VN Ren'Py My Dorm [v0.20.1 S2 Ch.8] [Tropecita Games]

[Dr. Mick]

There's an OLD joke in Portuguese (no clue if it exists anywhere else) that says: "I speak all the languages in the world, except Chinese.", so, when I encounter a language that I can't understand, that's obviously Chinese.

"Isso para mim é Chinês!" (For me that's Chinese) and all is solved.

Peace

There's a similar one in English. It changes Chinese to Greek, with the claim that "I can speak any language but Greek", then when asked about any other language, the punchline is "It's all Greek to me".

Happens with my German too, only when I call my Mother I have oportunity to speak it.

My wife is the only one I know who speaks Arabic, because she learned it at the same time/place as me... so it's kinda the blind leading the blind as far as maintaining fluency.

It's "interesting", for lack of better word, at least to hear that as a Greek...

Well, figure out when the Germans said " That seems Spanish to me" how I felt

That was actually originally supposed to be a compliment.
Suggesting that Greeks were so advanced that other peoples couldn't understand them, alluding to how far ahead they were from other societies of the time.

 

[xapican]

The german equivalent to "Greek" comes from the time of the Habsburger King Charles V he was King of Germany and Spain, so there were allways Spanish Nobles on his court.

For some strange reason, I just visualized an old guy spraying Windex on everything and claiming that all words have a greek origin (even kimono...)

It's an OLD saying: "It's all Greek to me." Not sure if it's just an American saying, but even my dad, who was born in 1905 used to say it. But Greeks say: “Εμένα, αυτά μου φαίνονται Κινέζικα.” Go figure. lol

No offense intended... I figured (perhaps incorrectly) that, since Nia Vardalos (the originator of those running gags) is Greek, I would be okay posting that.

“Εμένα, αυτά μου φαίνονται Κινέζικα.”

Let me guess Google Translate helped you there with the writing if you are a polyglot illiterate as you said yourself.

Oh It is totally Ok to post that, just that I heard that like a Milion times in my work and free time from friends and colleagues when 1 and 2 came out... That's why my reaction was like that...

Actually no. I just did a search of what the Greek equivelent of our saying was and that popped up. lol

It's definitely politically incorrect, but Nia gets away with it for obvious reasons, and it's funny as hell (IMO) in the context of the movie... kind of like Fisher Stevens' character Ben Jabituya from the 1980s movie Short Circuit, though that's much more politically incorrect, as there's no Indian/Pakistani connection to the movie that I'm aware of, and Fisher Stevens is a Jewish-American (not Indian/Pakistani)... still really funny, though.

I must have stumbled into the wrong thread, I thought this was the My Dorm thread?

I mean this seems pretty on brand.

 

[FatGiant]

I mean this seems pretty on brand.

I see no untruths.

We all enjoy these long conversations about tangents that go from discussing drinks to pizzas to wars and lost loves. It is in fact the charm of this thread... that and... well... Martha obviously.



Peace

Again, for emphasis...

</stream-of-consciousness-post>

We tend to do a lot of this (myself, almost exclusively).

Actually, we (or they, more accurately) typically discuss the game, along with "tangent information".

900 pages!

And that's only the new posts since I logged in yesterday!

get a spot all decked out

I'm a little verklempt from the 900 pages thing, so talk amongst yourselves for a moment. I'll give you a topic:
Spotted Dick is
(a) a poorly named British food item
(a) something that it is hard to imagine the MC not having already had at least once in this game so far

Suspension of disbelief I guess?

 

[Skep-tiker]

When will there be NTR content?
I think the company plot wasnt followed quite some time. Didnt the want to visit the island? Anyways, just a front for this trollpost...

There will be two scenes focused on it in the next update. They will solve a "small mystery" and show a bit of the company's business structure. It will also (pseudo-)schedule the visit to Aruba.
