And So It Has Come To This

Doing so for the Switch almost always changes the language of the games

Though there are some games like Pokemon that will give you language options right up front; same with some Playstation games you will often have the option to change the language settings somewhere (usually in options)

This can be done for Spanish, but also for multiple other languages. And in the case of Spanish (and I think sometimes Portuguese) you'll have the option to change it between European and Latin American [For Portuguese it would be European vs Brazilian]

...

Again, this is really more for people who need a sustained challenge and already know the important basics of a language, but that's my preferred way of practicing my reading

Although some games do actually have dubs as well - though in the case of Spanish often times it's European Spanish which isn't a bad thing [and sometimes the settings are old-fashioned so it makes it feel more historical] but it is something to be aware of

...

This can also be really fun just if you like translation and you're good at the language you can see how some people do certain choices like jokes or idiomatic expressions, or the names of enemies etc

as there is no merch whatsoever, i'm hoarding anything and everything that reminds me of nikushka lol

found a hairpin from the local alt clothing store, and i obviously had to get it as the thorn vine pattern is similar to his iron wreath

and, of course, i modified it a bit <3 added some swords, more spikes, black hearts, a connector i cut a part off for it to look more like the middle part of the iron wreath, and a lot of blood droplets (the pin on damned is separate, also found from the same store, an absolute gem)

this is how it originally looked before all the additions

a bunch of archives of incredibly important government datasets like maternal mortality statistics are about to be deleted forever. in a regime where they're known to fudge numbers, we can't trust a lot of the data coming from them to not be altered. open source backups like those found on data.world are vital to being able to verify that the data coming from our government is still intact and not altered. and they're about to delete all of it.

i don't know if we need to start a petition or what. nobody seems to fucking care. there are millions of users on data.world and yet nobody is raising the alarm bells and it makes me feel like I'm going insane. somebody needs to do something. i don't know what to do. it feels like more and more of this world is being destroyed and dismantled. it's not only US centric data, either! it's all sorts of countries from around the world! and they're about to fucking delete everything.

the only things that won't be deleted are private companies who happen to use the paid version of their platform (which isn't accessible data to the open source community; some people have just been using their service to host their own data on privately)

and the kicker? this announcement was made... via an AI generated blog post. so not even any sort of human touch. just a generic, soulless announcement made by a soulless human about to take a wrecking ball to one of the more important websites that exists on the internet.

an example of some of the things that will be deleted on July 11th:

There are over 3500 respectable data repositories on one respectable global registry; to a researcher there’s no point in data existing if not findable; if you’re trying to find a new home for your dataset, start there

Here are some of the scripts I’m using to email University Research Librarians and department chairs/assistant and associate deans who I know oversee faculty who use resources from data.world for their lessons:
