21·6 months agoYeah, it’s easy enough on bazzite, but it’s such a pain on the steam deck to get a VPN working. I haven’t been able to do the manual config lately either
Proton VPN flatpak on steam deck works great though
I wish they would make a flatpak
You really drank the Flavor Aid, didn’t you?
9·7 months agoYep, same happening here. Turning Bluetooth completely off seems to help, which is ok since I use the 2.4 dongle for my controller, but it still kinda sux
7·7 months agoToo true. I’ve tried to ask questions on LongFast, and unless our resident mesh Elmer is online, they go unanswered. There was a big influx about a month ago with some good conversation, though

It says if you can read the sign, you’re in range. It’s an anomaly, after all.
2·2 years agoThe first two have emphasis that imply something different than a simple question. Like you are asking a bunch of people individually, and you are directing each question at a specific person.
The last one would maybe be like, if the person did something weird, and you were sarcastically asking where the are from, to imply that they were raised by wolves, or something like that.
Point being, yes, you can ask like that, but it has different connotations than a simple question, which I think is where you would use the rising intonation.
I’m totally with you. I think it is somewhat speaker dependent, but that is how I would say those questions.
What’s your NAme
How OLD (are you)?
Where are you FROm?
I guess in this example, “who is your daddy?” Is the main question, which has a somewhat flat intonation, but contrasted to the emphasis in the second half of the sentence, it feels like a rise
Could you give some specific examples of questions in English that would not be asked with a rising tone at the end?
24fps vision is a lie told by Hollywood so they can save on film
But what about after enlightenment?
