Yeah, that kinda works but I don't like it. See my reply to the other comment.

Yup, that's my interpretation too. It just doesn't sit well with all the other operators.
All the others are phrased as direct questions about the values of A and B:
- A AND B = "Are A and B both true?"
- A OR B = "Are either A or B true, or both?"
- A NAND B = "Is (A AND B) not true?"
- A IMPLIES B = "Is it possible, hypothetically speaking, for it to be the case that A implies B, given the current actual values of A and B?"
You see the issue?
Edit: looking online, some people see it as: "If A is true, take the value of B." A implies that you should take the value of B. But if A is false, you shouldn't take the value of B, instead you should use the default value which is inexplicably defined to be true for this operation.
This is slightly more satisfying but I still don't like it. The implication (ha) that true is the default value for a boolean doesn't sit right with me. I don't even feel comfortable with a boolean having a default value, let alone it being true instead of false which would be more natural.
Edit 2: fixed a brain fart for A NAND B

I never got why "implies" is called that. How does the phrase "A implies B" relate to the output's truth table?
I have my own "head canon" to remember it but I'll share it later, want to hear someone else's first.
It appears that your habit for pedantic comments is as strong as ever!
Spoilers about Tunic's language
The writing in the game is actually an alternate way to write English phonetically/phonemically. So the game technically is in English but you can't understand it. There are guides on how to read it, but it always seemed like too much effort for me so I never did.
I'd probably go with the last option.
The answer IMO depends a lot on what kind of shop it is. Basically how scummy they are. Their refusal to refund the damaged pair makes them sound kinda scummy.
Even your title isn't the true beginning. Before the terminal, there was just a printer. Teletype, was it?
How do you know your view wasn't formed based on a successful propaganda campaign?
That's Peeta from Hunger Games... But female? Is this Katniss? What are they up to?!
I desperately want to know if this is:
- A toy factory actually finding a creative use for excess stock of the doll head
- A creative parent fixing their child's toy
- Just a joke for a meme
The comment you replied to is my response to this. It's the only boolean operation that works this way. All the others are straightforward.
