What is your pet peeve with language acquisition?
Languages are awesome to learn, but I just hate to deal with prepositions, tiny little words yet imo they are the beast of any language that I have tried to dabble with so far, what's yours?

Probably a common feeling that many eventually "grow out of". So I guess the follow-up question is if that happened to you, what made you change? And if that didn't, how did you manage to hold on to the belief?
School seemed to last forever. Undergrad a decent amount of time. Now post-grad seems to just fly by without end.
What’s the wild enterprise-level rumor or urban legend someone dropped on you while you were on the clock? Hoping someone here's gotta have a story so insane it sounds like total BS at least
Since we had a number of threads on Library resources, I figured we should have a place to consolidate them. If you find something of note, add it to the thread!
This will probably be rather US centric, but if something works in your neck of the woods, let us know.
I've had plenty of fun conversations with friends about this topic and figure all you Tilders would have some interesting ideas/thoughts.
Don't let budgetary/IP constraints ruin your dreams here!
I know we have a few VR veterans around the site, and given that the Steam Frame has finally materialized, we likely have some people who are soon to be new to VR.
This is a topic for people to ask any questions they have about VR, as well as for people who are familiar to share recommendations, tips, tricks, and any other thoughts they have.
Add awesome game deals to this topic as they come up over the course of the week!
Alternately, ask about a given game deal if you want the community’s opinions: e.g. “What games from this bundle are most worth my attention?”
Rules:
If posting a sale, it is strongly encouraged that you share why you think the available game/games are worthwhile.

Tildes is a very serious site, where we discuss very serious matters like loneliness, firmware and game mechanics. Tags culled from the highest voted topics from the last seven days, if anyone was inquisitive.
But one of my favourite tags happens to be offbeat! Taking its original inspiration from Sir Nils Olav III, this thread is looking for any far-fetched offbeat stories lurking in the newspapers. It may not deserve its own post, but it deserves a wider audience!
This topic is part of a series. It is meant to be a place for users to discuss creative projects they have been working on.
Projects can be personal, professional, physical, digital, or even just ideas.
If you have any creative projects that you have been working on or want to eventually work on, this is a place for discussing those.
There are certainly a few people here, who will be buying Steam Frame VR headset.
I enlisted myself a few days ago for the first wave lottery reservations. After a bit of thought, I also enlisted my daughter, to double my chances from almost 0% to double of that but still near zero in my eyes.
A few minutes ago I got e-mail. I'm on waiting list after first wave goes out... Well, maybe this year?
My daughter checked her e-mail as well. And what do you know? Doubling of the chances paid off and the chance was actually higher than near 0% - her account got picked by Valve! It seems we are getting the headset in upcoming days/weeks.
Now the question is: Should we get the head and handstraps also? I think we should. But I don't knowbif I should get also new foam/seal. I'm not spending 170€ on color camera, at least not for now.
Sorry for this kind of post, we are just so happy and I wanted to share the happiness. I hope some of you got on the list for first wave as well.

Hi Tildeans,
I am not an artist, but I know artists who are searching for online spaces where they can post / share / engage with artwork without the AI generated art being ever-present.
I’m wondering if anyone on Tildes is aware of platforms in the small web that are trying to accomplish this? I’m specifically looking for smaller platforms, since I think Tildes does a good job creating an online community where it feels like I’m engaging with real people. I appreciate anyone who has any suggestions!
Music, rain sounds, white noise, nothing, etc. Do you do anything specific with sound to create your own reading environment? If so, what, and why?
