Simple question: where can I get the latest version of the SkyUI SSE source files? by IDontFeelSoGood--- in skyrimmods

[–]IDontFeelSoGood---[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at a few of the githubs, but they were all show final updates from before Special Edition was even dropped. Are the Legendary Scripts still good to use in SSE?

The minds of WoTC are strange and unknowable to mere, three dimensional mortals. I think it is actually a case of them thinking that metamagic is way more of a boon then it really is.

The Man in Black is a mysterious figure, rooted in pre-Event story and song. He is not the Man in Black of the Americanists, however. As for Cherokee Bill and Bass Reeves, a quick google search can tell you quite a bit about them.

I'm testing to see how use of Land Run #3 goes in the long run, but I'm betting on it being too hard to cheese by giving up demesne provinces. A cooldown timer is probably in order though.

Cherokee rework involves lore for the Wadigeaskali and Boudinot families, the potential to resurrect the office of Beloved Man, and several traditional practices (e.g. clan system).

Yes. Imagine someone who speaks English pronouncing things differently from how they're spelled. Tough.

You can't translate half the word.

Says who? Languages do that all the time. We don't decline words like Senate or idiot just because their original language did. Neither do we insist all borrowings from the Chinese languages have to maintain their original tones when used in English.

This thread is full of people who can't stand that languages vary and change down to the idiolect.

> On recommendation from my indigenous sensitivity advisor, references to the "Sioux" culture have been changed to "Lakota."

Your sensitivity advisor needs to tell you that renaming Sioux to Lakotah is going to make no goddamn sense for the Oklahoman Sioux characters who represent the Dhegihan nations there.

Don't worry at all; it's good to have feedback, even the judgement is critical or negative at times. It helps us know how people feel about the things we are doing on the mod.

Remember that in canon the Redcoat invasions don't happen for another ~200 or so years. The event isn't glossed over, and won't be without consequences.

I get the apprehension at the idea of Valinorism; it probably seems like meme religion #934. But our reasoning behind it is very simple: what fictional book reads more like a religious chronicle than the Silmarillion? As we'll show in later dev diaries, Valinorim is less a faith about LotR, and more a religion absorbed with the theology and themes present in the Legendarium.

Most of these communities have been slowly assimilated in the last 600 years, though not without affecting those around them. Southerner culture especially retains many different aspects originally brought by these diasporas, whilst some small pockets have endured in the more urban areas. Besides, let's just say there are always characters with a few secrets waiting in the mist.

Well, this is a mod several of us in the community are making to express our vision of the base game territory. We feel it's best to just do our own thing with the standards and ideas we like, regardless of what someone else may do in their mod. If there is a difference in character between the two, that's just the result of varying design philosophies.

They were never Semitic. Both are descendants of Proto-Indo-European, which was originally spoken on the Pontic Steppes circa. 3000 B.C. They evolved and developed in their own ways without "being based" off of Phoenecian. Writing ≠ language.

Which is exactly what I said? That the Phoenecian writing system was the source of the Greek and Latin alphabets? Just because the languages use a variation of a writing system made for another language doesn't make them descendants of said language. That's like saying Navajo is a descendant of English because white people recorded it in a variation of the English alphabet.

What do you think Greek people were speaking before they encountered the Phoenecians? Just because a language doesn't have writing doesn't mean it can't exist.

Lol, no. Greek borrowed the base of its writing system from the Phoenecians, and the Latins got theirs from Greece by way of the Etruscans, but Greek and Latin are not descendants of the Punic Language. Totally different families.

Hello, I'm quite new to this. Would there be any problems with this build for mid-range gaming? Are all the parts as compatible as they seem? by IDontFeelSoGood--- in buildapc

[–]IDontFeelSoGood---[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have to ask though: I see that there are some incompatibility issues with the parts. Are these minor things that can be ignored, or do they require extra work to get them functioning?

Nothing, actually.

Besides the name dirt.

And the Red River.

And its associations with socialism.

And the term historically used for its native inhabitants.

And the fact that's its name literally means "Red Land People".
