for some reason, our brain is convinced that the second word in "Ludum Dare" has two syllables

did we read that somewhere or did that just happen in our head somehow?

@packbat that's how latin is pronounced

had to look it up because i’ve long forgotten my vocab but dare is the infinitive for give

@aescling that's really freaking cool - yeah, that's probably something we were told, then, because that sounds right

@aescling it's almost certainly an approximation of the intent rather than an accurate communication of it, which makes it a roughly correct translation?

@packbat both are literal for different senses of ludus so it’s not really even an approximation

@aescling fair!

just, like, if it's a game jam, they probably meant the game sense as the primary meaning
