Written language started as representational images. Then later transitioned to a logographic language, eventually moving to a phonographic system. If a system has been around since the dawn of language or even before then, it should have ways of representing concepts without the need for...

In the past with often human centric views, the other humanoid races were called demi-humans. In less ego-centric equally powered stories Elfs, Dwarfs, Halflings and the like were just "the races". In more recent times demi-humans were the beastkin races. Still waiting for the day Primate-kin...

With all the other media, I don't mind it in a story, but I also don't read it for that reason. Meaning, if a story is just an excuse to have mostly smut, I'm not reading it. But if to happens as a result of story reasons I'm fine with it.

I've accidentally double posted several times. I got a shit internet connection and it drops me around every 30 minutes on average.

Oh, Every last game a studio bought and shut down by EA and Activision makes.

It's actually pretty common for games to get worse as the series goes on. Fallout 76. The last Star Ocean. Diablo 3.

https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/ Got everything from Zelda and Tolkien to Halo and Eve online. Sure D&D might not have say, merfolk, but you can RNG up something similar with the DC Atlantians, or Zelda's Zora name generators.

Depends. If there is a cultural theme similar to RL history, I go with names from that culture. If I have to be original I'll translate a descriptive name into that language if it's in keeping with the culture. Asian and pre-Abrahamic names are often originally from things. Like snow in yuki in...

So long as you have a prior language you can learn a new one relatively fast via association of objects and words. Then figure out the grammar system from the arrangement of known words. If you know no language at all, you can't even think in words. Instead you thing in images. It lead to deaf...

The term "blood brothers" is apt for two guys who treat each other like family. At least they aren't hole brothers.

A career woman who wants me to be the house wife.

Depends? At least the physics of things is nice. Stopping a megaton hammer is cool and all, but forgetting the character would just get hammered in to the dirt really messed with me. Then you got guys like Tolkien who wrote his novels just to give his created languages life. Basically he wrote...

My first RPG was FF3(US)/FF6 on the snes with a solid 15 years of mmos. I've played thief, rogue, assassin, ninja, ranger, archer, warrior, soldier, shield knight, dragoon, berserker, martial artist, samurai, mercenary, jedi, blacksmith, alchemist, techno priest, priest, cleric, necromancer...

I like Muhammad Ollie's style. I've seen his fights. It wasn't like he was super fast. But what he had was tactics. He baits punches with a lowered guard, and when he gets tapped on his bait shoulder he auto counters. His distancing was also superb. Most of the hits he took were ineffective...

I'm not a car guy, but I've known enough to pickup a few reasons for the enthusiasm. 1. Had a step father use fast cars and huge motorcycles to compensate for a small dick. 2. A racer loved the adrenaline high from them. For him it was a combination of the speed and skill required. 3. A...

Single and jobless? Go to a city and join the mass orgy that'll probably kick off in the red light district/bath houses. As well as hunt animals to survive and sell. Just because the world ends doesn't mean everyone dies. And food will get marked up from all the people that give up working...

I think China is going to piss off India with damming up the Ghagara river causing a water war.

At least they can't white wash an already white cast?

What? Killing everyone is somehow better? Unless you actively try to not buy Chinese, or products made with Chinese components I think it's hypocritical to question others on genocide, because your indirectly supporting the genocide of 3 different people's. Which happens to be a nation run by...

As a whole? No. Just the sociopaths and psychopaths.
