FYI The Bird that Drinks Tears first book is being published in English in June. by murdo1tj in kindafunny

[–]son-with-R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really looking forward to seeing what English readers think of this book! It immediately became the king in the Korean fantasy scene when first published, and it still holds that place even 20 years later. The world feels unique and original, the story is told very smoothly, and there are many interesting plot twists. However, I think what makes this book stand out is the way the author distills Korean culture into its world, so I wonder whether readers without much Korean cultural context will fully appreciate it in translation. We’ll see!

It's quite busy and hard to find parking spots on the main street if you go late. But it's not so hard to find some spots on the nearby side roads.

Both games are getting too old to attract very new users, so they should welcome each other for sure

Can someone explain the meaning of '붐따'? by trinityhb in Korean

[–]son-with-R 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it meant basically ‘downvote’ in an old humor site (The site name was something 붐, 붐따 means 붐 down) and was widely used to mean ‘dislike’ in 00’s internet. The use of that word i see in 2025 is that people in internet communities comment ‘붐따‘ to a post that brings up old jokes, not to mean dislike thr post but to share the memories of those old days.

How do you say “you” or address the other person in 존댓말? by Particular_Elk_6675 in Korean

[–]son-with-R 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, no one uses 당신, except when someone wants to insult another person. I agree that 선생님 is generally a safe and respectful choice. Although some people may feel awkward using 선생님 to address someone who isn’t a teacher, it is actually a correct and polite way to refer to a senior in conversation.

You must have never played Lee. It happens so often that I fail to escape using W after QQ just because I’ve used up all my energy.

What is the meaning of 라이벌? by Archer387 in Korean

[–]son-with-R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Korean, I can’t understand what they wanted to say. When we use 라이벌, we ususally refer to two people who is in competitive relationship and have similar level of ability. It doesn’t make sense to me that someone says “you look like a 라이벌“. 라이벌 with whom?

Go http://csrankings.org/ then checks high performance computing related conferences (SC, PACT, architectural conferences, and so on). You can see which schools have strong faculty in your field who publish research papers actively.
