There’s a vast gap between “dog shit” and “good” though. Mediocre or Acceptable being an examples. Which is my point, if you don’t know the language you don’t know a good performance from a mediocre one from an average one or a good one.

I’m gonna point back to the example earlier. Non English speakers watching Star Wars in English even though the performances and dialogue were widely mocked w

No, you can’t. Intonation and tone is very different in different languages.

And sounding emotional is not the same thing as good acting, for example over delivery is a thing. Something you could not tell without speaking the language. Acting is a lot more than sounding emotional. Good acting is even more than that

I don’t think people without first world problems were buying AirPods and iPhones to begin with.

Ok maybe I’m misunderstanding the ban but the book isn’t transmitting data is it?

I thought the TikTok ban was based on who has access to the data, not that the data exists.

I’m pretty certain transcribing confidential information into a book and calling it free speech wouldn’t circumvent the laws restricting access to that info.

Ive got collective thousands of hours in paradox titles. The good dlcs (and there are trash ones I haven’t bought) adds dozens of hours of playtime. They also keep the mod community active which adds hundreds more.

It seems expensive but 10-20 bucks every few months is reasonable to me.

My bigger issue is some of them are starting to feel very paytowin with the feature/power creep (compare vanilla Russia/Ottomans in EUIV to dlc versions for an example)

How can you know if the delivery is better if you don’t even know which words are being inflected upon, if they are being said awkwardly, so on and so forth.

That you use Star Wars kinda cements the point. The prequels were infamous for their odd dialogue and stilted deliveries.

It’s not that the voice acting or delivery is better; it’s that you can’t tell the difference because you don’t know what it should sound like.

The most fun I ever had with a MGS game was watching someone else play it.

Depends on what part of the 3rd world we are talking about. Majority of African nations for example do not have UHC yet. Asia is a better off in this regard but not the entire continent.

I see you haven’t met my co-workers. Or my neighbors.
