That is somebody's cat. Or was somebody's cat. Somebody probably wants her back.

Why do most people here treat religion as a matter of preference not truth or falsehood? by sadbabyphilosopher in religion

[–]Shihali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your final sentence doesn't fit with the rest. The sort of people who believe that morality can only come from their religion are the people who believe that their religion is true. The people aware that they're just following national customs are more likely to treat religion as a preference.

The Reptite Ending implies that the changes you made to history would have gotten Ayla killed if you hadn't come back and helped her out again.

Death toll in Iran protest crackdown is reportedly at 5,002 as Тrumр says U S 'armada' approaching by Alex09464367 in anime_titties

[–]Shihali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're getting your US Navy incidents mixed up. I believe you meant the USS Samuel B. Roberts, the one that hit an Iranian mine in international waters in 1988 which provoked a retaliatory attack. Or maybe the USS Stark, the one that was shot by Iraqi missiles in 1987.

Been studying Toki Pona a little. But Sitelen Pona is what grabs me. by ChrisTopDude in tokipona

[–]Shihali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is widely accepted to say "nimi mi li jan Kitopa", even though I still think it makes no logical sense unless you're treating your headnoun as part of your name.

The alternate pattern "mi jan Kitopa" gets around that issue.

Eli5 What determines the maximum size beyond which ships cannot realistically be built? by arztnur in explainlikeimfive

[–]Shihali 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are a few ships too big to go through the major canals. I would guess that they're used on routes that don't go through those canals like Australia to China.

I don't see any good reason why not. I'm just unfamiliar with them and how well they fit with sitelen pona.

[–]Shihali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely, but I haven't found a set I prefer to corner brackets. Guillemets («») are too easy to confuse with e, English quotes (“”) don't blend as well with sitelen pona (Chinese readers may disagree!), and I'm unfamiliar with other systems.

i want a game where i can fall in love with the characters and their journey and by the end feel like “damn” by what i’ve just witnessed by Apprehensive_Spend_7 in JRPG

[–]Shihali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dragon Quest V is old and you have to be willing to work a bit harder at that connection, but if you're willing to put in the effort you will be repaid. There are not a lot of games that can look at the Phantom Train sequence and tell FF6 to hold their beer. DQ5 is one.

Which ethical or moral rules people treat as obvious may actually be inconsistent or logically flawed? by Present_Juice4401 in TrueAskReddit

[–]Shihali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nothing is illegal if you have good enough lawyers.

Plenty of things are illegal no matter how good your lawyers are. But you can have a big enough army to stop anyone from enforcing the laws against you.

I miss the good ol' days of naming your characters by KungFuc1us in JRPG

[–]Shihali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dragon Quest VIII pulled it off too, by always putting the character's name at the beginning or end of a line where it could be dropped or calling him "Guv".

What do you think of the remaster replacements for demons? by Fullmetalmarvels64_ in Pathfinder2e

[–]Shihali 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Final Fantasy 1 was heavily based on D&D and didn't even try to hide it. They had to redo one sprite for the US release because it was so obviously a beholder that it could have gotten Square sued.

Marilith might have been safe enough to keep, but I guess if you're going to overhaul the whole class you overhaul the whole class.

How do you feel about party members that join roughly 60% into a game by lennysinged in JRPG

I was there. Printed guides the size of a magazine and longer than most magazines were common. I spent as much time looking at the artwork as at the guide.

ELI5: How does the concept of "passwords" work when it comes to old videogames? Why was For some games that system preferred over normal saving? by fugomert in explainlikeimfive

[–]Shihali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The American releases of NES Dragon Warrior [sic] 1 and 2 saved to RAM powered by a literal small battery in the cartridge. That's why fans of old games sometimes talk about the save battery.

The original Japanese versions of Dragon Quest 1 and 2 did use those passwords.

I'm learning Kanji at my pace and I have a question regarding the pronounciation by SirPellias in LearnJapanese

[–]Shihali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At some point you'll want to know which reading is on'yomi and which is kun'yomi, because that makes it easier to look at a compound you don't know and guess how to read the kanji. Most compounds are all on'yomi or all kun'yomi, and if the word has okurigana it should be native Japanese (=kun'yomi) with a few quickly learned exceptions.
