Yeah I got called a narcissist with my worst ex and then just flat out asked if they knew what it meant, I think it was a little telling they didn’t actually know (not that I do either lol). It’s really hard being with someone who makes you feel loved but doesn’t love you and I’m so proud of you for being on the other side of it and being happy!

As everyone has said, lossless compression might not have great ratios, but if it’s still worth it I recommend dwarfs as it creates read only mountable filesystems with minimal setup https://github.com/mhx/dwarfs

Nah it makes sense

This is fantastic! The system seems pretty well optimized for your use case which is hard to do when working with something so unique, although maybe the 5 tone characters should look more different. I like really like the final look being somewhat like devanagari even if it shares none of the letters. You should be very proud of your work!

I second this! It’s extremely unique and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a conlang where the method of articulation is so different but still very reasonable as a concept, if you’re looking for inspiration I recommend silbo gomero from the canary Islands as it is a whistled form of Spanish.

Statistically 4/4 are silly :3

Doing a bg3 campaign rn and what started as a well planned attack ended with my half orc fighter picking up a crate and hitting the last enemy so hard over the head with it the crate ceased to exist. All in all, a very fun time.

Yeah, it almost looks like you’d be able to run things faster than natively on windows, which is why I’m suspicious (not that it’s a lie just that the numbers lack context). It doesn’t say what the numbers represent I think?

God damn I’m genuinely impressed

I quite like both these characters and wish we could have them be companions, I’m still happy with what we got though and it’d be asking a lot to add such a huge amount of stuff on top of what’s already in the game.

I think it works really well for the goals of the language (complexity and conciseness) although I still prefer V3. A Hangul like syllable block system is cool and has it’s benefits but if you’re clever then an abuguida is better since it makes more recognisable words in languages like English that are less analytic. Hangul is sick as hell tho and maybe I should make a version for English.

Not a language I thought would be referenced in this topic but damn I’ll take it. Maximum migraines indeed.

Beautiful tho, one of my favourite inspirations for writing.

Wouldn’t it be blue?

I haven’t heard anything about David Attenborough talking about plant based stuff so I won’t dispute it but he did help found and fund the zoology museum in my town, one that specifically tries to educate people on the dangers of climate change and making species endangered. From what I’ve seen of his filming they’re pretty conscious about not leaving any waste behind too.

Yeah I saw that script in the photo, it looks very strange and there aren’t really any scripts at the moment that look like that for a number of reasons, but still could be interesting. As for the art though, I’m a real sucker for descriptions of drawn science/history with neographic writing.

This is sick! I’ve seen a lot of systems inspired by this style before and it’s obvious why😁. I think it’s cool that the individual letters have lots of detail but also form very interesting calligraphy like shapes when together. I assume theres no meaning but still the style is to be admired.

Quora can be such a cesspool godamn. I once found a musician who claimed octopi have higher IQ than humans and have much better visual memory and would be better at maths. The only time I’ve encountered actually encountered antivaxxers is on there.

Shrek 2 dumbass

In the UK the government was considering switching back to imperial (just to pretend we’re not in Europe). Honestly I think they didn’t because otherwise they’d get too many milkshakes thrown at them.

I second the dynamo, never felt it pulling me back and I always have working lights. I tease my bike enthusiast friend whenever he asks to charge his lights but it really is just convenient. So far I’ve never broken them so I think that’s a plus.
