Re: Learning a new Language
Just a word of caution about DuoLingo from my experience a few years back is that it sometimes didn't cover important cultural/contextual factors about the language. I was studying German, and DuoLingo was simply using du as the generalized form of "you"--I learned later that du is only us...

Re: Yacht Rock
And if anything is going to distract you from finishing SwampVenture I hope it’s you getting super into Yacht Rock and taking up that life style. You should at least treat yourself to some smoooooth on your birthday. Have a good one. Thanks! And you're right, that did send me into a (semi-)deep div...

Re: SwampVenture (New RimWorld-ish game thing)
So I've got some general ideas for about a dozen Swamper's roles and quests in the game, but happy to take suggestions for others.
Also taking suggestions on people's "signature quotes" that appear ambiently as shown in the examples above.

Some early ideas for who's who in SwampVille: rass is the town archivist who has perfect recall of obscure historical information that can help you on your quests. BFJ is the town wizard who runs a magic shop. He also has a golem that he has trained to attack anti-Semites. DSafetyGuy is the head of ...

Spinning this off from the last RimWorld thread. Sorry again for the long hiatus on RimWorld.
