@ICherishNahida The Moon really is one of the prettiest locations Genshin has done. Man between that and Temple of Space they've been cooking lately. Can't wait to see how crazy they go for Snezhnaya. Make sure you poke around moon there's secret little cutscenes with moon sisters

From everyone here at Pocketpair, thank you so much for your continued support!
Today i finished watching that Dogeza panties anime. It was definitely one of the anime I've ever seen. Too formulaic. And definitely no Put them on Takamine or Inukai Dog. No real artistry and the end cards were only good quality fanservice.
I have more exploring to do but I finished moon quest yesterday. What do you mean the dragons had a death star? Also I chose to continue the cycle of Project Moongazer. To me its better to have hope. What did you all choose? Also that Moongazer brought the twins to Teyvat. 10/10
Sandrone is one of the characters where I absolutely love her EN and JP VA so much. They both give amazing performances and also Mariko Honda stream clips are so good. She's also so based. But both Deenen and her are really great and do great work.
Palworld passes 40 million players!🎉
Thank you all so much for your incredible support!

Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.
Leave him to me.
In writing science fiction, how do you introduce new language without tedious explanations?
1. You don't need new words for already existing concepts. If it looks like a rabbit, call it a rabbit. If it's an alien rabbitlike creature, say so once and then keep calling it a rabbit with no further qualifiers. That's why American robins are not the same bird as English robins, yet we don't respell it or qualify it unless the difference is important to the story.
2. Future slang? Go to town. The Russian word “horosho” (great, terrific) became “horrorshow” in A Clockwork Orange — pronounced almost identically in England. Foreign words can easily be picked up and adapted, as I did with Battle School slang in Ender's Game. Isolated groups inevitably develop private argots or cants, and you can raid other languages, famous or common names (who could have predicted the harsh transformation of “Karen” in recent English?), archaic words (why not resurrect forsooth, forthwith, wight, or gaunt with new meanings, which may or may not be related to the old meaning?), and completely made-up words — like the origin of copacetic or atone or tintinnabulation? Historically, the once-endearing, now-offensive “pickaninny” came from the Portuguese “pequenina.” I used the same root for the name of a sentient alien species in Speaker for the Dead: pequeninos, augmented by the more derisive term “piggies.”
3. Newly invented objects or processes can become new meanings for old words, like the “desk” that's really a holographic tablet computer in Ender's Game (which I wrote before there were tablet computers). Or you can use a great word that other writers have introduced into the language, as has happened with robot, android (which Lucas deftly turned into “droid” though it referred to Artoo Detoo, which was decidedly not at all an android), or ansible, which Le Guin had used for the identical concept, so I paid her the respect of not renaming what had already been introduced.
4. Shortening of words, like “facsimile” becoming “fax” and then becoming a verb as well as a noun. (And now becoming obsolete along with the machine.) Or trade names becoming generics like kleenex, aspirin, tampon, statin, scooter, Vespa.
Explanations are not tedious if you first show us the thing or process in action and then have a character refer to it by your target word.
Are we really doing 'it is fine to refund indie games less than 2 hours long after playing' again?
There's pretty much no way you can argue that it's fine and be seen as a normal well-adjusted person. Of course it isn't fine.
If you do this you are an incredibly weird person.
