Man, I hated genders when learning Russian. Objects don’t have genders, stop!!!

(I guess other language users would have similar gripes with Estonian but with grammatical cases. Sorry not sorry with our 14 (and Finns with 15 lol+lmao))

But this was doubly annoying because in Russian the gendered words also had specific cases aaaaaaaa

But then again, I guess us managing to have a completely correct sentence - while slightly nonsensical - consisting entirely of vowels would also blow people’s minds while they’re talking about German words…

Done it!

I got to 25 end, I can carry Ghiza’s Wheel, Vulgar Militia Saw and the Full moon Crossbow.

Now to do some other stats before I have to push it up to 45 so I can carry the Jar Cannon, making her the character with the most END out of my roster.

Not even wearing heavy armour.

Since the quality build is the only one of my builds with any amount of strength in them, I’ll double it up as my Beast Cleric build.

Which is oddly fitting in a way since Bloodborne was about not turning into a beast and one of my two BB characters in the game is gonna start using beast spells.

Okay, technically 3 BB characters, but the 3rd got remade into DS3.

Would actually be way more fitting on him, but he’s already a dex/int hybrid (following a build that uses raptor talons on him and it doubled up with int already)

They do indeed not have genders. But they do have a noun class so check-mate, gekko :sunglasses: (naming it “gender” was just a bit stupid but you’ll have to discuss that with linguists… who will agree and then not change it anyway)

Reminds me, if you’re learning German and trying out pronouncing things, here’s a list of how to tackle sorting out having an understandable accent for the language:

  • figure out vowels and diphtongues (umlauts included)
  • look up the very easy syllable stress rules
  • figure out the two different ch sounds
  • maybe struggle with some consonant clusters
  • [LITERALY ANYTHIGN ELSE]
  • [SERIOUSLY ANYTHING]
  • look at how to do the R, discover that German really doesn’t care how you pronounce it and instantly stop caring about it

Gotta love starting the day with multiple wasps having stung you on the way to work.

What is it with this contrary laptop…

last few days, its usb ports have been acting up. I plug in my external drive and the slighest movement causes it to disconnect and reconnect. in every port. causing anything im doing to crash and then needing to be cleanly reinstalled. its getting infuriating when my internal has 450gbs

Funny side-story in regards to german as a language and my own experience to it. Went to Berlin once as part of a school/college trip back in the 2010s. That in itself was pretty amusing since the teacher assured us we would be fine and everyone speaks perfect fluent english.

We then came to our Hostel -deep- into eastern Berlin and almost the entire surrounding area and neighbourhood only spoke russian or german, with only a handful speaking very basic english. Once we went out the rest of the city/bit outside it, alot of people spoke english.

But yeah, we also had those little travel dictionaries with us. And a list of most common phrases which included basic stuff like: “Where is the bathroom, how much does it cost, what time is it, do you speak english, and The car has flipped over upside down.”

I seem fall into the extremes of either pronouncing it as in

Or the polar opposite, like this guy at his most extreme:

Ah yes, Germany is known for having lots of ramps in the streets and very bouncy roads, so these things do happen quite often.

All of June and the first half of July, when everyone is still working and there’s not many tourists: Brilliant sunshine, hardly a breeze and scorching record-breaking temperatures.
The six-week period in which schools break up and your tourist town expects to make the majority of its annual income: Overcast skies, gales and a strong chance of rain.
