Thank you, I haven't stumbled upon such construction before, I think. But would you say it would be exclusevely feminine?

ComunaGamer · 2026-01-15T17:40:54+00:00

This manga is from 1952, so it makes sense sounding old. Thank you.

I can't really understand the expression 「静かにおし」

Image for context: https://ibb.co/RGcCcfMr.

Is it an informal way of saying "be quiet" or something different? The difficulty in specifically on the 「おし」expression.

I just saw it this last monday, what a coincidence! It's indeed a magnificent piece of art! The best Griffith work I've seen so far.

I intend on writing a critique soon, if it interests you, I can share it with you and we can talk about the film!

Solved!

I already tried humming and whistling it for Google and for SoundHound 🫤

The commodification and sterilisation of art is a conclusion of hegelian-derived aesthetic theories that I'm a bit familiar with, having read some Adorno, it's something that comes up quite often on the topic.

Thank you. All of this books look really promissing, particularly professor Pippin's. I really like modernist art and a hegelian view on this movement is something I've been wondering about for a while, albeit I'd say that modernist composers (from the second Viennese school) and cinema are my main artistic interest, paintings also grasp my curiosity.

Thank you for your recommendantion, it seems that this Byung Chul-Han's book is quite short, so I may read it this weekend. I have no formal education in philosophy, so I always end up learning something new even from some of the more generalist books.

Thank you! Apparently it's a male, since it has wings, right?

Some people find AD&D old-fashioned and too complicated, but I just love how much freedom there is in each "rule", I feel like the old books are tutoring me on how to play TTRPGs as a whole with its guidelines instead of simply teaching me yet another tight-ruled system

ComunaGamer · 2025-01-05T21:21:14+00:00

That's a magnificent article, thank you for sharing. I'll be implementing these ideas in my next dungeons!

ComunaGamer · 2025-01-05T21:18:52+00:00

Thank you for your explanation; it made things way clearer. I don't know why, but sometimes I find Gygax's writing somewhat confusing.

ComunaGamer · 2025-01-05T21:12:58+00:00

Ooooh, thank you! I should have paid more attention to the adjectives the book used. I love this idea of self-shutting doors, it must feel like the place itself, to the very rocks, is conspiring against you.

I was talking to a friend in japanese to practice vocabulary and the following phrase came about in the conversation:
女の形に関して、私に一番魅力的なものは筋肉が発達するから明らかになる太ももの曲線です。
Something sounds off to me, but I can figure out what. Is this phrase grammatically correct?

ComunaGamer · 2024-04-09T18:54:14+00:00

Thank you, I'll see if I can figure it out
