- Comment on what language would be best for me to learn? 4 weeks ago:
Back in reddit in r/languagelearning whenever someone asked this question without giving any context about who they are or what they want out of language learning there was a long running joke to reply with “Uzbek”
You should learn Uzbek.

Oh yeah it understood me too, but its reply was a weird mix of dialect and non dialect
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know about creoles but with dialects in my experience it mixes the standard language, the dialect I use with it and other dialects. Probably confusing that they all use the same writing system and have some common vocab.

Uhh you’re welcome?
What are you thanking for?
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 2 months ago:
Yeah that was a letdown for sure. Still better than releasing it as a mobile game I think.
If you haven’t heard they recently released the source code of C&C generals and zero hour and there’s multiple efforts working on a community patch.
I’ve been watching the competitive scene of zero hour for a few years now. It’s really exciting and now that the source code’s out, sky’s the limit on what we can achieve.
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 2 months ago:
Heheh.
Well if it helps, a lot of these are sequels the user was anticipating because they loved a predecessor, so you can go and play that :D
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 2 months ago:
I should give it a try for sure.

I’m a battle network fan and never played Legends but I feel for you.

For sure, enemy variety is important.
- Comment on What do you think about random encounters? 8 months ago:
I agree FF style turn based combat is boring. I mean games that have an auto button that plays it for you are admitting it.
That’s why I like games that have more creative combat that blends different genres. Undertale has some turn based, some realtime bullet hell. Battle network has a real time grid based with card game elements.
- Comment on What do you think about random encounters? 8 months ago:
Haha I have thought about that too actually. Mainly because my career path and favorite hobby were both decided by small random moments. It’s definitely made me more open to new experiences.
- Comment on What do you think about random encounters? 8 months ago:
I also hate grinding but sometimes I get addicted to it. Like my lizard brain is likes watching the numbers go up. I recently loaded an old save in final fantasy and saw my level at 99, health at 999/999 and gold at 999999 and was like “I don’t remember grinding any of this”. It happens in a trance.
- Comment on What do you think about random encounters? 8 months ago:
I agree these games made big improvements but I still see them as bandages to the inevitable problems that came with random encounters. There’s no undoing the interruption of flow you know.
I think it’s a tradeoff though like I said. Because I don’t know how you can have a combat system as cool and creative as say Undertale (blending turn based and realtime bullet hell) or battle network (blending turn based, real time and card game) without it being completely separate from the overworld.
- Comment on What do you think about random encounters? 8 months ago:
Good point. I guess it is 2 things I’m talking about.
I think battle transitions are a tradeoff. They free combat but at the cost of interrupting flow. If you don’t do anything with the freedom they give you and you just make the same tired pokemon style choose from a menu combat it’s not worth it.
- Comment on What do you think about random encounters? 8 months ago:
I haven’t played any CRPGs and I’m not familiar with them. Any recommendation of an intro to the genre?
But many of your points are still familiar. Trivial encounters feeling like an annoying waste of time, items or abilities that control the encounter rates, etc.
I think making regions safe is a great idea but I would want it tied to a challenging side quest. Like maybe you can intentionally fight a harder version of an area’s enemies to make it safe?
- Comment on What do you think about random encounters? 8 months ago:
That’s a good point. Trivial encounters feel like a grindy and annoying waste of time. I guess it doesn’t necessarily have to be that way though.
I also think Final Fantasy falls too much on the old turn based choose from a menu, watch a cut scene system, when there was room for something more interesting. That’s just taste though I guess. I haven’t even played any other than Final Fantasy I and Tactics Advance maybe they changed.
