I'm pretty forgetful when it comes to doing chores, I never did them as a kid mostly because they were already done by everyone else in the house by the time I would think to do them, but in the current place my MTG buddy is like a super neat freak. He can't stand it when things get out of control dirty which is why were spending a whole day cleaning.

I have no problem doing the dishes, but if you want me to do something you're gunna have to tell me. I get too easily side tracked otherwise.

Cancer attacks healthy and strong cells/teams, not dead/dying cells/teams.
Huehuehue

Well for me my mom died when i was young and so my dad was always working. So if i didn't do chores shit would just not get done, so it's a habit for me to do everything. I also hate dirty things and when I see my room getting dusty for instance I clean it within the next 24 hours.

True that brother. Hold strong against the dirty Hearthstoners.


I can support this.

I definitely want a tattoo. I think on my left pec. my ex gf came up with a great idea combining a traditional basotho hat and a fiddle (cause fiddler on the roof is my favorite movie). I'm probably getting it when I get back.

@bp do you have siblings or were you left to do most of it on your own? obviously my situation does no compare, but every Sunday my parents made me do chores before I could do anything else. clean my room, clean the bathroom, and vacuum the house. I HATED it.

funny enough, when Sunday rolls around I can't resist the urge to clean my hut. damn those parental virtues.

Can talk about HS instead if you want: halp fellow TLers D:
Picked Priest because I suck at Shaman and I'm not sure how reliable Druid is in arena (also my previous Priest runs were far better than my Paladin and Rogue ones while being pretty much braindead), but now I still have to make choices anyway because all 3 of these look pretty good. Not that I'd complain about it (lack of removal on the other hand... gimme nova pls).

I'd say Hogger, really underrated imo.

Also my own brag, just went 11/3 in Arena in my 5th run ever. Woot.

That's not the worst example really, nervi suits it rather well (see it as a old-fashioned variant of minion focusing on the brutal/violent aspect) and something like "venture co." is pretty random already.

Names like "Bloodhoof" lose a lot more in the translation because of how French works, and you've got shit like Hellscream too.
One of the badly translated cards is Stampeding Kodo (referring to the beast) that becomes "Ruée de Kodo", literally "charge/rush of Kodo(s)" (referring to the action).

Do they not just leave the names as is, or do they try to translate those?
Ie sang + whatever french is for hoof

Bloodhoof is literally "Sabot-de-sang", as in "hoof made of blood". Something like Bloodyhoof would flow better because it'd be translated as "Sabot-sanglant". Same number of syllables, but the abundance of determiners like "de" kinda hurts the flow.

Up until TFT included, Blizzard kept the English names, but starting with WoW they translated everything. Stuff like Sylvanas Windrunner became Sylvanas Coursevent (literally Windrun, problem with dropping the determiner is that it makes it sound/look better but you lose meaning: you can't tell if it's intended as "running like the wind", running on/riding the wind", "racing the wind", etc.), Ironforge became Forgefer (here there's no ambiguity despite the lack of determiner because whichever one you'd use would still mean "Iron Forge").
Hellscream is translated as Hurlenfer, porte-manteau between Hurle (shouts, yells, screams) and Enfer (Hell). Literally, it could be "Hurlement infernal" or "Hurlement des Enfers" depending on whether it's meant as "A scream from Hell" or "Hell's scream", but hurlement is way too long a word to use elegantly here, so they settled with something shorter. The issue is that where Hellscream is ambiguous because it could have 2 meanings, Hurlenfer is ambiguous because it has no meaning and you're left to interpret it. It's the case with a lot of French translations of names where you get the intent from the original name rather than the translation itself that just puzzles you.

wave pls alaric just posted a picture of what the french name for cairne is

I guess the venture co just looks so funny from a german perspective..


Speaking of bad videogame translations, this is the reason I can't play games in german unless that's the original language. The translations just looks so incredibly awkward if there's not a good german word/phrase for the original meaning and then it either is left as it's in the original (in which case I might as well play in english) or it's awkwardly translated in which case I always cringe really hard.

My sister is 7.5 years older than me (she actually turns 31 tomorrow). When I was really young she always would wash the floors once/month, but once I turned like, 10, I began doing that always. And dusting. She would sometimes vacuum but normally my dad did that because my sis was pretty useless at that stage of her life lol.
It was weird because we always used to fight a LOT growing up. Now we always just joke and get along super well. That part seems to run in the family though... >_>
I know when my aunt and dad were growing up, she would pick on him when he was really young (they're like 6 years apart), and my dad ended up hitting her over the head with a cooking pot for self defense. Put a dent in the darn thing.

When a bunch of GBA games came out in "European version" (as in English, French, German, and either Dutch and/or Spanish instead of national releases) I used to read the booklet in both French and English (and sometimes switch the game to reread some scenes too, most of all with FE7's support conversations) after I noticed a French booklet lacked one information compared to the English one.

In the end, the English booklets packed less information than the French one on a regular basis (Golden Sun had a bunch of details on the characters that weren't mentioned in the English part for example), which surprised me a bit (I assume it's because it was directly translated from the Japanese for most of my games, American games would have had their booklets redacted in English to begin with so that couldn't happen). I can't really remember how the Spanish fared, and I don't speak the other 2 languages.

Tattoos. Who has um and what are they? Do they mean anything to you or were you just drunk out of your mind and it happened?


I want 3

  • One with some family/my mom significance on one of my shoulder blades or rib area
  • Small symbol of the water tribe somewhere + Show Spoiler +
    [image loading]
    - one of the things that stuck with me after briefly doing jiu jitsu in college was "Be the water around the rock"
  • A gymnastics one (pommel horse with the words "Citius Altius Fortius" around it) on my left thigh


Haven't actually pulled the trigger on any of them - not really a high enough priority yet
