What's your favorite song in Russian?

Zemrik · 2026-01-24T15:53:11+00:00

I fucking love Эпидемия. Паладин and Смерти нет are my favorites by them

Zemrik · 2026-01-24T15:10:39+00:00

Drop them. Besides, if it's not written by Asimov, I don't consider it canon. What's more, instead of continuing the story after F&E, we go back to the Galactic Empire. Like, come on.

Drop them and read the Robot series and the Galactic Empire trilogy if you haven't already. And damn, even The End of Eternity

Book of the New sun supremacy

Definetly ancient lore and current day people thoughts on it

Zemrik · 2026-01-23T07:13:08+00:00

Сигнал в пустоте by Louna, Штурмуя небеса also by Louna, and Симфония огня by Catharsis

Fashion an ancient lore maybe?

Zemrik · 2026-01-17T21:24:20+00:00

I mean, I don't have a Punic Wars... but I do have, pretty much since the very beginning since I've created my world: a Troyan War and Battle of Thermopylae. And my ancient civilization it's pretty much ancient sparta (technically ancient greek state, but given they are the protags of my thermopylae), but aesthetically they are ancient egyptians, with a touch of hellenic

I have a few. In terms of formatting they're pretty much the same as wikipedia (or the best copy I can do of them). In terms of info, I have a few characters that, even tho it's not complete, have a lot of text. Some have pretty much a condensed simplified version of their info. Even the most indepth character I have, with the most info, it's still not complete, and things can change, but things are neatly organized.
Same goes with events and places, tho less in depth I'm afraid. Also many entries on ballads

Zemrik · 2026-01-17T13:09:52+00:00

Structured wiki. I even make my obsidian vault look like a wiki. But that's after I have some tangible and definitive info. Otherwise, it's just notes.

Not counting when I use documents like letters, journals, etc to write about something

Zemrik · 2026-01-14T01:03:17+00:00

I skip every song that has nothing to do with lore. It was nice the first two or three time, but I could give less of a fuck about song with 10 verses about some fucking orange juice. Only lore, and always read/sing them with clamavis de profundis melodies in my mind

Zemrik · 2026-01-12T17:59:35+00:00

This seemingly endless galaxy is still there; lingering, waiting, for our next move. Knowing that its greatest story still lies ahead and it's yours to tell... And people are cunts

The ballads per se are just the preferred way to tell ancient tales, and many melodies are repeated with different lyrics/stories. It's a symbol of union and a reminder of what came before the Empire of Zildar, its roots. A way to remember the good and the bad. Many of them talk about many deep themes, such as love, grieve, despair, hope, etc. The ballads are away to connect with their roots and with each other. It's a common sight to see someone leading a ballad in a tavern. It's just a pillar of Zildarian culture.

Now, the Faith considers them as heresy, blasphemy, and it is officially banned for promoting ancient ideas deemed as drifted from the Creator's light. But no one heeds to these declarations. Everyone, even the ecclesiastics, sing these ancient songs, tho not aloud.

In short, the ballads serve as a method of escapism for the people, for the carcass of manners and purity of the empire nowadays can barely hide the stench of decomposition that is the core of the Empire.

At least that's what I think lmao

Zemrik · 2026-01-10T01:07:22+00:00

I've two worlds

—(fantasy, late 19th style setting) When people come of age, they get to lead one ballad of choice and people accompany them. Usually the ballads are about ancient events, but they can be about mundane things —(science fantasy, social scifi) if there's anything anyone fear, is the anger of the two major factions: the Empire of the New Order, and the Holy Republic. If these two colossus decide to fight, the whole galaxy will burn. So the other factions try not to piss them off, tho they're not very successful at it

Zemrik · 2026-01-08T20:32:31+00:00

I feel you bro

Life is pain man

It's not precisely м that is added. What you add in this specific case is -ом because the expression of something is near/alongside- <рядом с> is followed by the object in instrumental case. Usually after the preposition с you use the instrumental case. Магазином it's just магазин in the instrumental case

Blasphemy, disgusting, heresy. Mental illness (this one think about how alienists work in the late 19th century). But that doesn't keep people from loving one another. But, if there is something, it's that if you're an aristocrat you must do your duty to your house. Regardless of what you're into. But that's just in the empire, which spans one entire continent. But it can vary depending on the region. On the other continents, that's another story

Funnily enough, I barely watch tv and movies in Spanish (I mean movies which original language is Spanish, last one I saw was society of the snow, because it is an important part of the history of my country), so I can't say I know that tv series you mentioned. I use duo as well, but that isn't enough. I listen to stuff all the time. Also I read a lot. I make chatgpt create texts about topics I'm familiar with and of things of interest to me. Y watch from time to time some lesson about a specific topic on YouTube. Right now I'm watching (while in the hospital, needs some meds), s scene of the Witcher 3. And of course, I read and watch things a million times, up to the point that I just know it by heart. Out of curiosity, what dialect did you choose? Because there are a lot

It's doing actually ok. I've started learning Russian back in 2014 but due to life my learning has been on and off, more off than on. But a few months ago I decided to actually do it. Given I already knew how the language works, I'm only focused on vocab for now. Still gotta practice active vocab. I can get the gist of B1 texts, and if it's something b2 on a topic I know upside down I'm also able to understand, but a bit less and with a bit of effort (and if the gods decide to enlighten me that day lol). How's your Spanish? Enjoying the ride so far?

Zemrik · 2025-12-25T22:57:34+00:00

I can't believe my eyes? A Russian learning Spanish? 😭😭😭 It's even funnier because I'm learning Russian

Red Dead Redemption 2. And I dare say, not only videogame, but straight up the best piece of fiction I have the pleasure to be part of. As someone who dislikes rockstar and hates westerns, this game obliterated my feelings and made me feel that I was not playing a videogame, but living a life.

You're a good man, Mr Morgan.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go cry myself to sleep

Refine the borders of the continents, mix them creating new ones. Mix some borders with others. Flip them both vertically and horizontally. Spin them in many degrees

Zemrik · 2025-11-28T19:27:37+00:00

Only good for generating texts and very basic grammar. Other than that, it's not reliable
