GuardianSing Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I'm surprised I never thought to do this before, but I realize I can hook up my computer to my TV and play Radiant Dawn as it was intended on the big screen. 5 hours ago, Armagon said: Spanish is just a funny language in general. The funniest language i'd say. English may be the international language but Spanish is arguably the richest. Spanish is odd as since it was my first language that I forgot how to speak growing up, when I listen to it I have the strange feeling like I understand it psychologically but not literally, if that makes any sense.

Was it just not spoken in your household? It's generally easier to maintain a language when you speak it at home, even if you speak another language outside of it.

My dad's side of the family were the ones who mostly around during my birth and early years, so it was mostly Spanish being spoken. Losing the language was a combination of my parents getting divorced which caused a temporary family rift and me living with my English speaking mother for my remaining years and going to English schools that wanted me to speak English.

Losing the language was a combination of my parents getting divorced which caused a temporary family rift and me living with my English speaking mother for my remaining years and going to English schools that wanted me to speak English. My circumstances were the same (generally) but just different enough. My parents divorced so i lived with my mom. She knew.....some English. My dad knew even less. Both have gotten better at it but my dad's English is still pretty abysmal. 20 years in the US btw. Anyways point being Spanish in the house was an absolute necessity. But as for schools, i was placed in the ESOL program throughout elementary. And this isn't even counting the annual trips to Venezuela during summer break. So yeah, Spanish was pretty much drilled into me even after my parent's divorce. Ironically, i learned English first. My mom tried talking to me in Spanish and got no response. An aunt who did know English spoke to me in English.....got a response. "[Mom's name] the only one who doesn't speak is you!" because as it turns out, the babysitter had me watching American cartoons. Ironically my earliest memory is in Venezuela, where my uncle tricked me into drinking a sip of beer cause he told me it was apple juice.

GuardianSing Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Holy shit, Ilyana! I can't believe you're here! No seriously, how are you here, you died, I saw you die. Expect a similar joke every time a dead character from my PoR run comes back For a kid that looked 14 in Path of Radiance, he sure looks in his mid 20s despite it being only three years. Uh, yeah this character died within 14 seconds of appearing in my PoR playthrough so this is like my first time learning anything about them. Already I like them. How the hell did I manage an ironman playthrough of Awakening. In my defense, that archer had like a 20% chance to hit. Playing on the big screen is fun until you realize it makes taking screenshots and saving states a bit of a hassle, plus the gamecube controller is the most finicky thing on the planet so I think I'll just go back to keyboard controls. Thanks generic merchant character. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another round of "Does this evil guy fuck or not?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although hopefully, she won't be as prone to being doubled on "easy" (which, as I'm sure somebody already mentioned, was more accurately called "normal" in Japanese). Good luck with the run! Curious to see what you'll think about the story. 1 hour ago, GuardianSing said: Already I like them. Gimmick characters: Love 'em or hate 'em. Or like 'em well enough but don't think they're amazing or anything. Or find 'em okay in moderation, but annoying if they're on the screen for too long. Or maybe like the idea of their gimmick, but really dislike how it is put into practice with this character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very difficult to argue against the guy who stole Charlie Chaplin's look, especially because fascist ideology is still not only around, but mainstream in the Republican party (and not even remotely exclusive to it). Honestly, just say "post-WW2" and you at least reduce the spiciness to "who was worse, US or USSR". (Suffice to say that "not as bad as Hitler" isn't exactly a rousing defense of anybody's character, fucking Stalin was one of the "good guys" thanks to that comparison) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2004, a radio commercial for the UK supermarket chain Somerfield, in which a man rejects his wife's suggested dinner saying "I've got nothing against faggots, I just don't fancy them" was found to have been innuendo which breached the Advertising and Sponsorship Code and was banned by the industry regulator Ofcom" ...Oh. 12 hours ago, Armagon said: ..hey wait @Saint Rubenio what is the Spaniard word for straw then?

It was wild to find out that Reagan was part of a union back in the 40s. Apparently some thought that he would be pro-union given his past. For Republicans however, cruelty is the point.
