There was that one time the translator fucked up royally and I lost my shit in The Devastation of Baal by Guy Haley.

To understand we have to look at the pronoun „you“ and it’s German equivalents “Ihr“ and “du“. English doesn’t differentiate between a formal and an informal “you”. It’s just “you”. So you can use “you” in both ways and the reader gets the meaning and tone from context.

For example: “My lord, you have to act!” Gives you everything you need and you know from context how the power dynamics between the characters are.

The German equivalent for that sentence would be: „Mein Herr, Ihr müsst handeln!“ To be fair, you can confuse the possessive pronoun “Ihr” with the regular plural pronoun “ihr”. Both of which are completely different. That’s German for you.

But our translator used the common “du”. The sentence “Mein Herr, du musst handeln!” Not only makes my ears bleed, it also makes no sense in universe. You cannot stand before one of the most well known and revered ANGELS OF MOTHFUCKERING DEATH and say “du”! You uncivilised donkey!

Subscribed to both of them. Also to the Grimdank offshoot we have. Very much enjoy all of them.

Didn’t try posting lore or excerpts tho. Might try it when I come across something cool!

I feel you. Really miss 40klore and an endless stream of bunny pictures. The only two things I miss on Lemmy. Everything else I care about arrived or is arriving.

Remember when Reddit said they wouldn’t touch old.reddit?

People understand they can just leave that site, right?

Traveling to Taiwan to cry about them not being slaves. Someone is going for the social credit combo multiplier.

It’s not necessarily weeb shit. Weeb shit can be cool sometimes.

It’s that moe shit or whatever it is called. For every single one I block 5 more pop up.

You can unlock the colour scheme of other chapters. From what I can tell it looks kinda grindy tho.

During the Cold War soviets experimented with dropping soldiers from helicopters into snow. Without a rope or parachute. Just jump and pray. Went as smooth as you imagine. There is also that legend which almost certainly happened, but there aren’t any records of it. In one occasion during WW2 Russian paratroopers have been deployed from a plane from low altitude without parachutes. Again on snow. And only a third of them died.

Now, this has been denied by the soviets. But if we look at what else the Kremlin has said over the last century, we can safely assume that it absolutely happened.

Which is only the second weirdest thing I saw soviet paratroopers doing.

I don’t like how hard this hits home.

Nope. I don’t see Trump being adaptable and able to take a pounding. He’s a chicken, without the taste.

That’s Mister Bastard to you.

Saudi progress in human rights, unicorns and other fables.

A ban is incredibly hard. Not impossible, but hard. And even if, it won’t solve the actual problem. The AfD maintained the image of a protest party and to this day people believe this crap. A great way to cut their votes in half would be educating the population so they understand that protest is good but voting for fascist scum is not.

This actually makes sense. Thanks.

I do not care enough, because here on lemmy.world it isn’t a thing. But I see you’re from lemmynsfw. I vaguely remember a thread where the disabling of downvotes was discussed and to this day I do not understand why people are afraid of downvotes on their wanking material.

Ok. Interesting take. Let’s look at Alan Wake 2. High Budget and pretty good. One of the best games I played in recent years I would say.

And why did it sell poorly, I hear you ask? Well, maybe it had something to do with the fact that you published it on your Epic Store only, being fully aware that the overwhelming majority of PC players are on Steam (and very lazy when it comes to switching away from it). Also you didn’t produce physical copies for consoles. Download only for an environment known for being fiercely pro physical copy.

But we all know it’s not about these things. It’s about calming down investors. That’s why you use buzzwords like “metaverse” and shit. I am actually impressed you didn’t ramble about AI.

Have fun.

I can’t find it for the live of me. Sorry. Been too long.
