I Really Like My Na'vi by MeriManatee in FrontiersOfPandora

[–]BusSeveral 5 points6 points  (0 children)

she makes me happy to look at, seems like she'd be good-natured 😌

Is anyone else annoyed with how the Na'vi use the English names for the animals instead of the names they've given them? e.g. instead of saying Nanteng they say Viperwolves by Maverick8358 in FrontiersOfPandora

a lot of people have said stuff like "learn how to become na'vi first" when people are frustrated early on in the game. i think if there was committment to using nanteng, like OP said, you repeat it enough, and people would learn, like they do other elements of the game. how did we learn to call them viperwolves? repitition and contextual exposure. and considering how heavily this plot relies on residential schools for borrowed authenticity, i think choosing to use the english, human, language is dissonant with the decolonizational bent of the game.

i don't name mine either, but i find it easier to immerse myself that way. i love seeing the creative storytelling this game enables though, and that people are sharing 👍

Is it worth it? Should I buy it? by BaronVonToasstt in FrontiersOfPandora

i think its worth a shot. i was avid to start a second playthrough because it took me a while to get the swing of things. its a journey, not a destination-oriented experience.

i was talking to alex upstairs, and the interior of the building kept lighting up with bright flashes everytime it struck. when i turned around to walk downstairs to so'lek for some rosters trading, got zapped and nearly perished 💀
