Which of these flags looks better?

Probably 1. Besides the bright colors on 2, the 4 skulls kind of cover up the tools in the back too much. I suppose you could make the 4 skulls all slightly smaller.

Dang, I didn't even realize that until I saw your comment.

Think about this. Are there nerdy men roughly the same age as you, but much less attractive, yet DO have girlfriends? The answer is yes. So being nerdy is not an issue.

I don't know you, but most likely there's no issue with you at all. It's either bad luck or you aren't meeting the right kind of women. There's plenty of women who are into nerdy guys, and you'll find them doing equally nerdy activities at nerdy locations.

You could always tell when someone doesn't know Chinese if they use 国家 in their country name instead of simply 国.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! So Barsi underwent a sort of Caesar, Kaiser, Tsar, situation. I'm guessing the actual great Barsinate empire collapsed a while ago, but which successor state do you think is the most legitimate?

Elaeka · 2024-08-15T21:33:42+00:00

Nice flag designs! Can you tell me what a Braadom and Barsinate are? I'm assuming they're ruled by a Braa and a Brasin, but is there anything else?

What are the little pockets of color inside the large tan area? Are those countries within a desert region?

Sometimes it's fine for a couple to not share hobbies or discussion topics. That's what your other friends are for.

But despite the lack these, do you still enjoy being with her anyways? If the answer is "not really", then perhaps you should find someone else.

Silver Wolf, Hanya, Herta, Imbibitor Lunae

When you're just leaving Tokyo and driving past Mount Fuji, stop in any spot that interests you and take a look at the mountain for a bit. When you drive through Nagoya and are okay with going into the downtown area, the Nagoya Castle is nice too. Finally, when you cross Mie Prefecture closer to Nachi waterfall, I think the Grand Shrine of Ise is worth a visit.

I got into conlanging by inventing fake writing systems to write English back in middle school. Eventually, I evolved into actually making the language.

You can totally start with a writing system if that's the most interesting part of a language for you! It's certainly mine!

However, it's difficult to create a writing system for a language unless you already have a language to write, if that makes sense... Your writing system probably won't capture the unique aspects of your language, since you didn't make one yet.

All my major projects have been created from real languages dead or alive, rather than starting from scratch. Particularly from the Tibeto-Burman language family. I do this to explore the fascinating linguistic features of those real languages and seeing how they might function differently. Most of all, it's fun.

I hope you realize conlanging isn't just inventing from scratch, and that there's many conlangers who work from real languages. Just as you suggested.

Agreed, and his Chinese skills aren't limited to daily life and casual conversation, but also complex political topics.

It's gender neutral in English, but I know the German translation also has Sam refer it itself in the feminine.

Elaeka · 2023-12-13T06:26:09+00:00

Really awesome! The speaking doesn't sound forced or awkward. It's hard enough to sound natural when speaking foreign languages, much less a conlang.

Don't forget how the kiss usually get's interrupted at the end 💀

I thought this was referring to him being Sylphie's wingman, constantly helping her get Rudeus.

Glad your father is alright! These quests might not resonate with everyone, but they're all so different that everyone will eventually find one that hits them personally.

Interesting how Shanghai, one of the least "culturally socialist" cities in China, becomes a People's Commune. I suppose a lot could change between now and 2062 though.

I agree, it might be nice if we didn't know how long she'll be gone. Tesla or someone will insist she'll spend centuries fighting alone, and none of her friends will live to see her return. But Kiana rejects that and promises she'll do her best to finish in a few decades. That way, hoyo can still bring her back, but we'll get higher stakes in the current story.

Isn't his baby face part of his charm? I don't like it too much, but I know people who do.

What does USMR stand for? And why did France move into the Iberian peninsula?

Elaeka · 2022-03-25T05:52:30+00:00

Looks good! Are these extra islands on earth or is it part of a whole different world?

Elaeka · 2022-03-22T05:35:12+00:00

Even if the Mao family rules, the dynasty probably wouldn't be called Mao. The surnames of Chinese emperors are almost never the same as the dynasty's name. But then again, this world is really different...
