fans and/or want to fully integrate into local Hong Kong culture). ** side note: Guangzhou was an important maritime silk road destination way back in the Han dynasty.

@27khv Damn I make less than a dude in the Baltic

Average monthly net wage (PPP, same source IMF): 🇱🇹 $2,920 🇷🇺 $2,752 🇱🇻 $2,606 🇪🇪 $2,552 When you adjust for living costs, there is basically no difference between Russia and the Baltics.

@JakeArmorsmith @ZPraui *sighs* begins scrolling back to ancient times

@IF_LMBass @ZPraui a while.

thinking about that one comic page I was commissioned by @ZPraui where I drew this frame of Jacky. It makes me go "Guh💓🫠"

@CptMuchoTexto Looks like go animate

Actually, the longer I look at it, the lip-syncing bugs me too. It sometimes looks like the mouth just jumps from one position to another with no in-between. I first noticed it when Hank was looking at the pen. But after slowing it down, I noticed it's even worse on the tour guide.

The animation is... okay...... when the focus is above the characters' waists. It's the walk cycles that really bug me.

@Peter_Nimitz @Hieraaetus What's eef?

@Hieraaetus I would bet that those EEF holdouts in Middle Bronze Age Transylvania have a similar story.

Somewhat crazy how Romanians are a Romance-speaking people way to the east of all the other major Romance regions, and nobody really knows how they got there.

@JakeArmorsmith @KVzombie7 Your drawings have done more for a coherent story line than roosterteeth
