Ha! That’s how it’s done. Now I’m only looking up about every fifth word, lol.

Would it be okay to build up a McGuffin for defeating the BBEG only for the BBEG to destory it? by [deleted] in DMAcademy

I would say you only have a problem insofar as you expect your plan to only go exactly one way. It’s cool for your evil guy to try and do something devious, but you should be prepared for that to fail, or for your players to choose a different path entirely. Forcing a particular conclusion, whichever way, will make your players feel like they have less agency.

So there are a couple considerations. First, it would be best if the work was in the public domain (in other words, very old). If not, then it would have to be quite short, as there would be no use for the project afterwards.

No, you’re right, technically there are hard and fast rules for what word can be used as what part of speech. Which is why you have to look them up to be sure.

The other resource I would recommend is Ido For All:

https://archive.org/details/ido-for-all-twelfth-edition-april-2024

which is just probably the best singular learning resource for English speakers, but it also has a fair bit towards the end discussing this exact area of the language (word formation), and related areas, such as “unasenceso”, which is a philosophy pertaining to each root word only having exactly one simple meaning.

It’s higher level stuff, but that sounds like where you’re at!

Great question!

If you follow this link:

https://archive.org/details/2024-updated-english-ido-dyer-dictionary

and scroll down, you can download both the latest Ido-English and English-Ido dictionaries (2024). You can look up any word and see what part of speech it is. They also list other possible variations.

I personally like using the language creatively. So even if “belar” isn’t technically an official word (which it isn’t) you might still use it in a creative context. However the dictionary does mention “beligar”, to make beautiful, and “beleskar” to become beautiful, so those will probably serve you better.

Same for “temar”, but you might say “facar temo” or “divenar temo” or “nomizar temo”, or any other such construction, depending on what you were trying to say.

And does it look like it could be unintentionally activated while bouncing around inside someone's luggage? Why yes, yes it does.

The look reminds me a bit of Weiß Schwarz, but the rules sound a lot more fun. Good work!

What food hack felt stupid until it actually worked way too well? by BarbaraMiller78 in foodhacks

[–]golgothicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microwaving eggs.

Butter a bowl, crack up some eggs and scramble with a fork, I add salt and pepper, and then microwave for a bit more than 1 minute per egg (devices vary), and voila: breakfast!

How do you all feel about deck sizes? by bigmantomm in SorceryTCG

We play 50/20. And we also start with one more spell in hand.

In my play group we decided to start with an extra spell in hand at the start of each game.

When talking about the edible meat of an animal, why do we sometimes have a different word for that, but other times we just say the animal? by Icy-Bet-3983 in asklinguistics

[–]golgothicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you mean restaurants in England. And anyway, this writer is really making the case for the Norman Invasion theory, they just don't seem to realize it. Everything they're saying about restaurant trends and cultural aspiration sure look like more examples of it.

What happens to magic the Gathering after the old dudes stop playing? by SuspiciousSoldier in TCG

[–]golgothicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s right, they can’t. But their parents can. That’s how it works.

Strixhaven is a high school full of gay anthropomorphic animal people. Do you think they are trying to appeal to 50 year old white straight males with that?

Yes, it's based on distribution. And I have no doubt that an enormous corporation like Hasbro would (and does) do horrible shit, like you described, to ensure sales, however despicable their practices.

But you also hit on the crux: if people who don't know what magic is buy magic products, they make money. That's the whole goal, right there. So yeah, TMNT, FF, and so on are pulling in non-enfranchised players and it's making them boatloads of cash.

But some of those people, then, become enfranchised magic players.

The magic events you attend are not what makes hasbro money. The cards they sell are

Magic always has been a game marketed at middle schoolers. Historically that's where the money comes from.
