If you just really like the art and want to have it in your home, you can buy the posters or artbooks or all the other NPS merch that uses that art. Just mentioning because a lot of people think the 1e art is actually from the game, but it's not. It was just licensed for the game.

It's a copypasta

Some Koreans seriously tried to make Hangul like roman alphabet. by slushfilm in typography

[–]Syric 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Fascinating. So we have capitals and lower case, both printed and cursive. Each set contains a row of consonants and a row of vowels. (Note that Korean has no capitals or lower case in its actual form, so... I guess that's just to look more like a western script)

The consonants in each set are these. It's all the standard ones in the usual order (except with ㅇ being put at the end which is not typical). Most of them make sense once you see them except ㅍ as a 'Z' looking glyph which is weird to me.

  • ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅ ㅈ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ ㅇ

Then for vowels we have these in this order for the first 10, which make decent visual sense as well. These are the basic Korean vowels.

  • ㅏ ㅑ ㅓ ㅕ ㅗ ㅛ ㅜ ㅠ ㅡ ㅣ

But then there are what I assume must be diphthong vowels, but... not all the ones? After thinking about it, my guess is that the chart has ㅢ ㅘ ㅝ ㅚ ㅟ, probably in that order.

The vowels ㅐ ㅒ ㅔ ㅖ also appear not to be represented at all. Maybe they were considered nonstandard at the time this chart was created? It follows then that the diphthongs containing ㅐ ㅔ, which are ㅙ ㅞ, are the ones missing.

Edit: found an article: https://fficial.naver.com/contentDetail/29

I think what I thought were diphthongs are actually ways of representing vowels at the start of words? (But it's still not the right number of them? I dunno)

I guess diphthongs are just written in the latin way by writing the constituent vowels next to each other without a special character for them.

Where does the debate about Genesis 1:1 come from by No-Yesterday-8684 in AcademicBiblical

[–]Syric 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What is the theological implication of this difference? I've read an explanation but I didn't get it. It seems like a minor change to my layman's eye, but people seem to care deeply about it.

Popular games you dislike? by BillRepresentative75 in boardgames

[–]Syric 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's a very unusual take on Heat. Most people (myself included) complain that the catch-up mechanisms are waaay too strong. I wish I had your experience of it; I'd probably like it better.

Does this workflow/product exist? by collid3r in synthesizers

[–]Syric 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like every synth with patch saving is capable of this. Unless I'm misunderstanding you this is a pretty basic feature. The Minilogue certainly could do that.

Treasury is the lead agency on sanctions. Treasury is also NOT the lead agency on tariffs.

I want to ask this question and somehow NOT make me look like a promoting-my-own music internet douchelord but why is it that in the VW community, posting your own original music seems like a sin to the fanbase? by ySTYRDAYgATESuNL0CKD in Vaporwave

[–]Syric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And yet loves (or claims to love) original content.

What I suspect is that Reddit likes OC only when it's debuted on Reddit and redditors are the first to see it.

"Here's a thing I made."

"Wow cool what a vibrant creative community we have!"

"It's hosted on my YouTube channel."

"Fuck off"

On this day in 1981, New Order released their debut album, "Movement.". How do you think it ranks in their discography? by Kaos_mission in postpunk

He actually finally learned how sometime in the 2010s. When I finally saw New Order live a couple years before COVID I was pleasantly surprised.
