My favorite is when someone says “I’m going to google search that.” Google is a search engine, so you don’t need to say “search”.

Another one is “Six in one, half dozen the other.” Who came up with that stupid shit? English dies each time.

Google is a company; Google Search is their search engine, so technically this is correct.

Sometimes while typing in English I have to rely on the following: "That that"
It's pretty strange because "That" has different translations in Spanish.
Let me try a literal translation:

"Ella dijo que eso es muy malo"
"She said that that is really bad"

" ... que ésa no es la respuesta"
" ... that that is not the answer"

:unsure:

So would you say that this that means one thing, and that that that means another?

You might be on to something here. “The Edge of The Forum” should actually be “The Edge”. It is already a forum and doesn’t need the title. Look at all the other forum titles. None of the have “forum” in the title, because they are already known as forums.

It used to just be called "The Edge" but then we got a C&D notice for copyright infringement and had to rename it.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

  • Scarlet @ Scarlet:
    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
