Old English, pre-1066. Bit of modern English thrown in there for words that Old English didn't have or that we don't know.

Yea, Old English. It's strongly related to the old Nordic languages. My quote was the opening to Beowulf, starting with "Lo!" and ending with "A good king was that!"

Well, actually, I've seen Hwaet translated as "Hey," "Wait," "So," "Listen." But "lo" is my preferred reading.

After seeing that, the only proper reading is "Hey, listen!"

Gotta' git cho navi on.

The state of my ISP's infrastructure. I don't know how, or why but every time there's heavier rainfall my internet/TV goes apeshit and drops the connection every couple of minutes for a minute or so, before getting it back up and repeating the whole process. This has been going on for the entirety of today, with minor breaks in the routine here and there.
To make matters worse I'm not in some ass end of nowhere with shitty wiring, I'm litereally in the middle of the regional capital for fucks sake, the least I could expect, over a decade after it was first introduced is that my internet doesn't shit itself the moment the weather goes bad.

Pre-post edit:
It shat itself literally as I was typing this up, only after it failed to post did it update the network status to 'nope fuck you'

Basically "Jaffa, kree!"

Which was beautifully translated as "Yoohoo!" :v

Today I found out that I've been getting NieR and Nioh confused for about a year now. I think that Flying Dice is to blame somehow, but I can't remember why. Its entirely possible that I just look at the first letter of a word and how many letters it is and extrapolate everything in between.

"Most sunglasses just make things darker," says the commercial, "which can be deadly in a tactical situation!"

"So listen to me," says the commercial less explicitly, "and buy this shiny and reflective strip of plastic to stick in front of your eyes! I'm sure someone out there needs something to aim at."

Person, I'm starting to suspect you either weren't actually special ops, or you're being paid to say stuff you know is bullshit. Or weren't involved in field work all that much.

Admittedly NieR:Automata would be improved by Nioh's stances, and Nioh would be improved by NieR:Automata's booty shots.

But yeah, play both, they're both excellent.

I liked that commercial, if only because the idea of tactical-ops sunglasses is slightly ridiculous, as well as the idea of a good quality pair of them costing $19.95.

Also, the idea that a civilian would need tactical-ops sunglasses.
