These look nice. Haven’t seen them in the EU yet.

I wear a lot of clarks shoes and I have found that it greatly depends on the model. I have two pairs (craftdean wing, I think) that are easily six years old and I wear them a lot. Just service them once a year and they still look like new. But I owned another pair (not wings, they were dressier) that lasted me only two years. Perhaps the shoes in the outlet are not the sturdiest?

I have some wallabees and desert londons too and they used to be lower quality because the crepe sole would wear out fast. Last year I bought the black EVO versions and they barely wear out at all.

So clarks is still good in my book. I have two pairs of chelsea boots of the brand vagabond too, and they are great too!

You can go as Cis-conservative as you want with your pronouns in the game. No-one is forcing those conservatives to give in to their innermost desires.

I don’t know, if I’m honest, if there is one AAA developer out there that makes games that will keep me engaged for at least a couple of hundred hours, it’s probably Bethesda. I think Starfield will be the same. Will there be bugs: yes. Will it be “a variation on a well-known theme”?: most definitely. Will it be less good than the hype: very likely. Will it be totally worth it nonetheless: probably yes.

It’s so desperate.

Just here to say I love you and I subscribed to !linguistics@lemmy.ml.

I do, I remember I once hitchhiked across Europe and my ride put on Stadium Arcadium. I almost died. And when it was over, the real surprise came. It’s a double CD.

I think RHCP is the best musical example of ‘Awful taste, great execution’ (for me). Good musicians, but it makes my fucking skin crawl.

Except that apart from maybe the bible, there is probably not a single literary body of work that is as often refered to as Shakespeare’s in western media, literature, movies, series, games … you name it. It’ll help you appreciate A LOT of other stuff a lot more if you get into it a little. Shakespeare is used and reused everywhere, all the time.
