ADS word of the year is out and it’s -ussy

Lady boosted

Sooooo... the American Dialect Society's Word of the Year is "-ussy", and I am personally thanked in their primary scholarly reference for "-ussification", a paper called "A corpus study of phonological factors in novel English blends."

The announcement: americandialect.org/2022-word-

the open-world system works in scarlet/violet, which is exploration-based and a traditional pokémon RPG, but it would have been godawful in legends arceus which is challenge-oriented

nobody wants a fully open-world challenge-oriented game, they want mushroom zone and ice palace and candy kingdom

Show thread

remember how people complained that legends arceus wasn't really open-world like breath of the wild and then legends arceus was a much better game on account of not being open-world like breath of the wild
