Be that as it may, I honestly don't see what difference that would make in regards to OP's point... While it is spmewhat rather ironic, their argument over choice of word(s) in this particular situation is - imo, anyway- not one of semantics, but more of localization.

Either way, whether this is a language selector or region switcher (or any variation on such a theme for that matter), I believe the point OP was - correctly, if you ask me - making is: Whenever a UX/UI element is needed to prompt for proper display language, each language should be displayed however it appears in its native tongue as opposed to how it appears in whatever language is currently selected.

As an added bonus, this also solves the problem of a user inadvertently changing the language (or forgetting to lock their workstation when leaving briefly and returning to find it changed to "help them remember to lock their station when not in active use" allegedly... not that that's happened to anyone I know or anything) and being unable to change it back due to not knowing how to spell "English" in Japanese, for example.

Well, it isn't like he hasn't earned it at this point... How the fuck are you gonna spend the better part of a decade buying up a shit ton of studios - ostensibly to make you a competitive stable of console moving exclusives - to have almost all of them release what are arguably their worst games time and time again... So to compensate, they shutter studios who've just produced games almost universally lauded by critics and crowd alike, and then just say fuck it, we never even believed in exclusives to begin with, yet decided not to take a stand on it until... now for... reasons...? 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

And now, as an added bonus, this is pretty much just the overall vibe of the US in general too

I want off Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

Bro, Nancy Mace isn't people... She thinks she's people, but she's not people.

Wario, Yoshi, and Dinkey King? (Could've been Diddy Kong, but I think he's been having some legal issues or something lately...)

I didn't even know he knew Kid Cudi, either.

Underaquaia? Seaunderia? Drownica? Or, my personal favorite: "fuck ugly giant cthulu adjacent heart attack inducer 2"

I can only imagine the new PTB are already working feverishly to add mandatory for story progression, 30+ hour combined Seatruck and Snowfox segments, a minigun which mounts to the seaglide, and mats necessary for key endgame craftables which are conveniently available exclusively through loot boxes you can earn by sending individual dev team members your nudes or earn 15 a week absolutely free with your monthly Deep Dive Club subscription

Also, from orbit the planet looks completely covered by ocean, but once you land it's like calf high at its highest... but there are still leviathans, for some reason. Because fuck you, that's why.

Omfg this is real isn't it

Jesus wept

Look, I didn't want to have to be the one to say this, but since no one else is apparently going to: That toddler looks rough af bro... I mean, basically like a nearly grown ass man.

Hopefully they land on their face and you can get it some of that sweet, sweet reconstructive surgery so it isn't fuck ugly all its life.

Obviously, you look fine and stuff tho, OP. Don't consider my words a poor reflection upon your semen/egg quality. I'm sure they get it from their other parent. Now, let's move on before anyone points out that, best case scenario, I've now creepy ass things

Bro, carrots to chicken? Really? You literally had anything to anything to choose from here - while attempting to literally one-up a god, mind - sky's the limit and everything, and that's what you settle on?

Not rocks into gold, sand into heroin, water into a 40 year old scotch, pee into milkshakes; nah, that'd be fuckin lame compared to carrots into motherfuckin chicken! I mean, I get it, kinda, cuz I'm not into carrots and would prefer chicken in its place 100% of the time, but... I'm just sayin, compared to some of the possibilities that's like mid at best, prolly more like a sidegrade if we're being honest.

Oooh, every other flavor Starburst into pink! Boom. Talk about unlimited cosmic power

Well... In light of this thread, I'm certainly not gonna be able to look at Gamepass the same way now, at least...

My former girlfriend's vagina is an Xbox to me...

Not to sound like I'm jumping directly to something extreme right off the bat or anything, but just from your characterization of her moods seeming to vacillate between such extreme highs (I want to be a prodigy at everything) and extreme lows (I'm worthless and horrible) paired with the grandiose thinking (FAME!) it kinda sounds like she might be suffering from bi-polar disorder... Severe ADHD with some form of depression that's going unmedicated (or possibly unsuccessfully self-medicated) could also be a possibility as well...

How often do these shifts in mood occur?

Also - and perhaps more importantly - while I think it's honestly super admirable of you to seem to be so interested in helping a friend (particularly one you don't even know irl, to boot), it's important to remember not to allow yourself to think that you, solely, are responsible for their mood, self-esteem, or well being. That may sound callous at first, but - and I say this as someone who has suffered from mental illness(es) for as long as I can recall - it's like they tell you on planes: You have to secure your own oxygen mask first before helping with anyone else's... To put it another way: If you let the drowning person drag you under, you certainly aren't going to be saving them (or yourself, for that matter). Please don't take this as discouragement toward trying to help, by any means, as you 100% should, imo. I just feel like even if you already know, it doesn't hurt to have it reinforced.
