Nice generalization on how teleprompters work.

I’ve worked the speed on one and had to input text into others. And there being phonetic text was a rare occurrence and only for technical terms or very uncommon words. And 100% sure „pantries“ would not be one of them.

Maybe there are systems that do this (which I think is highly unlikely, as it would make it harder for someone reading common words displayed as phonetic in sentences), but I wouldn’t go as far as saying: „Teleprompters are also phonetic.“ Btw what’s your source on this?

My guess would be that, as while we are reading text fast, we don’t actually read all letters or their proper order in a word, but our brain just quickly scans the letters and context and outputs what it makes out to be the right word in this situation, this was just a misinterpretation. The other option could be that somebody made a spelling error and „panties“ was actually displayed on the prompter.

Maria is closer to Mario. So I would prefer Waria over Wary.

And just to say it’s not just Maria in Spanish. It’s Maria in Italian, German and Portuguese. It’s also sounds like Maria in Russian (Мария) and Greek (Μαρία). Those are the ones that I know of, probably there are more languages using Maria.

So this is the full map for the images I've posted these last days. So you kinda get an overview of where all the little scenes took place. Zoom in recommended :)

Get Inside! Fast! (lemmy.world)

Someone on reddit recommended pretty early, that my map would be a nice playground for the zombie apocalypse. So at a point later in the game I've added the Zombieland Mod. In this image you can see the outcome. And he was right, this was a lot of fun!

In the west of my military base a local biker gang has established a profitable smokeleaf business operating in the shadows of their bar.

2

This small cabin is located in the north west of my military base map. Due to some disturbing rumors among the locals I try to avoid that region.

A little motel from my military base playthrough. A murder recently happened in one of the rooms. Can you find out what happened?

I'm starting to transfer my Rimworld post from Reddit to Lemmy and will close down by Reddit account soon.

So I'll start with this pic I took in one of my favorite playthroughs. It started as a military base with tech limited to industrial and slowly evolved into a zombie game (thx to the zombieland mod which I added later on)
