  • We have a concept of word inflection, which can be used to replace a lot of words that English would use to denote something being a question, ownership markers, causes and effects etc.

    I don’t speak Finnish, but I believe a good example for such an inflection is how in English you can glue an -s to words to make them plural. In some other languages, you say “many word” instead, because they don’t have such an inflection.






  • I mean, they do have the infinite money glitch, a.k.a. being owned by Microsoft. If Microsoft’s investors think Fallout 5 will make its money back, it’s more lucrative to get started on it sooner rather than later.

    And it does also need to be said that they can’t keep remastering Fallout titles forever. They need to develop a new title at some point.

    Bethesda Game Studios has so far always only had one game in development at a time, which should be TES6 right now. If they are working on Fallout 5, we’re likely talking pre-production stages. So, it might very well be the case that the two remasters come out in roughly equal spacing before Fallout 5 comes out in a few years.














  • Perhaps worth pointing out that audio volume in general is a mess. The only meaningful number is an audio volume of 0. All the others are made up.

    You can measure the dB, but only for specific pieces of hardware. And in the end, it’s all a matter of perception anyways. Your bass might be thumping at objectively a high number of dB, but the entire audio track still sounds quiet to some listeners, because they listen:

    • on a phone speaker.
    • with a bunch of background noise.
    • with bad hearing.
