@pepsi_man @Hoss my favorite was always "your college teachers are going to be much harder on you" then you get to college and the professors are just like, who gives a fuck as long as you pass the class

@Tsuki @Hoss this whole sub is a goldmine.

@LukeAlmighty I don't think it's laziness. A lot of games come in a shit ton of languages already. Czech is a pretty niche language, so it's more like it's not worth the trouble. English, Chinese, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Russian are usually the big ones, sometimes you get some others thrown in there like Ukrainian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, or Japanese. Especially lately.

Game devs don't know how to properly deliver and compress all of this though so it really bloats the file size. It is very common for repacks to omit them unless you want them to make the file size smaller.

Part of it is just that so many people in your country speak other, more popular languages as well. You're not going to find many games translated even to something like Swedish because a lot of those people either speak German or English too, at least enough to play the game. It's not just about paying Czech voice actors or something but also hiring translators, audio production staff that understands the language, not to mention the extra work that needs to happen which will extend development time.

I wouldn't use any type of automated translation for my games honestly, because the truth is that I wouldn't know exactly what was being conveyed and I don't want that low quality association. That's something that modders should have the ability to do though for sure, you expect a lot more rough edges from a mod.

@Pawlicker makes total sense. i've never actually seen a scooter locked up anywhere now that i think about it.

some people are making a good point about locking up scooters. it's not just about locking it up, it's also about them being vandalized. nobody really gives a shit or second glance at bikes but a scooter being locked up does kind of seem like it's just begging for someone to break something on it, intentionally or unintentionally.

might just forgo the lock and wheel it around inside stores with me. or worst case, leave it in the store at the front. a lot of people actually do that where i work with their scooters, they'll leave it inside near the door.

this is something i didn't think about when buying it honestly and it sort of freaks me out that technically, someone could just take it even i did get a good lock for it. or just forget about stealing it, people could just like fuck around with it. i'd rather walk it around with me even if it would be a massive inconvenience.

@LukeAlmighty ooooooooffff

@kvit i've considered audio books but i wouldn't be able to pay attention to it if i'm doing something else. i'm horrible at multi-tasking. i've always got stuff like streams on in the background but i don't pay a whole heck of a lot of attention to them for the most part.

@LukeAlmighty >serbia

there are a lot of books that seem really interesting to read, but man i really am just not a reader. i tried to get into house of leaves most recently and only got a little bit into it... i only read it while my pizza was cooking half a dozen times.

i used to read a LOT when i was a kid too. i was an avid reader. i had read the entire harry potter series before i was 12 and now i can't fathom reading that much. i don't know, i can't help thinking while I'm reading that there are a lot more fun or productive things i could be doing.

the last time i seriously sat down and read a book was the hunger games, back in like 2012. i read it in two days because i got hooked. everything else though, i'll end up thinking "oh man this story premise is really cool!" and then only get a few chapters in before i forget about it.

@Mr_NutterButter this movie. might ring a bell. although it seems like you're a few years younger than me so maybe you don't remember it even coming out.

i don't really know too much about it, just that it's anti-religion and religious people tend to think it's evil or something. but, being anti-religion myself, i do wonder if i'll like it. maybe i'll watch it and report back.

it's adapted from a book series, the writer is an atheist, and from what i can find it's like the yin to chronicles of narnia's yang.
