11 days agoI could see the Borg as viewing the non-Borg universe as just something for their feed, though. Something like you can vote for a civilization to be put through Alice In Borderland or whatever, and watch them struggle.
Similarly, Steam has some option about “adult only games” that doesn’t seem to mean “you don’t have to keep asking me my birthday for ‘grim’ games”, i.e. games you have to verify you’re an adult to see, instead it seems to mean “show me porn games”.
This kind of bowdlerised English or whatever it’s called is usually weird and confusing to us non-natives. Like, it’s apparently OK to have the puerile stuff, you just can’t be normal about it?
“Adult” doesn’t imply genital stuff to the rest of us, USA.
