But why? We don't pronounce any other acronyms like that, so why treat GIF different? The U in SCUBA isn't pronounced like it is in Underwater. The first A in CAPTCHA isn't pronounced the same as in Automated and the CH isn't split up to be pronounced like Computer and Human. The second A in NASA isn't pronounced like in Administration and the I in PIN doesn't get pronounced like Identification.

We read acronyms as their own words, not as a collection of the first sounds of each constituent word.

There are so many other acronyms where you don't pronounce every letter the same as their constituent words, I don't understand why GIF is the one people have a problem with accepting. SCUBA, NASA, CAPTCHA, OWCA, etc.

I'm not sure how much lower it can reasonably get. A standalone headset can already be had for less than the price of a Samsung gaming monitor.

I left Reddit for this app. I paid to remove ads once 10 years ago and I don't mind doing it again tbh.

I know it's unpopular but I'm a big fan of 3D. This could be very cool.

Yes it does. It won't be the first time in the Animal Crossing series that items become unobtainable due to an online service shutdown unfortunately.

Remember the Geico caveman commercial they turned into a sitcom? It'll be original content just like that, but with sentient cows instead.

Edit: I believe what I have described is called Back at the Barnyard (2007-2011)

Sounds like Jonathan still has a chance to redeem himself then

 

One painful firmware update later and the z-offset bug that has plagued me since getting the Neptune 4 Pro is finally resolved and first layers are good again just like that. I just had to share the thrilling end result.
