re: pokeposting 

@aschmitz later on it's not as big a deal because most things you want you can just buy or have plenty of anyway. (some exceptions but for those you mostly need the pickup mon at super high level and the chances are still low)

re: pokeposting 

@aschmitz there is also a factor of like, it's more appealing early on because you can get things like ultra balls very early

re: pokeposting 

@aschmitz there is but it does not really solve the problem of "every time i battle without zigzagoon in my party i'm missing out on a chance at a pickup"

pokeposting 

do not put pokemon with pickup in the first five routes shall be the whole of the law.

pokeposting 

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

@aschmitz programming language with word-class agreement requirements

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.

joke 

tv shows mix their intro music so loud relative to other sound in the show so that when your neighbors in an apartment building are watching a show you hear the intro music and think of the show and are more likely to watch it more

@Lady cool. i'm not super concerned about publishing it as part of the wiki since people can go look at the repo if they really want hehe

@Lady is it cool if i stick my lexicon in the wiki repo too? (if i've got my grammar/etc. notes there might as well put my lexicon next to it...)

@Lady i've looked at that (LREC) before. :3 perhaps i will put my notes on the wiki indeed :)

@Lady hm. i don’t think i do currently? probably going to start out by putting together one or more languages for names and inscriptions within the Great Labyrinth in my rpg campaign. if you’ve got advice for good formats in which to keep basic notes and a lexicon for easy editing and reference that would be helpful. or honestly just advice in general hehe.
