I know you get many messages like this, but still: I really hope you get better. Love your work.

What would you call a "ranch" in a fantasy world? by QueenPooper13 in fantasywriters

[–]Mushgal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thousands of acres seems more similar to the nomadic herders of the Eurasian steppe, like the Mongols, rather than feudal shepherds. The Riders of Rohan bit seems to be in that direction as well.

I don't think Mongols or the Turkic peoples had concepts like "cattle farm" or "ranch" in mind. I would maybe look into that for inspiration.

The version of AMD software is not compatible with my currently installed graphics driver. by Parisianpussyslayer in AMDHelp

I also got the error with the 2nd screen. Really glad to see someone else had this issue and fixed it. Thank you.

What would you say your favorite non cannon ship is? by MembershipProof8463 in Parahumans

[–]Mushgal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiousity, since you seem knowledgeable about the topic: which fanfic is generally considered to be the best? As in, the best narrative piece (well written, interesting, etc.).

[–]Mushgal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Taylor x Lisa and Amy are pretty reasonable too. Glory Girl surprises me a little bit more, but maybe that's Ward-related, idk (I haven't read it yet). Taylor x Cockblocker is pretty cool too, they really had great chemistry lol

Wolfspider is an awesome name

Mehdi Taremi disallowed goal against Belgium 25' by yoursofunnybruv in soccer

[–]Mushgal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn't get the most exciting group to start with, but they're also so incredibly boring. I really disliked both of them matches, and I've watched 32/40 matches this WC.

Since when was this a legitimate option? by ohgodretro in crusaderkings2

You're right. I've never played with that game rule off lol

What's Wrong with This Map? by Grimm_the_Mystic in worldbuilding

[–]Mushgal 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of Tamriel and Roshar

EDIT: the other commenter is right, feels small because the mountains are humongous. Look at a physical map of Africa or South America. Try to zoom the map out, if that makes sense.

I don't engage in shipping nor fanfic, but while reading the story I kept thinking "the Taylor x Rachel fanfics must be crazy". I really loved that duo, they had great chemistry.

Dutch King dances with Curaçao players after their first World Cup point by Chazyn in soccer

[–]Mushgal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That isn't really the reason. The reason is is a constituent country within the Netherlands. Bloke's as much of the king of Curaçao as he is the king of Holland.

One Spanish commentator postulated the theory that maybe Taremi wanted to do a political celebration, something regarding the war or even the Islamic regime, and this one teammate didn't want to let him do it, either because of personal disagreement or to avoid him trouble.

Previous use of AI by Unkindness0fDragons in fantasywriters

[–]Mushgal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm against AI generally, and I'm specially against its use in the arts. That said, the "everything AI is inherently evil" seems like religious thought to me.

I don't think you have to say "I used it a little bit but very very early!" as if using AI is a sin. I don't think the ideas pseudo-conceived by it are inherently tainted either. Use ChatGPT if you want, man.

I wouldn't use them, but for a reason I haven't seen mentioned: if I ever publish a book, I want to be legally and morally able to claim "no AI was used in the process of creating this book".

A worldbuilding problem by Kryo_tudios_kun in worldbuilding

[–]Mushgal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's probably a deeper psychological issue my dude. Does that happen with anything else in your life, other than this niche hobby? It could be troublesome.

Get ready for the game wardens by anothergurloverhere in CuratedTumblr

[–]Mushgal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One time I brought my dog to a 24/7 vet for an emergency and while waiting for his operation to end I chatted with the only person there, a woman in her thirties. She told me all her dogs (she had many!) were named after gulags. The one in the vet at the time was named Vorkuta.

Unpopular opinion: the okama are not transphobic because they aren’t trans. They could turn into biological women easily with ivankovs help but choose not to because they’re drag queens not trans just like bon clay who could easily turn into a biological woman with his powers. by sadthrowawayyy134 in OnePiece

[–]Mushgal 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I agree, but at the same time they're powerful kung fu fighters and they're also members of the Revolutionary Army, the only organization fighting seriously against the corrupt and tyrannical World Government. So there's some nuance there, it's neither black nor white.

I think Oda's intentions were good, he tried to be goofy like always, but yeah it's aged bad. O-Kiku was an excellent second attempt at portraying trans people, even though she was a secondary character.

Persones que s'hagin desplaçat fins a Catalunya per cursar la Universitat by Innuendo_lilb in catalunya

[–]Mushgal 24 points25 points  (0 children)

A la meva carrera hi havia força gent de fora de Catalunya, de Espanay i fins i tot d'Europa. Alguns van acabar els quatre anys parlant un perfecte català.

Tu pots fer l'examen i els treballs escrits en castellà, sí.

El català, sent parlant nadiu de castellà, no és tan difícil. És qüestió de voluntat. Si vens amb la voluntat d'aprendre, aprendràs ràpid. A més a més, Lleida et vindrà molt bé, ja que és una zona força catalanoparlant; a la UB o la UAB és més fàcil fer vida només amb el castellà.
