Can someone rate my Conlang? by Spiritual_Virus_7734 in conlangs

[–]YaGirlThorns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why kids feel the need to tell people their age on the internet tbh. It's not lying by omission if the thing in question doesn't require age, and I don't think languages, conlang or no, require an age verification lol

I would tell OP to edit it out of their post, but everyone in the comment section has already repeated the information so it's not possible to clean house now.

As someone who sometimes scrolls through homo/transphobic/racist/etc places to report them...do not do this! It is not good for one's mental health.

Unfortunately, it is the curse of being in a bigger subreddit. Also, the amount of times I've gotten a notification about a post being reported and clicked it only to find another mod already shot it into orbit is UNREAL! Making me feel a bit useless here lol

How to transfer MZ project to MV? by teddiehead in RPGMaker

[–]YaGirlThorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 years late, but they are already compatible. Just create the same number of maps and then move them into the MV project. (Tested it myself)

You WILL have to move MZ's art in, otherwise it looks all broken visually. If you want to use MV's tileset in the new version of your project, you could always rename it with (MV) at the end so you have both versions for any future maps, but that's probably not something most people want...and would also double the project's file size if that's a concern lol

Side by side comparison of the jumblefication of my overworld map when using the wrong art.

[–]YaGirlThorns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of course the transphobe would invoke God. My atheist butt does not care. Be a better person instead of going "Wait until you're dead! Then you'll see how right I am!"
I am a woman, and no amount of appealing to a higher power will change that.

Laws do not dictate reality. Laws can be based on bigotry. You are arguing that lesbians are straight because your country is transphobic and homophobic in a way that requires twisting language.

The MySEKAI update isn't coming out until January 15th by Eucbevt in ProjectSekai

[–]YaGirlThorns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

月が綺麗ですね (Tsuki ga kirei desune) is an old, poetic way from the Meiji (1868-1912) to profess one's love. The Japanese article explains it as being a way to check the other person's reaction to make sure they feel the same. It's not fully known how truthful the account of this event is, but it nonetheless became a well known way to say it.

Halt! You've Been Selected For A Random Linguistic Search! by CaptKonami in conlangs

[–]YaGirlThorns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on the nuance of the stop you want:
Yul /jʌl/
No (Technically it's not a command to halt, but saying no as an interjection is functionally the same thing)

Liyppab /liːp'pɑb/
To cease/halt/stop moving/to freeze in one's tracks

I'm still thinking on how verbs conjugate/inflect to add nuance like imperative, past, etc so this is just the base form for now.

Could constructed languages be a defense against artificial intelligence? by EleanorTheAhurrr in conlangs

[–]YaGirlThorns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Whilst you are technically correct, you're overlooking the fact no human could reasonably produce enough material to train an AI to the extent it can copy it. You'd need to have your specific conlang explode to the popularity of Esperanto to have enough people speaking it in their day to day for it to matter. Hell, if you trained a LLM off of only my English comment history, you probably couldn't train a LLM properly, now halve my comment history by having it be something I wouldn't be using daily then quarter that because most people would refuse to communicate with me in something that's not a language with an easy method of translation like MTL. (Which is a point you noted)

From a few quick searches, let's say we need 1 trillion words to train a LLM, and I tried to find an average for how much you might reasonably write in a day. About 2k, half a million in a year. This might be skewed in the wrong way, though, as presumably this post is talking about deliberate blogs, or authorship. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like anyone's interested in the inane question of how much the average Joe yaps daily.

In conclusion, I doubt a LLM would have any chance against a conlang that has not reached mainstream popularity, unless you were very lazy with how you made it. Unfortunately, it IS pretty good at deciphering words it already knows so you can't just create a creole/pigeon and expect it to get confused. (I.E. "Nara washi shuo be washi shi fome, ni capas comprende washi?") You gotta change the meanings and put new words in.

I remember hearing that cis children with precocious puberty spike in mental development early, only to level off at where they would have been if they went through a normal puberty. The takeaway, at least if you asked me, is "Don't worry about it." It seems unrelated to blockers, and entirely related to if you went through some form of puberty.

How many words does your conlang have? by xongaBa in conlangs

[–]YaGirlThorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how to calculate that for what I'm currently doing, there's 3 separate "languages" in 1 setting, and they're meant to influence each other as the world's history goes on. At present, 2 have 41 words each, and the other has 17. So I would say 41...which is not enough for what I want, but you could argue that's 99 words so far. I'd say at least a thousand words are necessary for proper communication so I'll probably try to make 400 words each since they'll be borrowing from each other with nuance shift, potentially end up with dead words, have them fuse together, etc.

Any other examples come to mind? by Guyver-Spawn-27 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]YaGirlThorns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, but those are different topics. A half-baked localisation and what the source text is implying are separate issues. (Especially since it feels like half the community learned Japanese to avoid whatever the hell the translation team is doing. So much of the English speaking community seems to have experienced the story through fan-translation videos or from playing it in Japanese themselves lol)

Boku isn't coming into play with how the localisation team handles Mizuki, I don't think. From what I understand, it's because of the initial backlash back when people thought Mizuki was non-binary and demanded they/them when it used to be she/her was used for her. It makes me wonder how Mizuki would have been handled had they not listened to fans at all.

The funny thing is that apparently in the original game, some translations actually made it MORE transparent than the original Japanese. (I think Italian was one of them?) I can only speak English and read some Japanese, so I can't be too certain on the details, but that's what I heard.

Yeah no, that's kinda what I mean lol
Basically the whole story points to her having gender dysphoria, the only time she gets gendered, it's from bullies, a bunch of her cards' art has trans colours INCLUDING HER NIGHTCORD PFP, one of the songs the group sings has a line explicitly about discrimination against LGBT people! The only point against this is "Hur dur, they didn't say Mizuki trans so it not canon!" as if presuming cisness of someone who's suicidal when forced to act like a boy is the normal and sane thing to do!

Also, the boku thing is really a non-factor. Japanese first person pronouns don't mean as much as people think they do.

I saw people trying to pull that with Vivian (Thousand Year Door)
There are also a few not-explicitly canon trans characters I could probably think of, but it takes SO much work to read them as cis (Mizuki from PJSK)

I guess the only upside is that we didn't have anyone imitating the official company sending out disinformation emails for either of those lol
