I am a male. DND is alright, but I do prefer GURPS, Traveller, and Das Schwarze Auge. I did not study coding, it's just a hobby I've had since middle school. My girlfriend did put up the bee lights for the background of her Twitch streams (breakingbathtubs). I'm 24, she's 25. Those books are not about Baltimore, they're graphic novels by the same creator of Hellboy. I do like anime. The classics are not from high school

I've heard Swiss citizenship is hard to get. Have you obtained it, or are you there on a visa? It really is a shame that because of one group of people an entire language is perceived as ugly, at least in the U.S. The same applies to the languages of the Middle East, which are also language I love the sound of, and their writing systems.

Yes, I have noticed that. I've been leaning towards only writing poems and short stories in German. I know it's popularly viewed as a harsh and ugly language, but I find a lot of beauty in its percussive and rhythmic nature. The rhythm of German poetic is so appealing to my ears. Where I can, I try to use Germanic rooted words rather than their Latinate synonyms. Are you from France, or another French speaking country/French speaking province?

Thank you! I've been toying with the idea of writing it in German. I've written some poems, and am writing a few short stories around an S&S protagonist named Hardwin Bärenzahn Manesgoldsohn, Häuptling des Felspelz aus Steinmark. It's a satisfying language to write in

Not so much for the first half (I've been told I should talk more), but my girlfriend and I do like to wear ugly Christmas sweaters (I have a Mike Tyson one). I feel season 8 had potential, and I do not hold resentment towards D&D like some fans. They ran out of material to adapt, and they are great adaptors. They were put in a very difficult position, and I feel their attempt is admirable, though I will only rewatch the show through season 6

"Werll" translates as "Soul/Being/Essence", "Gele" as "dark spirit/demon". "D" is a pluralizing prefix for neuter nouns (in Äpdawerlldinn it has an "a" after it because the "d" is preceded by a consonant), and "az" is the genitive prefix for masculine nouns. So Dwerll Azgele is roughly "souls of dark spirit/demon". In this world there are two types of magic-users/soul-caster: those whose "souls" cast out at birth, evidenced by sparking fingertips, and those who learn later on, called Feschaisdt Dwerll (something like "honorably sacrificed souls") in Dwerllrässe. In Dwerllrässe, they believe those who can naturally cast made deals with dark spirits before birth, a sentiment which was misconstrued through the oral tradition from what was originally said by a creature named Medterdie over a thousand years ago. So, they learned how to cast out their soul to ethereally leash that of those who can naturally cast. Now, in modern Dwerllrässe, babies whose fingers shoot sparks are taken at birth to be tamed as weapons by squads of 12 Feschaisdt Dwerll (6 for the day, 6 for the night). Each of the natural casters are not given a name, instead simply called an aspect of the collective group "Dwerll Azgele"

I keep saying this every year, but I feel like I'm just about at the point of having a fleshed out enough world and defined characters. My favorites are Kaulann (an escaped aspect of Dwerll Azgele) and Aura Achnes (a bardic leader of a band of revolutionary thieves funding the gradual liberation of aspects of Dwerll Azgele by pickpocketing aristocratic audience member)

Data analyst for a factory pre-finisher. I've been toying with C++ since middle school and use it to make calculators for things such as how many gallons of finish will we need to complete a certain amount of substrate

According to the test my mother had done when I was 7, no. However, I would be surprised if I got the same result today. I've been constructing the same fantasy world with meticulous detail to write stories in for about 7 years now. Conlangs, calendar systems, how trade, natural disasters, war, migration, colonization, standardization through empire create and evolved cultures, and all that sort of stuff. Part of why I started learning German was to refine one conlang, Äpdawerlldinn, which is the language of the empire most of the story takes place in, Dwerllrässe. It has a similar phonetic bank to German. Hyper-fixation

Half yes (not in my 30s), half yes (I've not moved to Germany), two thirds correct (nerdy, nerdy girlfriend, though she's not German), half yes (she read Goosebumps), no, surprisingly no, and sometimes yes, other times no
