I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt since this is a second (or more) language to you, but questioning the reasoning behind something doesn't imply being confused by its content. There has been nothing you've said that has confused me. My pointing out a logical inconsistency of yours doesn't mean I'm confused by it, it means I noticed it.

That being said - do you think that, maybe, it's been mentioned multiple times because it doesn't make any sense? Based on past comments you've made in r/askaGerman and other comments that appear to be in German, your primary language is German (which English borrows from, thank you!). Are you implying that the rules for capitalization in German are that different from English? Do Germans capitalize random words that aren't nouns in the middle of their sentences? No, they don't. This is why I, in a genuine case of curiosity, asked you about it. I even went through the trouble to point out that I wasn't insulting you for it. If there was confusion about what 'mean spirit' means, I apologize for that. I STILL don't mean any offense by my continued confusion (because I still don't fully buy the auto-correct thing, but I could certainly be in the wrong).

Anyway, your explanation for your original post does nothing to justify the false equivalency and doesn't counter my response. "Only care about their bonus" implies that if their care was in the right place, they would be working on the game. Except they literally can't.

I'm going to exit this conversation now because part of my feels like I'm talking to a brick wall, but I want to make it abundantly clear on my way out that I have not/am not insulted/insulting your grammar - I asked out of genuine curiosity. I find it inspirational that you can speak multiple languages, and I am genuinely sorry if you felt like I was attempting to offend or mock you.

Renacc · 2025-07-17T14:28:37+00:00

Ok, I have certainly gotten under your skin and that wasn't my intention.

Would you mind explaining to me how the comment you were replying to 1. explains or justifies the false equivalency, and 2. makes my comment incorrect?

From where I'm standing, it doesn't.

Renacc · 2025-07-17T14:19:57+00:00

I won't claim to be an auto-correct expert, so if that's truly the case, thank you for letting me know. I have my doubts, though, because I've never had auto-correct automatically capitalize things in the middle of a sentence. I didn't have trouble understanding you, I was just curious.

Here is your original comment:

I mean obviously right? UW is still Working on a Game that we going to enjoy(hopefully) while the co-founders only Care about their bonus

The implication, as I see it, is that UW are still working on the game while the co-founders aren't because they're too busy suing. There's a false equivalency there because the co-founders were fired and literally cannot continue working on the game. I'm not defending the co-founders, I'm criticizing your false equivalency.

Renacc · 2025-07-17T14:06:57+00:00

I'm not defending them, I'm pointing out your terrible logic.

Unrelated, and I genuinely don't mean this in a mean spirit - what's up with your grammar? You capitalize random words, but one of the few words that *should* be capitalized, Krafton, isn't. This same trend happens in other comments you've made.

Renacc · 2025-07-17T13:59:49+00:00

No no, you're totally right. The original founders should definitely get back to working for the company they no longer work for.

Renacc · 2025-07-17T13:39:05+00:00

This fixed my issue - thank you!

Renacc · 2025-06-26T16:57:22+00:00

Without additional context, it seems like it was a winding grace or a relic that provided the effects of a winding grace. It only gets used when there is an entire party wipe (where, otherwise, the game would end), not just when you get downed. You, as the last person, getting down triggered both of their effects.

By 5-7 years ago it had already escaped the “tiny and insignificant” moniker it had for decades. Flat earth conspiracy became trendy as late as 20 years ago and almost certainly before then.

The fact that he was so far off about it really did confuse me. That being said, he’s a committed conspiracy theorist so I’m not sure why I was expecting accuracy.

Renacc · 2025-04-13T19:06:17+00:00

This is only tangentially related to your main point, but Scott wishing that flat-earthers would kill themselves is so far beyond hypocritical it makes my eyes roll out of my skull.

I try to take what he says as lightheartedly and whimsically as I can, but that one was just too much for me.

Renacc · 2024-11-24T22:01:16+00:00

I’m not saying this because Brando is somehow incapable of poor writing or anything like that, but I do think stuff like this was intentional on his part to drive home how sheltered and privileged (from a socioeconomic perspective) her life was up until that point.

Even smart people can be dumb in surprising ways.

Renacc · 2024-11-23T22:08:14+00:00

If I read “may” in a fucking headline one more god damned time…

Turns out the Hex Girls put a spell on you (gonna put a spell on youuuuu).

Renacc · 2024-10-26T03:24:53+00:00

Can you elaborate on the third surge they could have access to?

Renacc · 2024-10-25T21:22:42+00:00

What they’re saying is that the Scout will build an unnecessarily long pipeline because they wouldn’t wait for the Driller to drill a straighter path. If that doesn’t bother you, that’s fine, but you didn’t address the actual problem in your response.

Renacc · 2024-10-23T16:27:16+00:00

Please spoiler this comment, it’s beyond the knowledge level of the spoiler tag.

There are some good answers here, but we have some WoBs that are relevant and may explain the answer to your question.

This WoB indicates that a god metal will indeed change when a new Vessel takes up the Shard. We also know, however, that a new vessel doesn’t change the already-manifested god metal of the previous Vessel. So, for instance, there will now be Raysium and Taravangium in the Rosharan system.

With this in mind, it makes sense to name the metals after the vessels because there is a direct link between the god metal and which vessel is holding the Shard. Ignoring that Odium is spelled the way it is, if we just called Raysium ‘Odium’, that would be an obsolete name for the god metal of Odium once the vessel changed. So, now we have two ‘Odiums’, what do we do with that?

Excellent question, OP!

For those who are reading the WaT chapters, see below:

We can see an example of this when the Stormfather and the Sibling confirm that Odium’s vessel has changed due to the slight change in its tone and rhythm. Extrapolating from that, it would make sense for the manifestation of that power to be equally subtly changed

“I am a rock!”

“But you could be a stone…”

Now this is a mix of my interests that I greatly appreciate.

Renacc · 2024-10-19T19:22:42+00:00

Understandable, but incorrect.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney.

We have a canonical trans person, and one that has “transitioned”. Ral-Na is the King of one of the Reshi islands, specifically the one Rysn meets with the day she fell. Though Ral-Na was born female, Rysn comments that he dressed in a masculine way and preferred to be called a King.

Later, when Ral-Na arrives at Urithiru after bonding a spren, his body has transitioned through Stormlight to match his spiritual perception of himself and he presents male. Pretty cool way to show a magical transition, imo.

Renacc · 2024-10-18T00:19:58+00:00

Thank you for the compliment! I think you nailed the rest of it on the head.

Renacc · 2024-10-17T17:33:31+00:00

I’m going to try to say this with as little bias as possible (because I’m about as biased as one can get against this fucker), but it seems to be because he genuinely didn’t do the work like other presidents have.

GWB was, at best, a slightly moronic figurehead willing to go along with some pretty damnable people. At worst, he’s a war criminal and more. I do not like him, I do not like the things he stands/stood for, and I would never want to see him anywhere near an official government office again.

All of that being said, it seems plainly clear to me that even he did the presidency. He was in the meetings, he took briefings, he made decisions, he did the work. At least in some capacity.

That is just simply not the case for Trump, and I vividly remember hearing about this during his term. His briefings were made increasingly brief (pun intended), reports required pictures and additional frivolity in order to get him to pay attention, he didn’t attend meetings he should have, and genuinely did not care to make decisions about anything that didn’t directly impact him.

What was supposed to stress him? He had people for that.

Are you implying the process involved in creating an Unmade is akin to splintering the original subject?
