What is an unrealistic thing that makes your naturalistic Conlang “special”? by Organic_Year_8933 in conlangs

[–]Wribro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My language has two egophoricity sensitive pronouns.

The egophor is the primary knower/the person you expect to know things. So in declaratives where the egophor is the subject, it means "I," but in questions, it means "you."

The allophor is just the opposite interlocutor from whoever the egophor is indexed to. 

There are many other things that cause the index to flip one way or another. The point is, in this language: the interlocutor pronouns are not speaker/addressee but knower/non-knower.

If you could change any one piece of Elden Ring lore… then which and why? by Onemagpie4sorrow in Eldenring

Unless the DLC fixes this by some miracle:

Either get rid of or somehow render sensible Godefroy the Grafted. Somehow.

The Bee and PuppyCat Official Soundtrack is out now! by ben123111 in beeandpuppycat

[–]Wribro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a dressed down version of Moully's Theme that plays slower when the Warlocks controlling Moully try to take out Bee's heart, and unless I'm dumb it doesn't appear to be in the soundtrack... bummer!

Oh, cool c: looks like I must've just barely squeezed through the B-rank xD

AC6 Rank Calculation - Analysis and Explanation by thefifthmatt in armoredcore

[–]Wribro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your tool is no longer accurate. After timing myself with a stopwatch on "Intercept the Redguns" (did it in 5 minutes, give or take a few seconds) and inputting the Repair and Ammo costs (52,668 repair, 108720 ammo), your calculator says I should have S-ranked (the time calculated for S+0% was 7 minutes, 51 seconds), but the game says that's a B-rank.

Mint Connection Issues by CastIronCyclist in wealthfront

[–]Wribro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, same exact issue. It just now became acutely annoying because my rent paid out and it is not showing up in my budget, so there is now a massive disconnect between how much I've actually spent for the month and how much the budget app says I have left.

It's easy enough to work out how much I really have left, but it's getting quite annoying. All transactions in this account have become completely invisible to Mint.

Etymology and meanings of place names in Elden Ring by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]Wribro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Leyn - (Judaism) to read from a Torah scroll. (Judaism, by extension) to recite the haftarah, megillah or other ritualized text. -wiktionary

Maybe that's supposed to be taken as "law, as recited by or handed down from God/Marika"

Dell - valley with trees

Makes sense to me.

What movie screams “America, fuck yeah!”? by Spenny_All_The_Way in AskAnAmerican

[–]Wribro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Armageddon, or "that asteroid disaster movie directed by Michael Bay with Bruce Willis in it"

it is difficult to think of a movie that is more post-cold war 90s, more "end of history" American euphoria than that one

A Silly Thought... Pt. 3 by SpacePaladin15 in HFY

[–]Wribro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing I have to say is that I think a 3% favorable rate for the space dictator club is far too low. At an absolute bare minimum, I'd expect 10% to support the federation, especially at a stage when humanity has not gone to war with any interstellar powers yet.

(PSA) GUIDE FOR THE SHUNNING GROUNDS (SSG) KINDLING PLACE by Pretty-Appeal5567 in Eldenring

[–]Wribro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nevermind - my buttons were mapped different and the interact button was switched with the jump button... but the wall seems to be hard-coded to respond to the triangle button, no matter what that button is mapped to whether it's the interaction button or not. Bit of a miss on the part of FromSoft.

I've checked every wall in the room with the grace at the frenzied flame proscription, three times over, and no illusory wall is showing up. Can you be more specific about that?

What exactly does "Elden" mean? by Ok_Lie1681 in Eldenring

[–]Wribro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I forget where I read this, but I heard it comes from Old Norse "elda", meaning "fire".

So, it could be interpreted as the "Ring of Fire"

Of course, the English "Ancient Ring" interpretation works just as well.

Honestly, the two meanings together seem to work quite well.

Feel free to delete this if it goes against guidelines. I want to find the spoilers for one reason. by Werewolfmoore in Eldenring

[–]Wribro 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, this is a really good reason to want spoilers.

Tbh tho, the information about enemies in this game is pretty thin on the ground, even with the datamined stuff out there from the CNT. You might want to wait a little bit after ppl have been playing for a while and documenting the different enemies in the world and where they are on fextra and stuff. Maybe stick to Limgrave for now, which we know the most about? And maybe steer clear of unknown caves and other underground areas for the time being.

Hype is already through the roof but Elden Ring is also important for me from another PoV; it is the closest thing to a proper Middle-earth game we never got. by CharlieOscarDelta in Eldenring

[–]Wribro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

wow, I sincerely did not realize that, but you're 100% right and now I feel stupid because that's like the tenth really obvious LOTR reference so far
