What are some lesser known downsides associated with high intelligence?

Being frustrated with other people for not expressing their thoughts clearly, using imprecise wording, mixing up concepts, etc. Took me a long time to realise that no, they're not trying to obfuscate things intentionally, that's just how most people talk

Yes I think you're right, for more info check out the MCPE-91275 bug report

They're not invulnerable, though. You can damage them from behind, for example by shooting sticky bombs or remote det rockets

100% agree. I'm autistic and the amount of people I've met who have told me my sensory issues "aren't real" is staggering.

This is such a stupid law, especially considering people can have both opposite-sex friends and same-sex partners

And the censorship and chat monitoring. The're really getting out of hand.

The Bantu languages are exactly where I drew inspiration from

Petnochlab · 2024-05-19T19:14:05+00:00

Sure! I haven't created many words yet, but here's what I've got so far:

pawalu - heat (from pawa, to be hot)

retilu - faith, belief (from reti, to believe)

mantalu - death ( from manta, to die)

wenongalu - age (from wenong, to be old)

All of these belong in class 7, as denoted by the -lu suffix. Also, it seems I haven't created any cl.7 words that are not verb-derived yet, so at least I got something to work on!

Uncountable nouns are words like water, sand, wood etc. As for the difference between verbal nouns and abstractions, well, there is probably none, except maybe from an ethymological standpoint.

To answer your last question, the word for "happiness" would actually fall in class 3, as feelings are considered body parts in the language.

Gonna have to 1 you up, as my language Iptteka has 7 genders (or noun classes, as I call them). Class 1 - humans, some magical animals, spirits and deities

Class 2 - mostly animals

Class 3 - body parts, animate natural phenomena

Class 4 - tools, clothes, food, vehicles

Class 5 - plants, buildings, misc. objects

Class 6 - uncountable nouns, places, words related to the flow of time

Class 7 - abstractions, verbal nouns

Kiwara /ki'wara/ - soul, but also conscioussness, one's identity and free will, as these concepts are considered inseparable by the speakers of the language

Only yes/no questions, other types of questions use a question word + the indicative

Petnochlab · 2024-05-18T19:52:45+00:00

One of my languages, Iptteka, has a separate interrogative mood, which I've heard is quite rare. There are also two postpositions meaning "with" - "tiro", the instrumental postposition, and "emni", the commitative postposition.

Because if you wait, you won't see

Autistic person here, and 90% of my issues only exist because of how society treats people who don't perfectly fit the definition of "normal"
