up Final Fantasy VIII is painfully stupid By www.finalfantasywhatever.com Published On :: 2020-02-11T05:17:55-08:00 Когда я начал свои летсплеи с комментариями для бложика летом 2012-го, у меня к ним был совсем другой подход: я исходил из того, что все читающие, как и я, знают эти игры наизусть, и старался больше шутить о происходящем. За смехуёчками как-то затёрлось то, насколько невыносимо ТУПАЯ вся фф8.Сегодня фф8 исполняется 21 год. В Америке она смогла бы купить себе алкоголь - может, после трех-четырех стаканов виски её прохождение не казалось бы настолько мучительным.Одна из ключевых проблем сценария фф8 - повсеместное отсутствие логики в происходящем. У хорошего сценариста каждое событие имеет предпосылки и последствия, причинно-следственная связь не рушится, а персонажи делают те или иные вещи в соответствии со своими чертами характера и условиями, в которые они поставлены.фф8 рушится к хуям уже НА ПЕРВОЙ РЕПЛИКЕ. Я убеждён, что это рекорд. Самая первая фраза, произнесённая в игре, уже полностью бессмысленна. Проблема только в том, что понять это можно, лишь пройдя игру как минимум наполовину.Давайте я объясню.-Эллон должна находиться под защитой белых сидов на тайном корабле. Она почему-то появляется в Гардене, и этому нет никакого объяснения. Белых сидов рядом с ней нет.-Эллон видит своего братика Скволла впервые за долгие годы. Вместо того, чтобы его, например, обнять и расспросить о жизни, она через стекло кудахчет "ебать мы увиделись" и УХОДИТ.-Эллон буквально на следующий же день начнёт ебать Скволлу мозг воспоминаниями из жизни Лагуны. Она могла бы сейчас хотя бы предупредить его об этом, объяснить свой план. Ей ничего не мешало поговорить с центральным персонажем её же кейкаку, но нет.Это первый пример из очень многих.Ифрит словно из другой игры вообще. Такая пещера с таким боссом была бы уместна в условной фф5. Там герои шароёбятся по всему миру, находят данж, влезают, видят огненного духа, призывают против него Шиву, он такой - "Ух ты бля, у вас Шива есть, неплохо, смертные!"Но в фф8 Шиву герой высасывает из своей парты. А пещера - это пришкольный участок, куда детишки бегают регулярно на треньку. Ифрит там что, респаунится? И каждый раз удивляется силе людей?Ифрит ведь - не просто монстр какой. Это NPC с репликами. И это вступает в прямое противоречие с обстоятельствами, которые к нему подводят.Просто очень хороший скриншот файнал фентези восемь.Дальше » Full Article

up Of Course It's The Pandemic, Stupid! By crooksandliars.com Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 15:00:01 +0000 In 1992, Bill Clinton’s campaign manager James Carville came up with one of the most famous campaign slogans in history when he pinned a note to the bulletin board of the campaign headquarters that said “It’s the economy, stupid.” There was a lot of stuff going on at the time, the tail end of the first Gulf War, the Rodney King Riots, Ross Perot’s quixotic campaign among other things. But we were in a recession that wasn’t particularly deep but it seemed to be hitting certain people very hard. Carville understood that everything flowed from being able to address that problem. It seems that the Trump administration thinks that slogan applies to their circumstance. And it is true that the record high unemployment claims and the small business crisis is as acute as anything we’ve ever seen. They believe they can just “open the country” and everything will fall into place as people just go back to normal, maybe with a few adjustments and people over 60 staying inside their houses for the foreseeable future. But, as always, they are missing the point. This piece in The Atlantic explains why:read more Full Article covid-19 Donald Trump economy pandemic

They wear gloves, masks, and gowns. That's especially true these days. Source: Reuters LONDON (Reuters) - A young boy chooses a nurse as the superhero he wants to play with over Batman and Spiderman in a new artwork by Banksy that encapsulates the gratitude Britons have felt toward the country’s National Health Service during the coronavirus crisis. The painting by the secretive street artist was unveiled at University Hospital Southampton, in south England, on Wednesday. An image of the work was also posted on Banksy’s Instagram page with the caption “Game Changer”. Hospital chief executive Paula Head said: “So proud to reveal this amazing piece of art ‘Painting for Saints’, created by #Banksy as a thank you to all those who work with and for the NHS and our hospital.” “An inspirational backdrop to pause and reflect in these unprecedented times,” she added on Twitter.

up on the up and up By separatedbyacommonlanguage.blogspot.com Published On :: Sat, 18 Apr 2020 11:57:00 +0000 Thomas West recently asked:AmE/BrE difference of the day: "on the up and up" means "above board, not underhanded" in AmE but appears to mean "rising, on the rise, moving upward" in BrE. Is that right? @lynneguist— Thomas West (@IntermarkLS) April 16, 2020I hadn't really noticed this before, but it looks like it's probably a case of an American phrase coming to Britain and being re-interpreted (which happens now and again—I talk about a few other cases in The Prodigal Tongue and elsewhere on this blog).The expression originated in AmE in or before the 1860s. It is often hyphenated: on the up-and-up. The OED entry for it starts:a. Honest(ly), straightforward(ly), ‘on the level’. Originally and chiefly U.S.1863 Humboldt Reg. (Unionville, Nevada) 4 July 2/1 Now that would be business, on the dead up-and-up. But then it continues with a second definition that it does not mark as U.S.: b. Steadily rising, improving, or increasing; prospering, successful.1930 Sun (Baltimore) 18 Aug. 6/1 From now on, we are led to believe, law and order will be on the up and up, as the current phrase is.1937 G. Heyer They found him Dead xiii. 265 He certainly wasn't on the up-and-up when I knew him. He was picking up a living doing odd jobs for any firm that would use him.1959 Encounter Oct. 25/2 Private travel is on the up and up.Just the first example in sense b is from an American source—but I really can't tell why they think that either of the first two examples has sense b and not sense a. I would have thought that the first one is saying that the police are going to be less corrupt or disorgani{s/z}ed, and, in the second, I would think that they were saying that he was taking money under the table. But you can see how the two senses can overlap and therefore sense a could morph into sense b, which it definitely has done by the 1959 example.Sense b comes 50 or 60 years after the first sense, during a time when the UK is getting a lot more exposure to AmE, so it does seem reasonable to think that the phrase came from the US and changed in the UK. The data from Google Books also seem to support this hypothesis: The b sense is definitely the primary sense in BrE. The (UK-based) Collins COBUILD Idiom Dictionary marks sense a as American but not sense b, and the BBC World Service's Learning English pages give only the 'successful' meaning in their list of up idioms:To be on the up and up: to be getting increasingly successful.Example:His life has been on the up and up since he published his first book. Now, he's making a film in Hollywood. One of the sources on freedictionary.com explicitly marks the b sense as British:But all that said, a few commenters on Thomas's original post seem to be Americans saying that they use the 'successful' sense. (I suspect they are younger Americans.) As we've seen above, it's not always clear which one people mean. Looking at a sample in the Corpus of Contemporary American English, though, the sense a meaning predominates:Click picture to enlargeSome of the BrE speakers responding to Thomas said that they assumed that on the up and up is an extension of a phrase on the up, meaning 'rising, being successful'. The OED doesn't record that, but there are plenty of examples in the Corpus of Global Web-Based English. (I searched for them followed by a (BrE) full stop/(AmE) period, so that I could be sure there wasn't another and up after the first up.)The examples in this data are often along the lines of "the numbers of X are on the up", so they are clearly about rising numbers and (by extension, often) success.Now, there is no expression on the down to mean 'decreasing' and the OED hadn't yet noticed the on the up expression, so I have to wonder whether the phrase on the up and up came from the US, got reinterpred in BrE, and then got shortened to on the up (rather than the latter being expanded from the former). It's harder to get information for on the up in a place like Google Books, because one can't do the punctuation trick and rule out all the examples like on the up grade or on the up line. I had a quick look at the Hansard corpus, the record of UK Parliamentary speech, as that gives a more reasonable amount of data to comb through. None of the examples of on the up before the first appearance of on the up and up (1946) are on the up to mean 'improving'—they are all on the up [noun], using up as a modifier for the noun. The 1946 Hansard example of up and up is used to mean 'growing, successful' (the b sense), as are the subsequent examples (33 of them). The first example of on the up in that meaning is in 1978. So, that is making it look like the phrase was cut rather than expanded in BrE.Thanks to Thomas for pointing this one out! And thanks to Jan Freeman and Ben Yagoda for noticing it earlier. I'd forgotten about Ben's post here. Full Article adverbs Americanization Britishization idioms prepositions
