I’m quite fond of communism, personally.

  • Does anyone know what the FFXV comrades in arms DLC is about? I’ve been avoiding playing it because it looks like call of duty. Are the four boys even in it?

    EDIT: no they’re not. I think they might appear as NPCs later but the game’s mainly about using your ugly custom avatar to grind boring missions in multiplayer. Or should I say single player because no one’s playing this in 2024 lol. It’s neat to see Eos post-chapter 13 though


  • Did you play in Spanish Spanish or in Latino Spanish? Because I’ve been messing around with languages and found some interesting differences between the two. And do you know how to make tables in Lemmy?, because I might post about it…

    And I agree, this game really grew on me too! I thought the main characters were tropey at first but they’ve endeared themselves to me since. I can overlook all the game’s jank because the boys are just that precious. I spent two hours running around in circles with them with illegible text and I’d do it again.



  • I’ve been playing FF15 and decided to switch the language to English out of curiosity. Gotta say, this might be a rare Spanish translation W. Some things that stand out:

    • every quest rhymes in Spanish while most don’t have any wordplay in English
    • Noct’s magic abilities are in Latin in Spanish, but have generic names in English
    • Many abilities have different descriptions so one or both of these languages must be wrong

    Also the summons are called the Sidereals instead of the Hexatheon, the royal weapons have unique names and are called the Spectral Chorus instead of the Armiger, and the Chocobo post is called la Chocoberiza (a play on caballeriza).



  • Intel is building a $20 billion facility in Arizona with financial support from the US government. NBC News reported workers are on the construction site for “two 60-hour weeks followed by a 50-hour week for months at a time in the hot Arizona weather with no paid vacation time.”

    Many of these workers are coming from out of state and leaving their friends and families behind to live in temporary housing or hotels for months or years at a time. Josh Vitale, a superintendent for Hoffman Construction, the general contractor overseeing the construction of the Intel computer chip factory, told NBC News, “There’s a lot that goes into how stressful it is, not just physically, but mentally and psychologically … we have to realize that we are legitimately wringing the life out of people.”

    They’re making workers leave their lives behind for months at a time to toil in the desert and live in sardine cans. With no vacation. Yeah it’s real surprising that suicide is on the rise and no young people are joining the industry.






  • The CSET study looked at fab construction between 1990 and 2020, and concluded that for the roughly 635 fabs built in that timeframe, the average time between the start of construction and production was 682 days. Three countries beat that benchmark: Taiwan at 654 days on average, Korea at 620, and Japan at a staggeringly fast 584 days. Meanwhile, Europe and the Middle East were about on par at 690 days, as was China at 701 days.

    However, the U.S. clocked in at 736 days, well above the worldwide average and second only to Southeast Asia at 781.

    Idk if I’m just a rube, but one month of difference doesn’t seem like that big a deal. Also this author says that Taiwan is a country and that environmental protections should be cut to speed up construction.
