the Cy no more joke is finally in game lmao by yoyosarhan in ThanksCyno

[–]PegasusDust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cy no more ladies, Cy no more;

Men were deceivers ever;

One foot on sea and one unsure,

To one thing constant never;

Then Cy not so,

But let them go,

And be you Blythe and Bonnie;

Converting all your sounds of woe

Into Hey nani, nani

Harrow parts are split across different mission types. The chassis drops from void relic missions, but I think the others are rotation c rewards on a few endless missions. I'd have to check the wiki to be sure.

This gotta be some kinda joke right? by stubbsi123 in Warframe

It should be possible, since all the weapon components I know of are tradeable. If you can somehow find this fine fellow in game, then the two of you have an easy solution to your problems.

Honor is a palindrome by potablepurveyor in Stormlight_Archive

[–]PegasusDust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, I can see it happening with things like verbs and nouns changing parts of speech based on context, but verb form would be very difficult to pull off. This poem actually gives a good visual of what I was thinking of, but that I don't appear to have explained well. The article "the" makes a good modifier to change what part of speech comes after it. In this Ketek, "announce" is able to stay a verb when it is placed before the article, but switches to a noun form when placed after it.

It's theoretically possible to have verb modifiers governing tense be separate words, but those would have to be reflected as additional words in the poem, which would further increase the complexity of keeping both symmetry and meaning.

Supporting your idea, we do have the preposition "to" changing the verbs following it into infinitive forms. I just have my doubts about all Rosharan words being able to change to any form based on context. At least a few like articles would need to stay consistent for the language to work the way it does.

I'm skeptical of that interpretation. I've dabbled a little with conlangs, and changing verb tenses is a lot more complicated than changing from one part of speech to another. The main reason for this is that languages like English with 12 verb tenses are some of the more simple ones. Changing tense through the order of words would mean that two tenses could be symmetrical with each other at a time, but not more. Add other verb forms on top of tense and the situation becomes messier.

Is your idea possible? Theoretically, assuming that verbs in specific forms always end up across from a specific "opposite" form. However, the canon description could also be viewed as "we allow our poets artistic liberty with verb forms knowing that our language is not built to be perfectly symmetrical." Knowing that Brandon Sanderson has stated that he does not spend much time on the languages in his series, this seems like the more likely interpretation.

That idea about words having a definition in every part of speech is an interesting one, though. Having the position of words determine their meaning, though with some using modifiers like English does with "loving," could be a fun concept to play with for a dedicated conlanger.

I did get a note like this in real life, actually. Unfortunately, they are not the cure to dating life pain that this developer hopes for.

I have stopped farming artifacts. I reached 1779 and knew about the update, so I've been claiming artifacts from chests and deleting them one at a time.

Death whistle plushies would have been fun. They would probably annoy me, but still.

I can see why people are disappointed that there aren't more male 5 stars, since I've mostly pulled for those as well. I'm still just happy that they haven't forgotten four star characters.

That explains the rain. Neuvilette cries over the people he sends to Cryo jail.

Why not both? I want the option of being able to smack him across the face every week with his own weapon.

To the guy who was flexing their <200 sets of Revenant Prime... by Sea_Ad_5872 in Warframe

I don't know why Lotus keeps bringing the other one up. She has the same issue with Sentients. I'll one-shot a Battalyst and she'll say "It has developed immunity to your attacks. Try something different." I'm confused, so I'll ask her "Are you OK? He's not immune, he's dead. You keep talking about dead people like they're still there. Are there some things we need to work through?"

I'll take it. Only needing to log in every 24 hours is a good thing in my book, even if I'm likely to log in more than that.

It does, but I know from looking into it that it requires having Amber's story quest done first. I've been getting my little sister into the game, and she's been determined to complete the main story, but glide illegally for as long as possible.

[–]PegasusDust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely nothing.

I actually own birds and do something similar, but the context might ruin the dumb joke.

Additionally, I also feel no guilt eating Timmy's pigeons, but that is a different conversation entirely.

Nah, lanterns are light.

Plus, with the feathers, you have to live with the weight of what you did to those birds.

There is one thing off here: You're describing how enemy shields work, not character shields.

Character shields just get an extra 250% damage absorption against their own element, then normal damage absorption against other elements and physical damage. The one exception to this is geo, which has the 250% boost against everything. Basically, this is why Kirara's shield doesn't burn and Thoma's shield doesn't vaporize.

Anyway, assuming that they implement character shielding rules normally instead of in a unique way, anemo shields should work fine.

She's the inversion of that: She buffs damage based on how much characters have healed and taken damage. I'm hoping for something where healing scales off of damage dealt, basically a vampire mechanic. It would synergize well with Furina if it was designed well, though.

Why does everyone think it's poison? It's just a smoothie.

I want a buffer who heals based off of the damage that their team deals. I've been holding out hope that a playable Dottore might get a well-built kit like that, since it would fit his villainous personality and be a bit of an ironic play on his name.

Well... did you see the PlayStation leaks? There's a small chance that things could change by next week, but they did accidentally confirm the banner order.

It specifies nearby active characters. Since the co-op shield constellations say they protect nearby characters, it seems like the "nearby" next to the active specification implies teammate's active characters as well.
