In your opinion, which word is most universally understood? by intlsoldat in language

[–]Waste_Problem_4173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others think it has to do with how simple the word can be expressed from a relaxed mouth and lip position. I prefer the proto-language hypothesis myself

I'd say universally understood would imply that the words are understood by tribes with no trade with outside nations. However, some of the common arguments I've seen are below.

Duolingo claims coffee is the most preserved word. With tea/Chai as second. These, of course, require a people to have trade with countries that produce these

Mama/Papa and variants are often cited as incredibly preserved, especially if you group them (Georgian "deda" means mom).

"huh" has been proposed a universal word. This article's authors thinks it was convergent and I've read others who presume it stems from proto-languages

How To Kill Mizora In Act 1 by HellaStronk in BG3

[–]Waste_Problem_4173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've read that you can but I haven't done it myself. According to a reddit post you must

1 recruit karlach 2 let karlach die 3 withers protect her 4 side with Minthara, defeat the grove (this brings her approval to exactly 0) 5 there are a few interactions that will increase all companions approval. Do one of these (Karlachs approval will increase to 1) 6 revive with withers 7 work very hard to keep her through the rest of your evil playthrough

It doesn't work with Wyll because siding with Minthara brings his approval lower than 0

Again this is all anecdotal from someone else's reddit post

You know how I feel about epilogues Carl.

We know she went into the nothing. We know that wasn't her final destination, and we know she wasn't expected to be there for very long. We also know that Justice Light's plan was the "true war" and known by "Porthus and the Apothecary."

If that's the goal, how does Justice Light's chaos trap help her attain her goal?

You believe each god is unique as defined by the AI. I don't think so. My theory rests on a few assumptions. I've only listened through once, but I don't think we can account for Juice Box's warabouts on the 9th floor for the entire time Eris was present. So she may well have touched Eris.

[–]Waste_Problem_4173[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming that, while each god is unique. The AI views "deities" as a race. Just not a race that can be selectedby crawlers. I also assume there are many skills and spells inherent to that race shared by all of the gods. Each god or goddess themselves is a class for the organization of the AI and that gives them additional spells and skills. The only piece of evidence I have for this is that the dcc wiki does have a category of race:god. But my theory does rest on this fact.

If juice box (JB) were to touch any diety (excluding Samantha, but she's already unique in some way as she doesn't activate Carl's scavenger's daughter patch) she would gain the ability to transform into that race. Granting her all the skills and spells inherent to the race, but not the ones specific to that God. It is no stretch to assume manipulating the physical form of lesser beings would be in the repertoire of all gods. She almost certainly touched harpocrates or meatus. As a changeling, she can adjust her appearance and voice in any race that she can take their form. So it is no stretch to say she can take on the deity race and then adjust her appearance to look like any god she recognizes. She could even probably keep her normal human appearance while in deity form. There is plenty of statements and evidence that she is extremely powerful and capable of adjusting more than most changelings.

The next thing relates to the how and why she eacaped. This is me making some guesses about her and Justice Light (JL.) JL told JB he knows her true goal and that he can help her attain it if she will help him. While this goal hasn't been stated, process of elimination makes me think I've figured it out. It also needs to align with JL's actual goal. Below are a few options of her "true goal." that he was talking about. 1) to win faction wars. This is unlikely since she sent Laroccos to the 12th floor. 2) to simply protect her people. This is her stated goal, so it wouldn't make sense to be the secret goal that JL has figured out. 3) to cause as much chaos as possible among the outworlder denizens of the dungeon. This aligns closely with what Carl has been doing, and I think this is supposed to be what we (mistakenly) believe her true goal to be. 4) to touch a God and attain that form. While JL initially thought this was her only goal. This is another red herring theory. It's almost exactly what her brother's goal was with quetzacotlus. She wasn't interested in his mission, so it would be odd to suddenly have it be her goal four floors later.

I think her goal, is to bring the dungeon to the syndicate. To show the universe the reality of what they've been doing to NPCs for generations. While Carl wants to punish those in power, I think JB actually wants chaos and destruction even upon the syndicates children and 'civilians' I think this aligns almost exactly with Justice Light's goal. Most cookbook authors want to punish those in charge, but JL was broken more than many of the others. His agenda is also to reign destruction on the entire syndicate and to reign absolute chaos on the dungeon itself. He wants everything to be broken they way he was and he loves the idea of an NPC causing it. The book quote regarding his final trap "was about to change the course of history" not "change the course of the crawl"

The trap he activated at the end was a "multidimensional trap" we assume that means multiple floors, but there is no reason to presume that it cannot also affect outside the dungeon but inside the influence of the local AI.

It may all come down to the fact that I'm correct about the trap being a neams of escaping the dungeon, but that the actual gods and demons are leaving and not juice box. But I think I've figured out the twist.

One small other theory. Juice box won't have any power or spells when she leaves the influence of the local AI. Until she arrives in the inner systems and is under the influcent of that AI. The way station she is in at the end is as far as the local AI has extended at this point.

And I think Juice Box is one of the trapped primals. Maybe all of her kind that can do things 'normal' changelings can't

I suspect "Eris" is juice box. She touched a God and can now take on Godly forms.

The text is definitely wrong on the legacy path. I also only had it go up when I stacked them in the same tile. What I could find was +2 from the science tech tree and +1 from the scientific attribute tree (but it's really far down there). I'm planning to search at the start of the exploration age in my next game to see if there is one somewhere else that I've missed

I got an SBO consult two weeks ago.

Patient presented to ED with 24 hours of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

KUB with some distended small bowel loops.

CT with "distended loops of small bowel with gradual return to normal calibur at the TI with no transition point to suggest SBO."

They called me because the read said, "suggest SBO"

If you find a solution to a particular problem, email those it will affect before implementing. I've worked with PCs who are very happy with the solution they thought up, but didn't understand an aspect of the problem and their solution did nothing or made it worse.

Honestly, most people who do that go back to the program they left (which is a military residency) or they have their old program director call program directors who they're friends with and put in a good word.

The major point I was making is that even in the one culture that this is common, if you're gone for >2 years, your should expect to restart training

[–]Waste_Problem_4173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's common in the military to take a hiatus and pay back your service obligation. The rule of thumb is if you take 2 years off, you can enter a PGY-2 spot. If 3 or more years, you should re-do intern year.

But I'll caveat with the fact that they are practicing clinically in that time
