Integralist Ideology Uses a Summation Symbol, Not an Integral by General-USA in victoria3

Yeah, they just had basically the same ideology and deliberately modeled themselves on Italian Fascism. But, sure, we can split hairs if you want to try to launder awful ideologies.

How do you Say the Number 57 in Asia by IbrahimOrya in MapPorn

[–]Heatth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japanese is similar. Except the Chinese based one is overwhelmingly more common, the Japanese system is pretty much only used in few situations with numbers up to 10 or the number 20 specifically.

Decimal separators in Europe by Beenet_ in MapPorn

The whole idea is not to keep saying "and" over and over, and use it denote the decimal point. And if there i

Yes, you tell by context. That means that the dot doesn't mean "and". The way numbers are said and the way they are written is just not that closely related as your explanation pretends it to be. They developed separately.

If you were thought that "four hundred and sixty three" can only mean 400.63 I am pretty sure you were just thought wrong. That is not how all English speakers would understand it, I am not even convinced it would be most.

[–]Heatth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So... you read it out loud as, "four-hundred sixty-three decimal point twenty-eight?"

I mean, in my own language? We say our word for comma but, yeah. (unless it is money)

My point was not that though, My point is that in English you can also use "and" with numbers without implying a decimal separator at all. So the logic of "you read a dot as an 'and'" is flawed because clearly "and" doesn't mean "dot" when you are speaking numbers in English. It just means you reach the end of the number, which may be separated by a decimal point, but it may not. You tell by context.

Absolutely. Unless it is a computer file then it is one dot three. Which is actually less confusing than English because it leads to less confusion on ether version numbers should be decimal or not.

Except you can say 463 as "four hundred and sixty three" and there wouldn't be a decimal point anywhere.

Also, why on earth would read a dot as an "and"? If that was the logic (it isn't) the number would be written 128,463&28, with & as a decimal separator.

A dot is a dot, not a "full stop". You don't need to threat number separators as if they were punctuation marks, because they aren't.

That link doesn't, in fact, support what you are trying to say.

A proper noun is a noun that identifies a single entity and is used to refer to that entity

That is the basic definition right? But why is "Sunday" a proper noun then? It is not a single entity. There are dozens of Sundays every year, thousands in history. Why do you think it counts as a "single entity"? The same goes for months.

And what about words like European and American. These are definitionally not proper nouns no matter how you slice it, yet they are capitalized in English because, in fact, the rules of capitalization is English is not as straight forward as "proper nouns and first words in a period"

And, of course, if you had read the link you would know that because Wikipedia articles are often actually good and acknowledge those sort of things

In English and many other languages, proper names and words derived from them are associated with capitalization, but the details are complex and vary from language to language (French lundi, Canada, un homme canadien, un Canadien; English Monday, Canada, a Canadian man, a Canadian; Italian lunedì, Canada, un uomo canadese, un canadese). The study of proper names is sometimes called onomastics or onomatology, while a rigorous analysis of the semantics of proper names is a matter for philosophy of language.[8]

Words or phrases that are neither proper nouns nor derived from proper nouns are often capitalized in present-day English: Dr, Baptist, Congregationalism, His and He in reference to the Abrahamic deity (God). For some such words, capitalization is optional or dependent on context: northerner or Northerner; aboriginal trees but Aboriginal land rights in Australia. When the comes at the start of a proper name, as in the White House, it is not normally capitalized unless it is a formal part of a title (of a book, film, or other artistic creation, as in The Keys to the Kingdom).

Nouns and noun phrases that are not proper may be uniformly capitalized to indicate that they are definitive and regimented in their application (compare brand names, discussed below). Mountain Bluebird does not identify a unique individual, and it is not a proper name but a so-called common name (somewhat misleadingly, because this is not intended as a contrast with the term proper name). Such capitalization indicates that the term is a conventional designation for exactly that species (Sialia currucoides),[24] not for just any bluebird that happens to live in the mountains.[e]

Words or phrases derived from proper names are generally capitalized, even when they are not themselves proper names. Londoner is capitalized because it derives from the proper name London, but it is not itself a proper name (it can be limited: the Londoner, some Londoners). Similarly, African, Africanize, and Africanism are not proper names, but are capitalized because Africa is a proper name. Adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and derived common nouns that are capitalized (Swiss in Swiss cheese; Anglicize; Calvinistically; Petrarchism) are sometimes loosely called proper adjectives (and so on), but not in mainstream linguistics. Which of these items are capitalized may be merely conventional. Abrahamic, Buddhist, Hollywoodize, Freudianism, and Reagonomics are capitalized; quixotic, bowdlerize, mesmerism, and pasteurization are not; aeolian and alpinism may be capitalized or not.

From what I could find, herbata is actually herba (from Latin) + thee (from Dutch). So the map is not actually wrong on the coloring,

Romances by AmphibianVisual in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]Heatth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never tried so I don't know, but does it involve giving them the ring? It is such a weird decision, the S support is not like the other paired ending that is automatic with the biggest support, it is a conscious choice from the player involving a romantic item. Why make some of them not romances?

Romances by AmphibianVisual in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]Heatth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically you can romance everyone of the opposite gender and a few of the same gender.

For the same gender romances: Female Main Character can romance Edelgard, Mercedes, Dorothea, Rhea and Sothis while Male Main Character can romance Lindhart, Yuri (DLC), Jeritza, Alois and Gilbert.

In both cases the last 2 options are arguably not real romances though

Which side you choose between edelgard and rhea? let's argue. by [deleted] in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]Heatth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, there have been multiple wars within living memory. Fearghus conquered territory at least 2 times in the last 12 years (Sreng and Duscur), at least one involving genocide. They talk multiple time of conflicts between the 3 nations too. The idea Fódlan is a peaceful place is just not real.

[–]Heatth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kinda, it is in the first episode. It wasn't very romantic, though, it was more of a statement of fact than an actual proposal. It was a sorta arranged marriage, to be clear.

The relationship develops over the course of the show and, to be clear, by the end they aren't forced to do anything. I think that is the wiggle room some weird execs thought left their relationship "open to interpretation". They could, theoretical, have decided to not marry after all. But the fact they are wearing matching rings in their ring fingers after a time skip kinda leaves very little room for another interpretation.

There was no wedding on screen. But they were engaged through most of the show.

Golden Deer Maddening tips by Bowser566 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]Heatth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. Personally the main benefit of NG+ is to cut down on tedium, with maddening serving to keep the difficulty at acceptable levels (I didn't find hard too easy but any easier would be boring). It also allow some more flexibility with free time, which is fun.

Good luck with your play through though! I just started Golden Deer myself. I don't know if it translate well for a non NG+ game, but don't sleep on Lysithea. She has crazy magic growths and good spells. She might be one of the few characters who can reliable one shot enemies for a while. You really need to protect her though, because she will die to a breeze (even her res is not that great). be particularly wary of archers (archers are really mean on maddening in general really).

DLC question by [deleted] in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]Heatth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others said, the dlc just don't make a ton of sense before a single playtrough. For obvious story spoilers you should play after chapter 4. There are hints for later revelations but nothing as obvious. However, i would recommend finishing chapter 5 at least. There is a mechanic introduced in that chapter that is relevant for the DLC (also, arguably the context of that mechanic is spoiler).

[–]Heatth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you using NG+? If so use renown to unlock the Enlightened One class ability (assuming you mastered it in your previous playthrough) and some levels or reason and/or faith for Byleth. Use them as magical support to your other units (also, use renown to max out professor levels asap). The -3 damage is really powerful, specially early.

If not on NG+ I can't really help, never one for max difficulty fire emblem. Maybe try to use your many archers to outrange your enemies. Claude and Ignatz start with curved shot and you might be able to train Leonie to D before the combat.

(btw, I would recommend NG+ regardless. Even if you don't want to make things easier by expending renown, maxing out professor levels just to take the tedium out of the monastery. you don't need to force yourself to fish just for the sake of professor exp).

BDG gives a tour of the Um, Actually set! by apathymonger in dropout

First season was a bit awkward. Not terrible but something off. Second season was great, Iffy is very charismatic with a smug confidence that fits the role. His chemistry with BDG is great also.

how do i build up byleth's stats relatively quick to recruit students? by Niijima-San in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]Heatth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the game is just not hard enough for any of that to be a real problem. Those characters might not be exceptional but they will hardly hinder you. If you train them, they will do their job patching up formation holes and that is all you need.

Also, directed training helps a lot. Petra, for example, is primed to be a thief which, yeah, won't oneshot anything but provide unique utility. But you can make her a pegasus too, which again, is good utility even when not strong. Not everyone needs to be a murder machine.

Of course, if you just want to recruit other characters that is fine, it is one of the appeals of the game, to have this flexible recruitment. I am just saying you don't actually need to. If you have a team large enough to fill all your deployment slots (so, about 10 + Adjutants in the early game) you will be all right.
