  • It’d be great if they truly believed this, but that’s just the image they like to project, the truth is that this has them deathly afraid.

    You’ve got mainstream media covering it, folks like digital foundry openly talking about how Windows is the worst part of Windows handhelds. They can’t let this stand, so they’re actively working against it.

    Just like the faster zombies blog post in 2012 scared them into boosting d3d development and eventually led to the release of d3d12, this will make them actually invest in gaming for a change.

    All the chatter about xbox branded handhelds is an easy tell, but like the blog post we might not discover the true extent until years later.

    The Wikipedia entry has a pronunciation guide:

    English: [bɑːrsəˈloʊnə]

    Catalan: [bəɾsəˈlonə]

    The first a is a schwa and the o isn’t rounded. Honestly, it looks quite similar to English, to the point where there might be some English dialect that sounds exactly like that.

    Your assumption might be the case for frankenstein, it’s a relatively short book.

    The parent is most likely talking about books like the count of monte cristo. It goes on for more than a thousand pages, but was originally serialised over a couple years.

    Similar things happen to older books. Current day editions of don quixote include don quixote part 2, which was a sequel published a decade after the first.
