Spanish and Japanese use the same sounds. For the most part, anyway; there are probably a few exceptions. This was unexpected and utterly blew my mind as a native Spanish speaker when I took Japanese lessons.

Take the longest, most complicated Japanese word. Write it out in romaji (Latin letters). And ask a native Spanish speaker to pronounce it. One who knows nothing of Japanese. They’ll pronounce it pretty much correctly. I was fascinated.

With all the context behind it I think the last scene of Star Trek: The Next Generation counts

I’m glad it’s there. I use it professionally to check the spellings of words.

i honestly remember the Gmail Inbox app being better than the current Gmail app

It absolutely was

Super Hexagon

I just went through the first five episodes of Doom 1 and had a ton of fun. Sigil II is a brick wall.

Go in cold! And definitely play Portal first. It’s really short.

I would love to use Matrix more. I’m in one Discord server I enjoy and would hate to lose touch with. I am otherwise actively minimizing my Discord use. My friends complain sometimes but I do not budge.

If I had that one inch I’d own it

I’m sorry. Perhaps if you search for “hbo logo flying through space” you’ll find something.
