This is the time of year when I try escaping into VR. Also I got a sun lamp for the morning, which is the thing that actually helps.

Oh, and the top ads on duckduckgo are Senior.com and Ebay.com (Google suggests Pedifix.com and DrugSuppyStore.com [sic])

Prompted by thinking about the open-world lineage
Shadow of the Colossus -> Dragon's Dogma -> Breath of the Wild -> Death Stranding, Eldin Ring.

I wish Deadly Premonition fit in there but the only commonalities are (1) Japanese (2) big empty world (3) jank.

If this is a JS file, it’s probably because
const x = require(…)
binds require to a commonjs global. It’s supposed to check for locals first but it looks like that failed.

For those outside linguistics:

1. Linguists don’t actually talk about parsing much.
2. As soon as you start modeling linguistics on a computer, you need a parser, even if it’s for phonology (roughly, “pronunciation”) instead of syntax.

It’s gotten better every time I played it. Admittedly the first time was on PS3 and the last time in VR.
(In VR, I liked it better than I did Half-Life Alyx.)
