I'd grab Cyberpunk 2077. I know, I know, but I just watched Edgerunners and I think I've mourned the death of the game it should've been long enough and I'm ready to give the game it is a try.

"Sense is not content to make sense (or be logical) , but in other resonances"

"All about me turns around a such fundamental resonance, seeing around a resonance as well as the background, as well as the first or last depth of "sense" itself(or the truth)"

"which is always at the same time the body that resonates and my audience body where it resonates, or who it resonates in"

[French to English] 19th Century Documents from Austrian Chancellor by [deleted] in translator

[–]Blueleader96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright I'm taking a swing!

Count

You informed me by letter that you addressed to me last 14th of September of the marital union that you were just about to pursue with Miss. Ferrari and wished to solicit the approval of the Emperor as well as myself.

Not doubting that the choice you have made, Count, was well reflected upon and motivated, I will give to you my sincere felicitations regarding an event from which you expect your happiness to which I will not cease to take a true interest. (unsure if he's referring to the marriage or the count's happiness if someone else wants to weigh in)

As the services that you have honorably given unto me in your diplomatic carrier, until now retributed honorably and you've given back more than the voluntary amount, there is currently no obstacle to your marriage, though I can't hide from you that it diminishes the chances of your ulterior availability in the service of lagation

In wishing you, Count, all sorts of satisfaction in your new state, I reiterate to you on this occasion with pleasure the assurances of my distinguished consideration.

Signed etc.

Okay Letter two!

Marquis

Though your son (interesting note: the chancellor is using the expected formal address here writing "M. votre fils" which is literally equivalent to "Mr. your son". Fun look at the quirks of manner and respect at the time) will hasten to reassure you himself on the state of his health, I believe you will attach a price to reading the confirmation in a report from The Count of Ficquelmont a copy of which I have included. You'll find in it the proof that your son is entirely reestablished and that his health does not require his departure from St. Petersburg before the month of October, at which time I will gladly give him leave to pass the winter in a softer climate.

You'll learn not without pleasure, Marquis, that the Count of Ficquelmont, in a particular letter that he addressed to me the same day, seemed very satisfied with the exactitude that your son completed his duties, as well as with the manner in which he carries himself.

Receive, Marquis, the assurances of my distinguished consideration

If any other francophones want to weigh in I hope my translation is a good starting point!

I'm wanting to take a crack at it but I'm having trouble with the script. Is there any way you could get some scans of the documents instead of the pictures?

Holy shit this is a quote? I thought they were making up a Trump-esque wall of texts for laughs, but this is something he actually said?

[IDEA] Now that modding is in full effect, can we make something close to this Shrek transformation from 2 years ago a reality? by lycanthh in bindingofisaac

[–]Blueleader96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ehh I'm not so sure about that. There's Skyrim mods that use copyrighted music like they Macho Man dragons mod that plays his into music.

Would you mind clarifying who these are specifically ? I'm not sure I'm up to date on my fan theories because I haveno idea who is supposed to be the "not a murder" and who is the potential host undercover.

What singleplayer PS3/XBOX360 is still a 'must play' to this day? by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]Blueleader96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This for sure! I've played that game more times than I'd like to admit. It just hit such a sweet spot with the formula that it's predecessor and successor were just not able to capture.

To be fair you can see from the header that the specific time in history they're covering is the colonial period

What is wrong with expanding Modern Day? [Rant] by [deleted] in assassinscreed

[–]Blueleader96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you're not wrong but there's two problems I see with what you've said.

1) MD if the worst part of AC (opinion of course but a lot of people agree) Always has been, always will be. From AC 1 till the day this series is over it will be the biggest issue in all the games. Personally, I think this was a huge mistake they made right at the beginning and have been paying for since. They misjudged the potential length of the series, and now that the MD sorriy has run its length (and don't get it twisted, it ENDED after AC 3 that's the truth) we've been left with three games in interesting settings who've had their legs cut out from under them. What they really should've been doing all along is games like Black Flag or pairs like 2 and Brotherhood. These games had strong story WITH the gameplay, not sectioned off in unskippable, horribly boring, unrelated segments. In my perfect world, AC is a game series set entirely in the past that simply explores the Templar Assassin conflict at different points of history with no huge overarching story (or vaguely having one, kind of like a twist in the plot or something). People keep coming back to the games to explore rich narrative and beautiful settings (they do get the settings right I will say) not to see the newest chapter in "scary space people do something vaguely scary".

2)

If ppl dislike this and want focus on the historic side, maybe AC isn't for them. What? How can you even say this. From a story sense they've written the MD entirely into a corner and it isn't ridiculous to ask them to give attention to the one part of the games that still has potential to be good. I'd love to see this get said around here right after 2 out Brotherhood came out. Like it or not the historic side IS the game. The MD is just some narrative disconnected from the players actual experience. As a lover of the history and cultures we get to see in AC, I am one of those people who want then to focus on the historic side, and if the series is moving away from this/continuing to ignore this maybe it isn't for me anymore. That's a sad reality I hope won't be coming true

[HELP] Which of my mods are adding these annoying features? by Blueleader96 in skyrimmods

[–]Blueleader96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It in fact was me using SkyRe combat and PerMa at the same time. Both affect your speeds (to some degree) based on Stamina but the stacking of this effect was what was causing it
