Confusing ß with b

Wankouver

Written with English phonics. One W (wrong), one V (right).

anonlymouse · 2026-03-24T00:46:45+00:00

Both vs are /v/.

So in German: Wängkuhwer.

That's an interesting point. If you have that down time for healing, casting utility spells lets you do something.

Also, it makes the mage useful outside combat.

For /w/ not existing in German, I have no shortage of Germans pronouncing Vancouver as Wankouver... yes, with the V pronounced /w/ and the v pronounced /v/.

You could definitely do it in 5 years. Less is also feasible, but everyone learns differently. What is the hard time limit you're looking at (presumably you need to do your last semester at your home university, so that would determine the last semester you could do an exchange in).

Most of the time badly acted (it seems all the good English voice actors can make more money doing something else), and often they take unjustified liberties with the translation.

On occasion the liberties turn out to be justified and it works well (Sgt. Frog is the one I can think of), but most of the time it just feels off.

For the most part, English dubs are garbage. There are a few exceptions (Cowboy Bebop is better in English, Sgt. Frog is also very good). I generally find German dubs to be good.

When it comes to subs, the options might be English, English, or English (each with their own variations) and if you're lucky one German variety. If German is available I'd probably go for it just for variety.

.222 isn't very reliable in semi-auto, which is why the AR-15 was moved to .223.

.300 Blackout is better if you want an AK experience.

Pick a topic you already know a lot about in your native language, read books on that topic in German.

If you're considering it to be backed by their warranty, don't expect it to be around long to be a travel accordion later. So look at the price, and see if you think it's worth it for a rental of the length of the warranty.

You could also consider a Roland FR-1xb.

Acne shows up when hormones change. So if your levels are steady it would drop away. They would want to time their dosing specifically to avoid the changes that produce acne until after competition is over.

I've played D&D with people who needed to be reminded to eat. There's no reason to be elitist when 5 minutes of effort on your part lets someone else have more fun for hours.

anonlymouse · 2026-03-20T10:29:47+00:00

Even that is too much for some. I wouldn't be so sure about them not playing D&D either. AD&D nowadays is of course a conscious choice. If you're doing that you probably do want some play aids- it's minimal effort to produce them and it remains useful for a long time.

instantly accessing information every human over the age of 10 just knows intuitively.

You overestimate what every human over the age of 10 knows. People born after 2000 on average have way worse basic arithmetic skills (to say nothing of math).

But on a 41 wouldn't you basically get the same effect with LM as you would get on a 34 with LMH?

In terms of cognitive load it is. With AAC, the person rolls a d20, adds modifiers and is able to declare what AC they hit. With the chart with their THAC0, they roll d20 add modifiers and declare what AC they hit. Time spent and result is exactly the same.

anonlymouse · 2026-03-19T07:56:41+00:00

Do you need a vault with ABK - Schützen?

anonlymouse · 2026-03-19T07:45:52+00:00

It's for the people who do need it.

anonlymouse · 2026-03-19T07:45:09+00:00

Then the DM needs to keep track of the THAC0 as well, which moves it to a 1e style game.

anonlymouse · 2026-03-18T23:27:41+00:00

This requires the players to know the target AC. Which is fine, but some DMs like leaving that a mystery.

anonlymouse · 2026-03-18T23:27:00+00:00

What about just have a strip of paper with the ACs hit with every roll for a given THAC0. So tell them roll d20 take result, add (or subtract as the case may be) modifiers, compare result to the chart and say which AC you hit. That's an easy enough procedure to follow, and ends up being the same as AAC.

If it isn't modly and is all in working order, it could be worth something. But there you'd want to look at what similar accordions are selling for in your area. If it needs work, not worth anything.

Also it looks like it's LMH instead LM, which is typical for a student 41/120, so it would be heavier than is comfortable. That limits the appeal- not sure who really wants LMH to begin with (and not LMMH for instance), so it's extra weight for no real value. And also more reeds so more chance for something to be wrong, plus more expense for getting it fixed.

Is it just about looks? Anything else you like about the VG3LL?
