I don't know how Steam tracks their numbers, but if they split domestic and international sales it's possible that the US isn't part of "worldwide" in this context.

But even if it is, something can be the #1 seller in one but not the other, so "both" is noteworthy.

I've only ever heard that term used in Cajun cooking, where it refers to onion, celery, and bell pepper.

The version with carrot is mirepoix.

It's also featured on a two-part episode of LeVar Burton Reads.

Looking at you Windows 11

Yeah, I got a new laptop recently with no intention of using the pre-installed OS, but I wanted to boot it up once just to make sure all the hardware was working.

It may have actually taken longer to figure out how to create a local account on W11 than to wipe it and install Linux.

IIRC hieroglyphs are in a weird space between pictographs and an alphabet. So you can use a symbol that looks, for instance, like a reed by itself to mean 'reed', or in combination to phonetically spell a word that doesn't have its own glyph.

So what I'm saying is this needs more rebus.

And also, if you should happen to drop it, always remember that a falling knife has no handle.

Better to destroy your straight razor than your hand.

(The line there being from Jacob Marley's ghost: "I wear the chains I forged in life." Which I still think this is might be paraphrasing, if somewhat muddled.)

I don't think they know about second last meal.

Bishlamek gurpgorp!

Funeral March of a Marionette.

Seriously, it's like nobody in this thread even read the seminal paper, "Scrimbling Considered Harmful".

Is that…Bowsette?

I know it can't be, since the character didn't exist when this was made, but it's interesting that her costume looks at least as much like Bowsette's (and not at all like Peach's or Pauline's) as his looks like Mario's.
