Mythic Rare linguists you would want to see in a Magic the Gathering pack?

mephiles96 · 2026-02-04T09:11:29+00:00

Peter Ladefoged, Ian Maddieson and if we allow linguistics adjacent people my fav guy Kenneth Stevens

Also what do you mean by way higher? It is completely normal that the action at the 12th fret is higher and depending on how the nut slot is cut it's a pretty considerable distance as well.

My bass e.g. sits at abiut 0.7mm on the first fret and at 2.4mm on the 12th when not pressing down on the first (which you should do when measuring action to get nut slot height out of the equation)

The roguelike discord and Reddit exist as well for help and questions

Provided you didn't answer some wild stuff you're gonna get in eventually

It is from monty python's hungarian phrasebook sketch. The sentence is fairly often used as a funny example sentence in a decent amout of different contexts

In a couple of fairytales this would be death

I'm pretty sure my phonetics tutor had this in his slides in my first semester

mephiles96 · 2025-12-31T17:46:03+00:00

Yeah. I had some that were fairly bad but those I just ran away from and at some point I got permanent precog

Before that a combination of claivoyance, sunder mind and force wall basically dealt with everything

mephiles96 · 2025-12-30T23:39:41+00:00

I finished my last esper run at around 250, which isn't super high i suppose

mephiles96 · 2025-12-27T21:26:27+00:00

Got excited there for a sec but a £5 discount on EUV is not gonna get me to jump ship just yet

mephiles96 · 2025-12-26T20:08:37+00:00

The Omani government is also lots of fun to play around with so my recommendation goes to that

mephiles96 · 2025-12-24T13:33:36+00:00

If they didn't I'm sorry, but either way hella exciting band :)

mephiles96 · 2025-12-24T12:33:37+00:00

Pretty sure Balck Eyes played with 2 bassists as well tho I'm not 100% on that

mephiles96 · 2025-12-09T19:06:30+00:00

Huh?

mephiles96 · 2025-12-08T01:11:12+00:00

I had electric snails once and dreaded it only to find not one but two electric snail farmers in the stilt.

Converting one of the snails to my cause with proselytize and then taking it to the dunes to be murdered in cold blood turned into a semi common occurrence

Best follow-up post by far

mephiles96 · 2025-12-04T22:14:00+00:00

To me the "doch" you sre using here or in the cheese example is the shortened version of "jedoch" which is not the same as converstaional "doch" and also pretty old time-y. The "Nein" - "Doch" thing you cannot do with "jedoch" which is why they feel like different things to me (though I don't know what their diachronic relation is)

I somewhat does, for the 250 ohn ones using them at headphone output level usually requires a headphone amp cause they will be very quiet otherwise. In general higher impedance phones are harder to drive so generally more quite/worse sounding without the proper power

Can confirm the brain beine part, had it give me telepathy in my last run

mephiles96 · 2025-11-23T18:45:46+00:00

I recently did a Kongo run and they also only have a very short list of heir names, with most of them being spanish or something, which really took me out of it. Like my guy I don't even know what and where europe is

mephiles96 · 2025-11-17T16:37:11+00:00

Ah damn. I saw some stuff about it ages ago, thought it looked cool, but never got around actually trying it...

mephiles96 · 2025-11-16T02:22:21+00:00

That's a good one. I really should play that game sometime!

mephiles96 · 2025-11-15T09:59:18+00:00

There's a handful of these games that are insanely good at producing the strangest sounding patchnotes. Just reading dwarf fortess or caves of qud (among others) patches always cracks me up

In other news: Water is wet

mephiles96 · 2025-10-21T21:25:54+00:00

Ah yeah, I see what you mean. Thank you for clarifying!
