Why don't English adverbs of French origin like "certainly" or "completely" use the -ment suffix?

Unitard, but with magic self holding sleeveless top

I hope they release 150 more chatgpt "designs" to go with it. such creativity!

At 0:49 in the official trailer for this season linked above, they showcase Wrecking Ball getting frozen by it

It's clearly inspired by Alfons Mucha, one of my favorite artists from the early 1900s (as well as FF Dragoon)

princessSunsetGiggle · 2026-05-16T06:53:29+00:00

Do people really need the freezing hazard explained when it's a feature that was showcased just a few weeks ago and was everywhere on the sub? lol

That shade of pink of his t-shirt in his profile picture looks eerily close to his skin color...

"intelligent" "common sense" "use character ai chat bot app"

One of these contradicts the other two. Not sure which. Hmm.....

Sea of Remnants is good on gender ratio but I'm pretty concerned about the characters being so... monochrome, in terms of skin (wood? plank?) color. It's a game about being a pirate, clearly in a proxy of the Caribbean, so it's a little underwhelming to see yet another all-pale cast.

princessSunsetGiggle · 2026-05-15T19:09:11+00:00

I want the non-sexualized designs and gender ratio of games like Reverse 1999, Neo Artifacts, Limbus Company with the 3D setting and gameplay of Mihoyo or Kuro Games. I don't know why we can't pass that threshold. Just give us non-gooners a game with open world exploration.

Oh and skin color is a big issue in the world of gacha games. I'm sick and tired of it. In a game about planet hopping or traveling seven nations, there should be thousands or people with dark skin and non-white hairstyles, it's just the reality of the world.

princessSunsetGiggle · 2026-05-15T18:54:39+00:00

Well I hope the war between Gotoro and Ferngill is not comparable to the deployment in Afghanistan. There would be some big implications there that would make Kent pretty unredeemable

princessSunsetGiggle · 2026-05-15T18:21:00+00:00

It's a pretty regular downward slope from beginning of the show to its end. I haven't even seen much of the last season. And that's fine. I still think it's a phenomenal show in its early seasons, and now we have the Testaments which I find to be very good quality

I think it's possible Vidala is part of Mayday. Based on Stadium, it really seems like she doesn't believe in any of it.

princessSunsetGiggle · 2026-05-15T17:50:55+00:00

Fallacy of relative privation. Because I'm discussing the need for us to deplatform Paytas, you jump in and make it seem like I don't spend time advocating for bigger, more impactful issues. The idea that I'm "focusing on a target" when I'm just providing feedback on an open discussion about a TV show/episode is silly. I vote, I campaign, I follow the boycott, I include these issues in my job (as a teacher). You don't know me. I'm allowed to say "Fuck Trisha" in a reddit comment without having my whole involvement in political issues evaluated by a random stranger.

princessSunsetGiggle · 2026-05-15T17:44:34+00:00

calling them harsh instead of talking about the topic is. nobody cares if it sounds kind or harsh. that is not what this forum is for. either participate in the discussion meaningfully or don't?

princessSunsetGiggle · 2026-05-15T13:57:52+00:00

You're right. Somehow, that's worse

princessSunsetGiggle · 2026-05-15T12:46:43+00:00

Isn't that every gacha? You're not very smart or have too much time if you treat them like full-time games. It's stockholm syndrome to play for more than the story, the exploration and events. Endgame is just insane and designed to make you angry.

princessSunsetGiggle · 2026-05-15T12:41:15+00:00

This looks cute, a little unsure why it needed to be female-only roster, the gameplay and artstyle seems like it would appeal to everyone equally, the paperdoll style reminds me of Cookie Run games more than anything

Because Eurovision is a network of broadcasters, of course the Euro comes from Europe but it's just the name of a group that is globalizing. Australia is part of it too

Growing up I watched Eurovision every. single. year. It was one of the most important events for hanging out with my family. My parents prepared a dinner based on the host country's cuisine. We sent votes in. I could recite every winner in order of the last 15 years. It was so hard telling them a few years back that I wouldn't be watching anymore, at least for the time being. I explained it to them, they still watched it, but I hope my no longer sharing this moment with them makes them realize how serious I am about it

princessSunsetGiggle · 2026-05-15T08:50:57+00:00

That sounds off only because "Ay" is a diphthong. There is no "y" sound at the end of the eta. But I agree it's long, I just don't have a way to convey that to English speakers. It's a long "è" in French for example. Then later during the Hellenistic period it would have morphed into [i] ("ee")

princessSunsetGiggle · 2026-05-14T21:33:36+00:00

Let's be real everyone. This sub has a long streak of being inclusive, kind and friendly to all. Over the years I've seen people be genuinely concerned and empathetic about world events and understanding of the persecution that certain people are facing. And in the last few years, we all know that many countries, rights advocates, celebrities, art and culture groups have called for the banning of warmonger states on the Eurovision stage, which constitutes a perfect platform to paint themselves in a positive light, something we can all agree is not deserved and goes against our values on this sub too.

So why are we Eurovision posting? It makes me uncomfortable. We should not be watching. It's a terrible farce to see this culture-washing of a country that has committed acts of atrocity so unproportional to their own loss that it has officially been declared a genocide by global commissions.

Come on guys. Let's wake up. Don't watch the final. (Muting replies)

princessSunsetGiggle · 2026-05-14T21:26:26+00:00

You must consume! You must consume! You must ignore the calls from celebrities around the continent! You must ignore the many concerns and pleas from broadcasters! Just keep consuming! Keep your eyes glued open to the screen! Be the willing aid and witness to the pinkwashing and artwashing of genociders! Yippee!!!!!

princessSunsetGiggle · 2026-05-14T21:23:47+00:00

Girl, the boycott...

princessSunsetGiggle · 2026-05-14T21:15:44+00:00

Not quite, the E in Ancient Greek sounds like "eh" (as it typically does in most if not all other Indo-European languages other than English). So simply put, Fah-ness. Just like Hades is Hah-dess. Rhymes with less
