This would be read aloud as: S M I L E exclamation point! S M I L E exclamation point! ...

(it would spell out the word "smile" instead of saying it)

This was perhaps the densest TTS runtime to character count.

I think I might

TL;DR (I only have a minute right now), does this change ANYTHING about the doll except a little note on the box she comes in?

Okay, I must confess, I knew about that, as well as the other options in the replies. I never used any of them but I knew they exist. When I asked it was sort of as a rhetorical question. People generally wouldn't know about these obscure typing options, so I was playing the everyman.

Even if you do know it, if you don't use it often enough you forget and have to look it up again next time.

Or far more realistically, just make the server binaries available. You can't force companies (or individuals for that matter) to open source their code.

The Stop Destroying Videogames initiative deliberately doesn't care how they make the games work without continued support, as long as they do it. Releasing server binaries (or code) is one way, there are others.

TL;DW: all the point they say opposing the initiative are straight up lies. Some other parts of the statement deliberately pretend to misunderstand the initiative.

Thanks. I couldn't believe perspective alone could cause its head to look that narrow and elongated. Seems like it's quite narrow and elongated from the get go.

what the hell is the left picture

I see no reason whatsoever to suspect this

It's going at an angle, not up. It's 90° from the handrail itself, which is sloped to match the incline of the stairs.

Yeah. I've now found a reason that makes me convinced the mattress is at the bottom. I made a top level comment about it.

The biggest factor IMO is something no one mentioned yet: we can only see one face of each step (either the top or the wall). If a photo is taken from the bottom, we would almost always be able to see the tops of the first few steps, which isn't visible here. If a photo is taken from the top, the walls would pretty much never be visible (if they were, you could also see the photographer's feet).

Therefore, this photo is only consistent with a photo taken from the top.

It is possible that this is an extremely long flight of stairs or that the photo was taken from a deliberately deceptive angle, but if that's the case I have to say it was expertly done, because I am CERTAIN that we are looking from the top and the mattress is at the bottom.
