Ceci n’est pas une bière.

Ah yes, the Waterworld strat.

That’s assuming that a Turing Machine is the most powerful possible model for computation. Which it may be, but it’s an open question.

The ‘P’ in “IoT” stands for privacy.

I mean, 独語, and 仏語 are perfectly cromulent, albeit less common than the katakana versions. And 米語 likewise exists, referring specifically to American English.

Yeah, it does, and it’s written the same in Chinese. I guess if 中国 is technically considered a loanword, then 中国語 is consistent with ドイツ語 and フランス語.

It’s because “England” has a Japanese style adjective-country formation (英国), which then follows the native pattern for language (英語). By contrast, “Germany” (ドイツ) and “France” (フランス) are borrowed phonetically.

To your complaint about “Japan-language”, note that Japan’s official name is 日本国.

What I can’t explain is why 国 comes along for the ride when it’s China. (中国語)

This is somewhat similar to cannons from xiangqi, which move like rooks but can only capture by leaping over another piece on the line of attack.

IIRC this is from one of those installations where a town puts up a bunch of statues with the same shape for people and/or organizations to paint. In this case, the statues were boll weevils.

By asking to play a centaur, you’re either declaring that your character will be constantly naked from the waist down, or opening the can of worms that is “what would centaur pants even look like?”

Fun fact: “nuclear” ultimately comes from the Latin nucula, ‘little nut’. The c and l being adjacent is the result of metathesis, similar to pronouncing “ask” as “ax”.

…in service of his fantasy epic.

This is wrong. The the histories, cultures, etc. were in service of the conlangs. Sure, he eventually wrote some stories set in that world, but that wasn’t the reason he created it.

The Mierdas Touch.

Also Citizen Sleeper.

I mean, they do kind of resemble lobster or crayfish, which are delicious.

I’m just gonna leave this here:

Zigmenthotep on YouTube covered F.A.T.A.L as part of their “Let’s make us a character” series. It took four episodes, in a format that is usually one-and-done.

However bad you’ve heard the game is, I assure you it’s worse.

I imagine you could do something entertaining with that premise, in a Typing of the Dead sort of way.
