![]() Here are just five examples to prove the point. It is in all respects a language, even if not a very respected one. It can be analyzed, categorized and learned. It is a rank mutiny aboard the vessel that is the English language in Ghana, and it is taking no prisoners.Īnd yet I have always answered friends like Kwame the same way: Pidgin English is structured. To be fair, Pidgin English sounds like an all-out rebellion against the Queen herself. But in terms of the latter, subjective perspectives set in, and most people expect at least some structure and predictability in a true language grammar and syntactical logic that can be analyzed, categorized and learned. In terms of the former, there is no question that it is. There is a kinship in it, and it is beautiful.īut is it a language? This question is not so much an anthropological one as it is a philosophical one. Various ethnicities and nationalities converse easily in this customized vernacular. ![]() It also simplifies language acquisition for non-native English speakers from Ghana and beyond. It liberates less educated people to engage with their more elite peers, and in that it is a great equalizer of the social classes, at least for the purposes of communication. Pidgin English is boldly spoken everywhere including such prohibited places, and by everyone including the prohibitors. It has the reputation of being low-class, the dialect of the undereducated it is banned in every public school and frowned upon by educators in general as a rampant saboteur of the English paradigm within which pretty much all of Ghana’s education occurs.Īt the same time, it is by no means a hiding language. It is often seen as a corruption of pristine diction that is not worth the epithet of an actual language. I love language, and Pidgin English is, for me, an enigma. I turned back to my coding, adjusted my seat and said to myself, “Actually it does.” “Ah, Agana, pidgin no get grammar oo,” he protested, with an air of finality that lingered after he left the room. “I dey go search chow give we.” Kwame looked at me in astonishment. Despite his being visibly hungry and irritable that hot afternoon three years ago, I could not suppress the scrupulous grammarian in my head that was reaching out to grab him by the throat. “Chale, I dey go search chow give us,” my good friend Kwame said.

Newer versions are available from the developer's site only, for $9.99. ![]() It now stretches out across a distance of 6.39in, which is still quite large, but it’s disappointing that it still only has an HD+ (1,560 x 720) resolution, with a piddly pixel density of just 269ppi.Note: The last freeware version (5.3) was released in 2008. The Nokia 5.4’s IPS screen has reduced in size since the 5.3, but only by less than 3%. Finally, flip the phone over and you’ll spot the small circular fingerprint sensor, which can be used for secure unlocks as well as authorising contactless card payments via NFC. The Nokia 5.4 charges via USB-C at the bottom, and there’s a 3.5mm audio jack at the top. On the right edge of the handset, you’ll find the phone’s volume rocker and power button, as well as a dedicated Google Assistant button on the opposite side. The same can be said about the Nokia 5.4’s thoughtfully placed buttons and connections. You certainly don’t get the impression that it was cheaply made – it doesn’t flex or bend when you give it a good twist – and its appealing design is arguably befitting of a handset that costs twice the price. The phone’s screen-bordering bezels have been decreased slightly (the phone’s overall dimensions are a bit smaller too) and the new hole-punch selfie cutout is less obtrusive than the rather chunky centrally-placed teardrop notch on the last model.Īll of this adds up to a phone that both looks and feels more premium than its bargain-bin price might initially suggest. Like previous Nokia phones, both colours are “inspired by Nordic nature” and what this means, according to Nokia, is that their shimmering rear panels are supposed to represent the multicoloured light patterns of the Aurora Borealis. The Nokia 5.4 comes in a choice of two colours: “Polar Night” and “Dusk”. Nokia 5.4 review: Design and key features Motorola’s Moto G9 Power and its long-lasting battery also costs the same as the Nokia 5.4, while the Realme 6 with its 90Hz screen costs a bit more at £199. Our current budget favourite is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T which, for the same price as the Nokia, comes with 5G connectivity and a slightly larger Full HD+ display. There’s plenty of competition at this price, though. Should you be so inclined, you could buy almost five Nokia 5.4’s instead of a 64GB iPhone 12, for instance. ![]() Priced at £160, the Nokia 5.4 costs £10 more at launch than its predecessor, the Nokia 5.3, but it still manages to charge much less than the majority of 2021’s smartphone launches so far. Finally, it runs Android 10 – with an upgrade to Android 11 due to arrive shortly – and it also promises at least three years of security updates. A quad-camera array is on the back, which consists of a main 64MP camera, an ultrawide unit and a pair of macro and depth sensors. On the front of the Nokia 5.4 sits a 6.39in IPS display with a resolution of 1,560 x 720. An entry-level Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 powers the phone and it also has 4GB of RAM with 64GB of onboard storage, which can also take microSD cards up to 512GB in size. ![]() £114.49 Buy now Nokia 5.4 review: What you need to knowĬheaper than most phones, the Nokia 5.4 has suitably low-end specifications. ![]() One or two amusing expressions before surgery may be a great idea.Īs they say, laughter is the best medicine, and keeping patients in a sharp state of mind and high spirits will help them.

When you finish the game, you don’t think you’ve completed the game with a series of NPCs, but rather with a bunch of good friends.Īnd it’s not just the characterization of them. This has also made the character-building of companions more authentic and organic. And all of this is thanks to the effort the team of writing has put into the game to consider and add every possible dialogue a person could say in a certain situation. Now add some great character-building, unique lore, a good story, and some of the most realistic companions you can find in RPG games. Rather than making a massive map, they decided to create many smaller areas which gave them the freedom to create more different and unique locations that may not have been possible if all the map was attached to one another. There is something else that has helped Obsidian to create better quests and that is its unique design of the open world. ![]() Not only the design of each quest is marvelous, but how each quest and side quest connects which other and is intertwined like a big spider web is truly fascinating. Speaking of quests, Obsidian has once again shown why it is one of the best RPG makers in the video game industry. You can easily navigate through the menus of the game, which weapons you want to carry, and of course the long list of quests you get in the game that each has been categorized to help you prioritize which quests you want to complete first. The more important thing about customizing your weapons in Outer Worlds is that you can easily understand what you are doing and whether it is going to work for your style of play or not.Īnd it’s not just the weapons customization, the whole UI of the game is simple and easy to grasp. It’s not just the variety but also all the extra perks you can add to your weapons such as electricity or burn damage which broadens the categories of weapons even more. The gunplay and combats of the game are satisfying and the good variety of enemies, as well as weapons in the game, keeps it fresh until the end. It’s not game breaking issue but it is really getting frustrating to see so many studios not put enough time to polish the PC version of the game.īut on the good side, Outer Worlds is still a fantastic game thanks to its core gameplay and amazing lore. somehow the game puts too much pressure on your hardware, even if your PC has high-end hardware. So if you have already played the original version of the game, there is a good chance you won’t see much of a difference from your previous experience to the new one.Īnd the performance issues aren’t just the frame drops. Maybe I would have let this slide if the visual enhancements were really good, but unfortunately, you wouldn’t notice the difference match, unless you put the two versions side by side. There are many times you will get insane frame drops if you go from a closed location to an open area or the location you are is packed with NPCs. Since they have tweaked the visuals a little bit, the game now requires better hardware to run smoothly which is where the main problem of the PC version of Spacer’s Choice Edition shows itself. As far as the word enhancement goes, you won’t get a groundbreaking visual upgrade in this version of the game. ![]() The biggest changes in the Spacer’s Choice Edition are mostly the visual enhancement for the new generation of consoles and also PCs. Recently a new edition of the game called Spacer’s Choice Edition has been released that contains all the DLCs and also some visual improvements for new hardware. Their latest AAA game was Outer Worlds, where you get to travel through different colonies and planets in order to help a scientist named Phineas Vernon Welles fight against the corruption of a mega-corporation called The Board and also find the necessary items and tools to help him fix the dire situation he mistakenly created.
