Layoffs also look good to investors (so consider this from the point of a roughly human-shaped scum-sucking parasite) on financial reports because those filthy little humans never deliver anything and only cost us money, they need to go.

No, that’s “incompetent”. “Invincible” means not having the means to pay for legal representation.

Lempo isn’t a fertility god, though. His areas are erotic love, sex, and sexual prowess. He is also known by the feminine name Lemmätär or Lemmetär (-tar and -tär being feminizing suffixes). It’s not surprising that Christian revisionists turned him into one of the chief demons.

Only a Genius could come up with a scheme that offloads the cost of their own laziness to the customer. Exactly the kind of innovation that Steve Jobs stood for.

“I’ll pray for you” but it’s a prayer to Lempo, god of fucking from Finnish mythology.

- Comment on Anon describes experience 3 weeks ago:
When we started learning about past tense (primary school, probably 6th year, amazing teacher), the first thing we learned was a list of irregular verbs. We spent at least a week just memorizing them before the regular -d/-ed verbs were even mentioned. I’d like to think it was a deliberate choice, to condition us to consider irregular verbs first when using past tense.
That same teacher also taught us how to write and read the international phonetic alphabet. Again, she was an amazing teacher.

Europe, but not an English-speaking country. No native speakers were involved.
- Comment on Anon describes experience 3 weeks ago:
My English-as-second-language teacher hated me because I kept correcting her spelling and vocabulary. But it was okay because I hated her right back and took every opportunity to annoy her (for the sake of rigorous accuracy, of course). Fortunately she couldn’t actually harm or sabotage me because I aced almost all of my tests and had good scores in national ESL competitions, and a sudden drop in grades would likely have been too obvious.
The point where I’d had enough was a test about the anatomy of vehicles. She had crossed out my answer to “left side of a ship” because I’d written port or larboard (not that I expected someone with a master’s diploma to know the etymology of nautical terms, or not to confuse larboard with starboard because they looked similar), but what made my blood fucking boil was when she crossed out my answers of hood and trunk because I’d used the American words instead of the British bonnet and boot, and when I pointed out that she’d marked those same answers as correct in others’ tests, she went back and fucking changed the scores on the other tests. I told her it was “deplorable conduct for a teacher” (approximate translation, and as polite as I was going to get that day) and she dragged me to the principal for disrupting the class.
That was the third year of high school (I think “junior” is the American equivalent). I took an option to graduate one year early from ESL, in part out of spite. I’m sure she was glad to be rid of me.

And Tolkien’s Legendarium is just a bunch of hastily-written bedtime stories, right?

Some people are just really passionate about their tiny yellow plastic toy soldiers all having imaginary penises. The imaginary penises are important to them.

To be fair, the “sunny California” setting and atmosphere is probably as bland and generic as it gets. It didn’t give designers a lot to work with.
- Comment on Anon turns on raytracing 5 weeks ago:
Depends on how you define “accurate”. Even full ray tracing is just an approximation based on relatively few light rays (on an order of magnitude that doesn’t even begin to approach reality) that is deemed to be close enough where increasing the simulation complexity doesn’t meaningfully improve visual fidelity, interpolated and passed through a denoising algorithm. You can do close enough with a clever application of light probes, screenspace effects, or using a second camera to render the scene onto a surface (at an appropriate resolution).

If you think that video is representative of the release game’s actual performance and fidelity, I have several bridges to sell you.
