As someone whose real life starter was French.

You should be gosh dang proud of yourself if it ain't your first language & yet you can still understand someone speaking/writting it...more or less well.

I just took a 101 class a few years ago so I'm surprised I can still understand a few sentences. For example:

Oui Oui Baguettes

Someone has a crush.

It's Omelette Au Fromage, actually.

Yeah, that's the correct way to say it.

The memes one replace Au with Du.

Sound like me but with English. At least way back then, now i'm much better.

Honestly still a bit of a miracle I'm so good at it. Especially since I completely failed to learn Deutsch.

Ah, c'est un mystère, mon ami.

Selon toutes les lois connues de l'aviation, il n'y a aucun moyen qu'une abeille puisse voler. Ses ailes sont trop petites pour faire décoller son petit corps gras. L'abeille, bien sûr, vole de toute façon parce que les abeilles ne se soucient pas de ce que les humains pensent être impossible. Jaune, noir. Jaune, noir. Jaune, noir. Jaune, noir. Oh, noir et jaune ! Secouons un peu. Barry ! Le petit déjeuner est prêt! Ooming ! Attends une seconde. Bonjour? - Barry ? - Adam ? - Oan, tu crois que c'est en train d'arriver ? - Je ne peux pas. Je te récupérerai. Regarder précisément. Utilisez les escaliers. Ton père a payé cher pour ça. Désolé. Je suis surexcité. Voici le diplômé. Nous sommes très fiers de toi, fils. Un bulletin parfait, tous des B. Très fier. Maman ! J'ai un truc qui se passe ici. - Vous avez des peluches sur votre duvet. - Aïe ! C'est moi! - Faites-nous signe ! Nous serons dans la rangée 118 000. - Au revoir! Barry, je te l'ai dit, arrête de voler dans la maison ! - Salut, Adam. - Salut, Barry. - C'est du gel de duvet ? - Un peu. Journée spéciale, remise des diplômes. Je n'aurais jamais pensé y arriver. Trois jours à l'école primaire, trois jours au lycée. C'était gênant. Collège de trois jours. Je suis content d'avoir pris une journée et d'avoir fait du stop autour de la ruche. Tu es revenu différent. - Salut, Barry. - Artie, se laisser pousser la moustache ? Cela semble bon. - Tu entends parler de Frankie ? - Oui. - Tu vas à l'enterrement ? - Non, je n'y vais pas.

I just got a Youtube ad that sounded like it was in French.

This is your fault, Metal Shop X and TheMightyP .

Lmao the page is telling me to translate from French

Nah, pal

I just got a Youtube ad that sounded like it was in French.

This is your fault, Metal Shop X and TheMightyP .

You're in this hell with me.

 

[Pokelego999]

This translate is not broken at all

 

[osby]

I'll say this, French vern inflections are hell.

But at least you can tell how a word is pronounced by reading it, which is more than I can say for English.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Engrish is much easier anyway.

Isn't that right, Fawful?





Oh wait, he is dead, nevermind.

Ok people, I'm gonna do something which I am genuiely surprised It took me so long to finally talk about: I'm gonna give my answer to the eternal question of "AM2R or Samus Returns?" which has been making the rounds around the Metroid fandom for quite some years already.

And to answer that question, this post will be divided in various parts to make my answer as clear as water.
So yeah, let's do this:

Spoiler: Part 1: What is an AM2R and what is a Samus Returns?

Before getting deep into It, I really find It important to first take a general look at both of these games on their own.

AM2R is a fan-remake of the classic game Metroid 2, mostly created with the help of DrM64 and with the help of other Metroid fans. The game was released as a means to celebrate the anniversary of the franchise at that time, and as such the Game is filled with loads of references and connections to other official titles in the franchise for the player to find

And that's honestly the name of the game for this one: while AM2R does have the usual alternate endings depending on how fast you beat It, the Game does reward the player way more for exploring the whole of SR388 in-depth. Additions such as the log which constantly updates as you keep doing findings around the Planet and new powerups make It so the player constantly gets motivated to look for everything It has to offer. All in a really incredible Sprite-work.
So in short: AM2R is an incredibly-looking pixel game which rewards the player for exploring all It has.

Samus Returns is also a remake of the classic Metroid 2, this one was developed by Mercury Steam (known from some of the last Castlevania titles to be released) and was released a year after AM2R.

The game is done in a 2.5D style, with really impressive 3D graphics and sound design for the 3DS.
The Game has some new additions too but most of them involve with something in specific: the action.
This game really rewards the player for going non-stop and getting rid of everything you see in front of you. Battles have been redone to also be more cinematic, giving the player a sense of excitement and motivations to keep looking for more things to fight.
In short: Samus Returns is a really well looking 2.5D title which does push the player into being fast and effective against any danger presented.

Spoiler: Part 2: a situation which will become relevant

Now that we have taken a quick reminder on both games, we are really close to finally getting to see my answer to such question. But first I wanna do some practice of our imagination, so ya'll can get an early look at how my mindset on them are.

Imagine that you are with two friends and decide to go to a pizzeria. You for the most part are fine with any kind of pizza, but one of your friends only likes to eat pizza with Meat (ham, pepperoni and all that) while your other friend rather eats vegetable pizza.
So the three of you get and order a pizza for each. And at the table one of them starts making questions about the other's pizza... And eventually It turns into an argument of which one is better, to which both ask you what is your stance on this.

In my case, what I would reply to my friends would be something in the lines of this: "honestly, I don't really think much about It as in the end It is a matter of preference. Some people prefer to eat pizza with pepperoni, others prefer to eat It with vegetables only and others even would rather not eat pizza. Either of them are fine, and nobody should honestly be forced to eat a specific one if they don't want to."

Ok, now that we have set It all... It's time to finally give the answer

Spoiler: Part 3: The conclussion

From my point of view, Samus Returns and AM2R are two incredible and well crafted games... Which really rely on the preferences of each person.

If someone came to me asking for which one they reccomend me, I'll tell them these questions first:
-Would you rather play something done with sprites or anything goes?
-Are you a completionist or just play games for the action and/or to smash buttoms?
-Are you someone who plays games to explore worlds or to fight against all kinds of threats?

And depending on the answers, I will suggest them to play AM2R if they want a game which rewards exploration and lore reading or Samus Returns if they want a fun and exciting action game.

So yes, that is my answer to this endless dilemma: it's all a matter of preference. And nobody should be judged for preferring one over the other and viceversa as both are really valid and well-crafted games. What matters in the end with these games is to have fun playing It and remembering It all fondly.

So yeah, the next time you see someone trying to call out another person for playing just AM2R, Samus Returns or sometimes even for liking both... Tell them the small story about the pizza. And if after that they still don't get It... Then don't even bother with said person anymore.

Toph Gang Where Y’all At

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I’m reading a bunch of 19th century/very early 20th century novels both for my own amusement and for a project involving a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Reboot. So far my reading list has included

Spoiler

She and Allan series
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Dracula
The Invisible Man
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Tom Sawyer series
Sherlock Holmes series
The Picture of Dorian Gray

War of the Worlds
The Island of Doctor Moreau
From the Earth to the Moon
The Time Machine
John Carter of Mars series
HP Lovecraft series

Any suggestions for additions to that list? I ask you to limit any 20th century works to those that began within its first decade.

[DerpingPikachu]

Wow Toph looks really fun lol

 

[TheMightyP]

The Toph render matches perfectly with the leak
Garfield might actually be in the game


Btw, Toph actually looks like one of the better characters in terms of just abount everything.

 

[Noipoi]

MOVE ASIDE

BEST CHARACTER COMING THROUGH

 

[MooMew64]

A lotta people seem to be denying the Garfield leak but IMO I think it's pretty much Box Theory levels of innevitable at this point lol.

If it's fake, then there were Grinch levels of coincidences with it that helped it a whooooole lot.

 

[Z25]

Toph looks really great! Going to probably pick her up as a second main. Although the whole Avatar cast look really solid in this.

And they both involved a smug cat.
