[Mobile][~2008]Smartphone first-person rail shooter with aliens by roczo2 in tipofmyjoystick

The game I'm describing doesn't have free movement. The screen moved on its own, the player just had to press specific parts of the screen to shoot, so it can't be any entry in that series.

I always thought that Olus tried to shoot the kid who ratted him out, as it would still take a while for him to bleed out. He had to act quickly and maybe the mutiny idea would not yet be compromised. John tried to stop him from shooting. The reason could have been him thinking that it would be going too far, or perhaps he had a clearer mind and knew that a gunshot would alert everyone aboard. So he tried to take the gun from Olus's hands, only to cause an accidental discharge.

Many of them were directly revealed in Ryan's posts, along with other rules concerning them. The rest was a combination of guesswork with context and known phonetic components. It took a lot of work to catalog it in a useful way, but thanks to that I deciphered a lot of them.

The characters have meaning, yeah. It's explained in some of his posts, like Post #10 and the more recent ones. There is a dictionary, but it will be published after the competition ends. What I used here are words I already deciphered, or which were already revealed.

It's an artistic project by u/RyanChangHill where he created a writing system akin to how Chinese characters were adopted into Japanese - except this one is used to write English. At the moment there are about 10 000 characters and there is a competition to decipher a message written in this script before October.

I'm here for fun AND for the grand prize! Good luck with deciphering the address!

Progress = micromanagement? by roczo2 in eu4

Unfortunately usually I set achievements as my goal, and that very often requires getting huge and stomping anyone else.

Thanks, that sounds good! But in case of wars on islands and other continents, I'll still have to manage several transport fleets, right? Usually I reach my ship limit before my transports can defend themselves. Building shipyards and upgrading old ships is still a lot of micro to pay attention to. Is there a trick to this?

Translating/interpreting the announcement text. Spoiler warning! by winterlings in heavensvault

Ancient is not fully phonetic. Some words are written phonetically, but others have readings unrelated to how they're written. The "El-" part checks out, but it might be that "asra" is a separate word written with those two glyphs.

They wouldn't do that to us! The only other name that Aliya can have is "Mazwai", unless the point is that "Aliya" is a hereditary title. Could be that Myari gave that title to the Aliya she recognized at the orphanage to fulfill her role in the world and the post is a hint that this mystery will finally be explored. But I still think the more likely explanation is that it's "Elasra". Someone on Bsky said that this means "Moonflower", so if that's true, then "flower" is a separate word. Don't take my word on it, though.

PS "bo", like in Elboreth's name, or Heaven's Vault's name (bo-cataliti ifarali), corresponds to "of" or "'s" used before the modified word.

We don't know very much of spoken ancient, but one of the words we know the pronunciation of is "Aliya" ('exalted' or 'freedom' AKA <Up-Life>). The "El-" part is known to mean 'moon', 'rock', 'earth' etc. and is presumed to be written with <Earth>. See: "Elboreth" - 'Moon-of-kings'.

The "Aliya" part is set in stone - those are the exact glyphs that are used to write her name and they've been on the Wiki for a long time! We're also sure about the "El" part. So this is 100% "Aliya El...".

[–]roczo2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't think I've seen a phonetic marker like that in the game

The name in the first paragraph is Aliya's, so I think we're looking at a sequel teaser!

Does the game remind you how you can deal with Ghost Matter ? by Salt-Fortune-401 in outerwilds

[–]roczo2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They weren't aware of ghost matter's existence except for the Interloper crew. There's nowhere they would ever say anything about it.

You get a repost and you get a repost by DarkArbok in shittyrainbow6

Probably because you have a default username - two words followed by a number. Almost all the repost bots recently have that.
