I have a ton of different Nintendo consoles and lots of gameboy color cartridges for that reason. Good thing I collected them like 8 years ago because they are stupid expensive now

You sound odd, like a child or someone not fluent if you don't use our misuse the genders of words.

That being said, as native Spanish that lived in the UK for a while, I noticed that genders and verb forms are useful for providing more context when talking.

Cannot think of specific examples now, but in general in a phrase if you don't hear a word or don't know the meaning, it is easier to guess it because the rest of the phrase is constructed around the gender and more complex verbal forms.

Aside from the accurate list you posted, I felt similarities as well with hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

I did read the first one and liked it a lot, I wanted to continue the series but other stuff gets in the way and recently I've been more into gaming than reading 😭

Sleeping with some light (the blinds not shut completely) was a cause for me, along with stress. No light, not able to see anything waking up, no eldritch horrors in the room and I probably fall asleep again.

where I live there are shops for laptop, console and phone repairs. I'd keep it simple and go to one of those

Believe it or not, I've read the books and saw all the movies, but was a franchise for which my love decreased as it evolved. So not a huge fan at the end, but the game was not very punishing for knowing or not a lot of lore.

Regardless, the game itself is greatly done in some parts and some others were left without any love. I won't go into spoilers. The graphics are incredible for being on the switch, and the beginning of the game and mostly the castle are amazingly done with a lot of details and love. You can definitely feel to be a student in hogwarts and it's great. There are some beasts to interact to, which was also interesting and I had some fun with those mechanics.

The main problem is that at some point most of the missions are outside the castle (which is just land half empty with repetitive areas), which breaks the immersion of the hogwarts-life built in the castle. Partly because of that, some of the story and side missions don't make a lot of sense to me, which was a bit of a disappointment, mostly towards the end (I think I felt the same about the books/movies 🤔).

I finished Hogwarts legacy, which was a "meh" 6/10 by my taste.

Now I'm playing Dave the Diver and I'm enjoying it a lot, definitely is more than meets the eyes.. and the cinematic videos are great 😅🐠

you're right of course, and for me the first panel the sentence sounds correct, but not the last one, where she's already refering to her cat which is a cat like "gato" only. Maybe not the same asking if you have any car, any boyfriend or any cat as opposed to saying that now you have a cat, which should go with the "a" before. Unless the cat is called "Cat" 😅

I'm not a linguistic and cannot argue the why properly, but the sentence in last panel is definitely off

"un gato", it's missing the word "a" in "a cat", which makes it sound wrong and funnier in spanish than if it'd be written well

I'm not sure if it's your style, but search for Extremoduro or Estopa. I'll link something later if I remember

I would have translated better without the "a" to make it wrong and same level of absurd.

  • Do you have cat?
  • No
  • Now you do
  • And that's how I got cat
