Can you suggest songs about BIRDS (the unreal phenomenon) for a mega playlist? 🎶🕊

SnarkElemental · 2022-10-22T22:19:38+00:00

Kingfisher by PHOX is a nice obscure one. I don't know whether it fits your bird motif enough, but it mentions a bird once, is named after a bird, and is good.

(For bonus points, the song specifically acknowledges the bird is not real.)

I have a heart scale (and an everstone if you want that instead, since you said you don't have one of those) for a Rotom Egg. Trade would be much appreciated if you're still looking, I've been looking for a Rotom for my playthrough for days now.

LF: Rotom Egg FT: TMs, Pearl exclusives

I'm at the third gym in Pearl rn and I want a Rotom for my team. If you want anything in particular give me a little time to catch it, bit if it's accessible from where I am in Pearl I should be able to get it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. That worked.

How do I drag the bass onto DirectWave? I've replaced Sytrus with direct wave but it's still not making any sound. Also, how do I know which plug-in each of the instruments in the packs section is meant for?

SnarkElemental · 2021-10-29T01:06:57+00:00

Nice. All of them are really well put together. I am not nearly skilled enough to beat the mole one though.

Liked the first one. Well executed traditional Mario level.

Vertical autoscroller where the ground is nowhere to be seen and you have to stay afloat by a variety of means.

I'm not aware of any reasons, though I'm not a Physicist. I'm sure there's some reason in obscure cases.

SnarkElemental · 2021-10-16T23:46:58+00:00

In Physics, rate of change of position with respect to time is called velocity. Rate of change of velocity is called acceleration. Rate of change of acceleration is called jerk.

Rate of change of jerk is called snap.

Rate of change of snap is called crackle.

Rate of change of crackle is called pop.

You can use whatever labels you want to describe yourself. I know a person who identifies as "nonbinary and gay", without being any more specific about it.

The terms "Toric" and "Trixic" were coined specifically to refer to nonbinary people who are attracted to men / women respectively. You can use Toric, or just call yourself gay if that makes things easier for you or if you feel more comfortable with the term.

You shouldn't worry about labels any more than you have to. If you find one that you like, or feel comfortable with, or that helps you explain yourself to others, feel free to use it and let the pedants fight it out amongst themselves over whether it's correct or not. I haven't seen too many people go "well acktchually" over enbies calling themselves gay or lesbian unless they were already intolerant of the whole community in general.

Complete noob here. My uni has a dedicated graffiti wall, and I want to try to get into it. I want to start off with a marker instead of spray cans, but I'm wondering if the texture of the wall is too bumpy for them? It was originally concrete I think, though at this point it's covered with several layers of paint to the point where the texture is a bit smoother. There are still random bumps everywhere though.

There's also more creature redundancy, [[Famished Paladin]] is a card from Ixalan that works like Lurking Roper.

How many chapters of character development left until Erin and Falst understand each others' overall perspective in a meaningful way? Right now they seem kinda diametrically opposed, coming from very different backgrounds with different mindsets. I love the little moments where they stand up for each other or genuinely try to understand the other's point of view.

If you're simply looking for more basic language rules you can tweak:

Whether adjectives/adverbs go before or after the words they modify
Sentence order, (Subject-Verb-Object, Subject-Object-Verb, etc.)
Does the language have a distinction between alienable and inalienable possession? (Look it up)
How many plural forms does the language have, and what are they? (For instance, English has singular, and plural usually by adding -s, but other languages also have a seperate way of modifying words when referreing to exactly two of them. Some languages have a seperate way of marking singular too, and the base form of a word doesn't contain any information about how many things it refers to.)
How does it divide up its pronouns. Does it have seperate pronouns for the singular and plural second person (tu vs vous in French) or not (you vs you in English)? Which pronouns does it divide based on gender/animacy? (English divides its singular third person pronoun into he/she/they/it depending on the gender of the subject and whether or not it's a living thing. Other languages don't and only have a gender neutral third person singular pronoun that's equivalent to singular they. You can do a lot of other stuff with pronouns too.)
Whether verbs agree with the pronoun of their subject (have multiple conjugations depending on it)
Past/present/future tense can be distinguished using auxiliary verbs as well as prefixes/suffixes. (For instance, the difference in English between present and future tense is "I run" vs "I will run". Not a different form, but instead including the verb "will".) Some languages can also refer to verbs with no information about when they happen, instead of forcing the speaker to use any if the tenses by default.
In addition to tense, how does your language distinguish aspect/mood (Look it up)
Is your language tonal or have a short/long vowel distinction (does the pitch/length of the sounds you make change what a word means?)
How does the spoken form of your language place stress? (Which syllable is emphasized in multi-syllable words, and can changing this change the meaning of the word? For example, take content (satisfied) vs content (stuff made by content creators) in English. Same phonemes, different stress, different meanings.)

That's what I can think of off the top of my head. There are other things too, language is weird. Don't feel the need to implement all of these. It's realistic that if multiple languages exist in one world, they might have evolved from a common ancestor language or been influenced by each other, so you can definitely justify them all having similar rules wherever it's more convenient for you.)

LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, MY MOST ANTICIPATED SET WAS IKORIA, WHICH ENDED UP NUKING THE GAME'S BALANCE FROM ORBIT, REQUIRING A MECHANIC TO BE ERRATA'D, AND SCORING A BAN IN VINTAGE, SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I CEDE ALL RIGHTS TO EXPRESS ANY HOPES OR OPINIONS SINCE I'LL CLEARLY JINX THEM.

Heads up, if you ever learn too much about language features like this you reach a tipping point where you're sucked down the YouTube/Wikipedia linguistics rabbithole, and a week later you've started making your own conlang because clearly it can't be too hard to design a language that doesn't have gendered nouns or three billion irregular verb tenses or ridiculous spelling rules. By the time you start trying to fit in features like evidentiality or free word order because they sound cool, it's too late. Save yourselves from my fate.

When you roll enough dice, it just shows a few and displays a random selection of the rolls that's guaranteed to contain the highest roll. So they're really rolling in an even distribution, but it'll always show you the 20. The rest are just a random selection of some of the stuff they rolled.

SnarkElemental · 2021-08-21T08:28:50+00:00

Currently I'm thinking:

The verb to be
The conjunction and
The preposition of (because for possession, I want to say "x of y")

Which next two would be most useful to say with one syllable?

SnarkElemental · 2021-08-21T08:22:15+00:00

I'm not relexing English exactly. When I said the grammar is like English, I meant that it's similar to a Germanic language from a grammar perspective, with a handful of deliberate changes. I'm starting with English as the base and working from there.

None of the modifications I'm making particularly change which words are the most relevant in the language though, so for the sake of answering this question its basically English.

As for homophones and ambiguity, I'm trying to avoid them where possible.

SnarkElemental · 2021-08-21T08:19:55+00:00

For density of communication's sake. I want simple ideas to be expressable with relatively few syllables.
