Pinned post

eventually i may do a more proper intro post, but as a placeholder for now:

hi, i’m alyssa, or lyssa, or alice. or a bunch of other names if you know me well.

i don’t know yet what i’ll about yet, but possibly my daily life, or things i read or watch, or write.

kinda impressed that tumblr has managed to make their website take several seconds before it even requests the javascript necessary for the page to work

ttrpg posting 

my players’ characters successfully escaped captivity without being sacrificed to a lamia. and also saved several other captives. good job them.

you sure cause a lot of apocalypses in path of exile

requesting advice on reading textbooks (and more general reading for broad learning).
i have some techniques for reading for more specific knowledge, but if i’m trying to read a text to absorb its contents in general, i don’t have a very satisfactory approach. what do y’all do? reading or note-taking approaches both might be helpful to suggest.

additional constraints: my memory is poor as often my (non-medicated, at least) focus and attention span.

i request recommendations for good introductory linguistics materials

actually finished a play through of lady killer in a bind.

The Boss complaining about the Brother not reading their organization’s style guide. amazing. no notes.

gamefreak should be forbidden by law from putting pickup mons early on in a game's routes because then i get a zigzagoon early and feel locked in to keeping it in my party forever

beach and wind are not the best combo

conlanging problems 

hmmmm, i have a problem not explicitly stated. to solve it, should i:

the proto-language has a tripartite noun-class system whose classes are i am tentatively calling "warm", "cold", "immaterial". as is common, some nouns make those names seem totally ridiculous. for example, tooth (ekańaš2, pronounced [ekæŋæʃ˧]) is immaterial

currently working on the as-yet unnamed proto-language that most of the contemporary languages of the monitor-lizard-people of the western grasslands and forests are descended from. (planned for later: four child languages of it, an unrelated language, and three vulgar-latin-style dialects of one of the child languages in regions where the other child languages and the unrelated language were the main local languages)

i have not been working more on Ifadätels due to not needing more details about it yet, but i did do some world-building on a different setting on thursday and then yesterday and today i've been doing different conlanging for that world :3

not to endorse turning a beach into an artificially forested beach town, but sand streets are neat

very curious why there was a single building along the highway that’s been tagged by several people. who is pulling off the highway in the countryside to tag a building. and also why only that one? there was another building just past that one. plus lots of other buildings along the highway.
