Damn, those Steam reviews are awful

I'm not sure -- when I hear "vocal fry" I think of that open-throated low engagement of the vocal cords that makes a deeper sounding rapid popping noise. Were you referring to the same?

 

I notice a common pattern for voicing characters like Sméagol (Lord of the Rings), Stitch (Lilo & Stitch), Mogwai (Gremlins), and Jar Jar Binks (Star Wars Ep. 1) that involves falsetto and raising the back of the tongue to the roof of the mouth while talking. Is there a common name for that technique?

The fact that the explorer can regularly completely freeze up nowadays or flat out crash is actually insane.

This was literally the trigger for my very first Linux experience, it's fucking asinine that something so fundamental to the UX could perform so poorly for such an extended period of time.

I love having to reboot the explorer.exe process in task manager because my taskbar search stops working.

I know you meant "spotlight" but that typo made me chuckle

Is that the same thing as an IPO?

Seconding Thursday boots; I love the fit and style. I wanted a leather daily driver I wouldn't feel too bad about getting some damage on. Hurt a lot for awhile, but no regrets obviously.

Created by Mozilla Research in 2012, the Servo project began as a research and development effort. Stewardship of Servo moved from Mozilla Research to the Linux Foundation in 2020. The project finally moved to Linux Foundation Europe in 2023 with the mission of trying to regain interest from the broader industry.
