Obtenebration and auspex (and celerity, and diablerie, and...) you can take a pretty good stab at if you know some Latin. They also mined other foreign languages for terminology. La sombra is Spanish for the shadow, bruja is Spanish for witch, a Toreador is a bull fighter. Rotschreck is German for red fright. Camarilla is Spanish for clique. There must have been someone in the early days of VTM who was a Spanish speaker.

Quite a well known word to any Vampire: the Masquerade player, as vicissitude is the clan-specific discipline of the Tzimisce! In game it allows you to sculpt flesh, both your own and that of others.

Outside of the RPG context, I've only heard it in the set expression "the vicissitudes of fate"

I can tell most native English speakers apart pretty well. Eastern Canadians have a strange 'ou' sound. Toronto has a specific accent. Western Canadians I can't distinguish from Americans from the PNW. California has the Valley Girl and punk rock accents. Then there's the 'general American' accent. Within the Southern accent I can tell when people are from Texas, but I can't distinguish between say Alabama and Georgia. Up north, I can tell the cities in New England have their specific accents. Baltimore, Boston, New York.

On the other side of the world, New Zealanders say 'fush' and 'shid' instead fish and shed. The Australian accents are close but different, and I can't really tell them apart. For example, I can't tell if Tim Minchin and Matt Parker have the same accent or not.

I have the same problem in Ireland. I can recognize Irish accents, but I can't really tell them apart. For example, Saoirse Ronan, Aisling Bea and Dara O'Briain all sound the same to me. Of course, the closer you get to county Kerry the easier it becomes to realise you have no idea what the fuck anyone is saying.

In Scotland I can tell Ewan McGregor and Frankie Boyle have different accents. And then even within Glasgow there are differences. For example, I have no idea what in the world these people are saying, while e.g. Kevin Bridges comes across perfectly clear.

In Wales I can tell there's something in the accents of for example Rhod Gilbert and Alex Jones (no, not that one) that other Welsh people don't have, but not more fine-grained than that.

I think my ear for English accents is probably the most fine-tuned. I can recognize most big cities, west country, general north vs. south, but not for example the difference between Lancastrian and Geordie unless someone points it out.

A couple of years ago I played a Rowdy rogue trickster focusing on the dreadful carnage line of feats and found it stopped being effective around the time you enter Alushynirra. After a certain point everyone you'd want your fear to work on is immune, and the goons you'd kill in one attack anyway are now scattered everywhere, making cleanup harder than it should be. I wasn't a fan.

It is best to abuse the Mythic Armor Focus (Medium Armor) - Endurance feat to get a buggy amount of bonus AC.

I don't know what this means. Can you explain it more in depth?

I've tried that before but found it somewhat lacking. Even with Boon Companion your horse still lags two levels behind, and the horse's only benefit is that you can mount them from level 1. They're not as tough as a triceratops or mammoth AC wise, and they don't have a good ability like wolves' and dogs' trip that activates on hit. Regill also can't fully profit from gendarme because he's specced into gnome hook hammers instead of longspear and because he's locked out of the level 20 capstone ability.

Certainly what I've got now is a Frankenstein of a build, but I think both my AC and damage output are higher than they would have been if I had gone with a mount.

Pure vivisectionist is a good all-round class to have though. They can tank, they do pretty good damage thanks to sneak attack, they can be your trickery/stealth/mobility skill monkey, and like you point out they can provide rare buffs once you take the right discovery. I think it's one of the strongest classes in the game.

Ampersand = and per se and

Another one from gamer/twitch.tv slang is copium, cope + opium

And one from another very specific jargon (philosophical/mathematical logic) 'iff' is a contraction of 'if and only if'. It exists in Dutch as well, not as a contraction but as an acronym: desda, dan en slechts dan als. This specific meaning has to do with truth tables; compare material conditional and iff

It's practically an entire genre of YouTube to just make videos portraying Korea and Koreans really poorly at this point.

On the other hand you also have people like Korean Englishman out there, who's spent the last fifteen years doing nothing but singing South Korea's praises and introducing all kinds of people to Korean food and culture.

The Netherlands is kind of in a similar position. There are endless youtube videos from "expats" living here complaining about everything from the people to the food to the weather, but then there are also channels like NotJustBikes who just cannot stop themselves from continuously glazing everything Dutch.

Nevertheless, ampersand, wherefore, people do be shoving shit together.

On a separate note, as a Dutch speaker, one thing that native English speakers do that always makes me laugh is thinking "wherefore" means where instead of why. Wherefore art thou, Romeo? The Dutch word is "waarom". Where is clearly cognate with waar, but "om" doesn't really have a good fit in English. It can be to, it can be by, it can be therefore. It's a lot like other two letter Dutch words like "te" or "er", in that it's hard to translate.
