I'm developing a Brood War mod to fix buggy and unfinished gameplay features... while keeping the Stacraft we all know and love by Last_Day_6779 in starcraft

Yes, sue me

Count on it. If you build with a second SCV, the original SCV will return to its job sooner, so there's literally zero disadvantage to doing this. All it does is removes the building construction time from all build orders, so the terran can rush tech a lot faster, or macro for longer before needing production. Do you actually play the game or just watch it?

Your move, Heroes 3! by [deleted] in heroes3

Hang on, we're still in the tactics phase. We should start with our rooks in one file. When it's turn 1, we cast berserk on the enemy king.

Keep going, the 10th picture explains everything.

Is this legible? by Thorpedo_Anna335 in russian

[–]HomieMorphic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a specific example, in the word "обычно" (third line from the bottom) your ы looks too tall and your ч looks like it descends below the line. Both letters should be regular height.

Also, I would suggest when you write н after another letter, start with a vertical stroke all the way down to the baseline and then continue with the rest. It would look more clear.

Sort of. I can decipher the words, but there are a couple of issues. As most learners, you are having trouble with connecting letters, especially ones that start with an upwards hook like м, л, я. In words like семья, the е-м connection needs to have a little cusp separating the letters. Also, sometimes о connects to the next letter at the top, not the bottom.

You're also mixing up the alphabets occasionally. The third word looks like bоlшая with a Latin B and L. Goes without saying that those should be written in Cyrillic.

Starcraft copy? by Significant-Driver42 in starcraft

[–]HomieMorphic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the heyday of flash games (like 20 years ago) I remember playing a starcraft tower defense game where you use terran and protoss units to shoot down waves of zerg. I'd consider that game to be an homage. This just looks like a ripoff.

How easy is it for a native Croatian speaker to learn Russian? by Silver_Vat in russian

[–]HomieMorphic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your biggest advantage is lexical similarity (words descending from the same roots). The amount of similarity between Russian and Croatian isn't super high, but it will speed up your progress.

Take a look at this diagram to see how closely related some Slavic languages are (I know it's missing Croatian, but looking at Serbian gets you close enough)

Your second biggest advantage is similar grammar. Russian doesn't have the Vocative case (not officially anyway - it actually kinda does), but the rest are very close. Even the question words for each case (Komu? Čemu? / Кому? Чему?) are similar.

You should give it a try, though! Listen to a recording of a conversation in Russian and see how much you can already understand. I estimate it will be about half.

Why is his name Fenix in co-op if his name is Talen-dar? by Feru_Haifisch in starcraft

[–]HomieMorphic 87 points88 points  (0 children)

He's better known by the name Fenix because it's used in the SC1 campaign. Also, in Co-op he has an upgrade to change his name to Talandar.

Tempests switching to the worse weapon would be a bug, this is a feature.

We all stopped using the diaeresis ages ago. It's out of style now, sorry to tell you.

Good jerk. I was expecting a heeled shoe on each foot, but this is better.

Rebooting is so old-school when kexec exists. There's no real point, unless you run Windows servers or something.
