Yeah, I was just watching a GDC Keynote speech by Will Wright (from the time Sims 1 just came out) and he made a similar point. The Sims talk gibberish because they realized that if they talked English you'd notice how repetitive and/or constructed the conversations were. Unintelligible word-like mush feels less repetitive.

Problem is, you hear the gibberish enough that you more or less start making it into words you recognize. Then you're back to listening to alien-male-deep-anguish.wav again, from a totally different alien saying a totally different thing. I'm looking at YOU, Bioware.

I hate to say it but I almost prefer the Undertale derp-de-derprp-derp voice beeps thing. At least then it all sounds different, even if it's just a bunch of noise. Wouldn't work all that well in a Bioware game. You'd wait a day for the conversation to finish being typed out. I forget how Animal Crossing works.

I keep getting error messages about the website being out of memory. Is Bay 12 Forums on its last legs?  :(

I don't recall anything about that.

Nope, I had it a couple of times too, plus the 504 earlier this evening.

Just saw a bus driver get punched in the face.
And then the perpetrator still ended up on the bus as it drove off.

In San Francisco, assaulting a Muni driver could get you five years in jail, or so the placards say.

I mean, assaulting pretty much anyone could get you jail time.

The guy (the puncher, not the driver) definitely seemed like a bit of a loose unit.
No idea what happened leading up to that incident, though. I just saw a shouting match in the bus doorway, culminating in the punch to the face.

I have recently been plagued by a very elaborate "dream related" wtf.  I am uncertain how to parse or proceed with it. It's a bit NSFW, so I will spoilerize it.

I keep getting lugged with deja vu around varying parts of my ongoing stay in Japan. Stepping into a house like so, watching a subway passenger like so, petting a cat like so, etc etc. I can pretty easily attribute much of it to the fatigue attached to all the traveling I did in the last two weeks. Still, it feels like the present seems to intersect with a dreamlike, phantasmal memory and sweep forward, leaving me to reel and grasp in its wake- the train departed, the course set and I the blind spectator to its terrible purpose.

Am I on the train? Did I miss it? How can I get off Mr. Bones' Wild Ride if I'm not sure I'm on it to begin with?

No that's normal, you're experiencing a mild haunting by the lingering spirit of Satoshi Kon. Very common.

If I remember correctly, the maximum sentence for assault is usually six months to a full year.
