Yeah, the word "get" and "do" are everywhere in our English sentences in a similar way

I think all languages have this kind of thing, it always feels to me like untangling a big mess of wires but with languages

Is there a standardized name for this old retro pixel art phenomenon? I've always wondered

When you're old(er) I look forward to a book or video about all the crazy pitches you've been sent

To further this thought, I guess if the translation is a bridge, then your technical work makes you the bridge engineer/builder, along with the actual translator

To preserve media it helps to make it more known, which probably means sharing and making it even more available/accessible

The two things are slightly different but run parallel with each other, and translation is a major piece of the bridge between them I guess

Whoa, that's even cooler for sure, I have no doubt you'll come across it sometime within the next 50 years though

That's cool, the older you get the more likely it is for you to accidentally become the CEO of Nintendo someday

I've always been curious about this topic and I've wanted to run a game password system through a neural network to see if it can "imitate" the original system when presented with any single password

It's also had me curious if JUSTIN BAILEY is hardcoded or if it's just lucky password coordinates
