æʃliŋ, purrepurrocessor @aescling@cat.family

@vaporeon_ many people are saying this

@Lady @Satsuma @wallhackio you somewhat misunderstand the sense of milking i meant

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ kirby is actually that pawerful though

@Lady @wallhackio @Satsuma nobody calls you cat Margaret though

@vaporeon_ oh i should mention, though the series is named after her, zelda is the purrincess you save. the player character is named link. the structural misogyny of the series is very real

@Lady @Satsuma @wallhackio boring

@Lady @wallhackio ... so you do claim membership

@vaporeon_ zelda is definitely not cis though the series is too cowardly to really lean into that one

@vaporeon_ i can’t speak on kirby games other than that they are platformers, generally on the furgiving side, and that there are a lot of titles

zelda games are adventure games (some might say jrpgs, but the emphasis on roleplay is barely a thing). lots of dungeon crawling. nintendo deemphasizes narrative concerns generally when conceptualizing the games but that hasn’t stopped them from having interesting stories anyway. wind waker (gamecube, with a wii u rerelease) is a fucking banger if you can emulate it well enough then breath of the wild (wii u) has by far the most engaging overworld navigation and a secretly rather good story (if with some major missteps—the player character really should have been zelda)

@wallhackio we are enthusiastic about dragon milking here in the cat family

@vaporeon_ what about them, exactly

@vaporeon_ let’s go is good; i need to finish it

@vaporeon_ speaking of, i own the switch rerelease of pokkén and have yet to play it even once lmao

@onfy @wallhackio @vaporeon_ like, that birthdate never changes

@onfy @wallhackio @vaporeon_ i think the idea with age is that birthyear is an essence. you will always have been born as many years ago as your age implies

@vaporeon_ only spinoffs, like pokkén tournament

@onfy @wallhackio @vaporeon_

The "essence/state" distinction between the two verbs is often misinterpreted as a "permanent/temporary" distinction. In most contexts these distinctions are practically synonymous (including all of the above examples) but there exist cases in which they are not, and using the latter distinction can lead one to choosing the incorrect verb. For example:

• Mi abuelito está muerto. ― My grandad is dead. (Here está is used instead of es because death is a state, even though it is permanent.)
• ¡Todavía somos jóvenes! ― We are still young! (Here somos is used instead of estamos because a person's age is seen as a defining characteristic rather than a state, even if it is not permanent.)

Also, when stating the location of an object (but not an event), estar is used, regardless of whether the location is permanent or not:

• Madrid está en el centro de España. ― Madrid is in central Spain.

not confusing at all

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ like this, purresumably

@Lady @Satsuma i was talking about your gf but sure

@onfy @wallhackio @vaporeon_ it gets confusing though because i’m pretty sure the current weather is ser, which feels like an exception to that rule
