Was this comment meant to be a reply to me? You seem to be arguing with a bunch of things I never said

Oblivion without the comically fucked-up levelling system sounds like a blast

Ooh, that's interesting. I'm not really sure what to look for here, could you give me an example of a language/script that has that?

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 18 points 3 hours ago

Well that does make it quite regrettable for most people, I suppose

Some instances (kbin.earth in my case, which runs on mbin) show upvotes and downvotes separately. Your comment looks like this to me

It's pretty normal for language to vary between generations, it's just that we all communicate via text a lot more now, so differences in punctuation usage have become noticeable parts within those language variations

it's not a grammar competition.

While I agree that there's less of an expectation of grammar, informal text communication has definitely developed grammar of its own. OP mentioned full stops, for example — ending a message with one is a tone marker now

Excuse you, this isn't unconventional at all, 69,000,000 Brits do it every morning

Gallium? It's solid at room temperature, but your own body heat will melt it, so you lie down on a solid block of metal and then slowly sink into a melting puddle in the middle of it. It's non-toxic and six times denser than water so you'd be really floaty on it too

This is an ophanim if the bible was written by hedgehogs

But I do kinda like it

 

I'm no master photographer, I'm afraid, these were all taken on my cheap phone. Fortunately the subject matter does a lot to make up for it

Shoutout to poleslav for telling me to ignore the thermometer and giving general encouragement. My distillation efficiency was absolutely terrible and I got the balance of juniper and hibiscus way off, so it's sweeter than I intended, but it's definitely pleasantly drinkable.

For those that can't read my handwriting, it was a super basic barley mash to make the base alcohol, then juniper, hibiscus, rose, and elderflower as botanicals.

 

Over a decade in the works and two since Time I, it is here. I've only had one listen so far, and not really enough to offer an actual review, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I think I'm going to be coming back to the guitar solo two third of the way through Storm quite a bit.

 

I'm particularly fond of heather ales and spruce beers. The only sahti (which has juniper) I've had was made by me, so I have no idea if I got it traditionally right, but I certainly enjoyed it. No disrespect to all you IPA lovers out there, but the hops-forward style isn't my thing, so for those of you that are in the same camp, where do you like to turn?
