  So that simulated voice of yourself saying something inside your own mind, that’s “inner monologue”?
  @lepinkainen@lemmy.world So you don’t have that? What happens in your mind when you imagine yourself explaining something to someone?

  What’s the difference between an internal monologue and just thoughts?

  Sounds like Reddit is a better fit for you then.

  Sarcasm can be conveyed non-verbally. Through facial expressions, gestures or situational incongruity for example. The core concept is not bound to specific languages, I’d say.

  They absolutely do. Even within the same language, regional accents have different prosodies.
  I recall reading a Nature article about how neonatal babies have different prosodies based on their parents spoken language that they pick up prenatally! How nuts is that!? Brains are cool.

  It could mean “It’s just the same old shit but with 5 new heroes next week”

  Headline is trying, poorly, to say they are renaming it to just ’Overwatch’ without the 2.
