Pretty sure that's dutch xD
Yep, it is Dutch. It's congratulating for the work, and wishing a good week-end and see you soon.
Psh, if decades of listening to anime theme songs has taught me anything it's that randomly dropping words and phrases from another language into your sentences is the cheat code for sounding cool.
Guys, it was sarcasm since Dutch is a weird mix of English and German. ;)

Well, a German friend had pointed out (this, may piss off many Belgians, but I am just referring) that Flemish to him sounded like bad German with bad grammatics (different pronounciation, though variable between different parts, no declensions, and no "let's build the longest word in the World" being the most visible differences), and probably you could say the same about Dutch (harsher pronounciation) but in reality, a German or a Dutch could retort your irony against you.

English if often referred to as "Germanic" language, due to the "anglo-saxons" (Saxons, being considered a Germanic tribe with Germanic language), but in reality, with exceptions, that appear mostly in "low English", especially modern English is full of vocabulary from Latin and Greek, either directly or through (old) French, and old German and old Dutch are closer to what "original" English could have been.
In +/- simplistic terms, the Normans (there, you can say Germanic word, Northmann) where Viking that had established themselves in France and Italy, so much that the language spoken at the court for a long period of time was not English, were (pig) Latin and French (well, the French of the time).
Even the English Royal family, is actually of German origin :p :), though that came much later.

Actually, the Germans themselves as one single group (let's me piss off some Germans as well, while I am that :p :)) originally were an invention of a ancient Roman, Tacitus, who simply used "Germania" and "Germans" to refer to all the people from territories North beyond the borders of the territory controlled by Rome.
It became then convenient for Germany itself, especially when Prussia and the others started creating modern Germany, and after in another historical period I am not mentioning, to put emphasis on the idea that "Germans" (better, Deustch, as in "land of the Deustch or "Deustchland") was since forever an homogeneous group, using the battle of Teotoburg as a kind of epic founding event and the victory of the pure spirit of the Germanic people etc. (put some nationalist rethoric here, feel free to put a reference to "race" instead of "spirit", because it was "fashionable" for some time).

Why is this also ironic ? The hero of Teotoburg could win that battle (actually, his people, but never mind that) because in reality he had previously the rank equivalent of general in the Roman army and was trained by the Romans.
He knew that doing an ambush in that forest territory while the Romans were in marching order, would eliminate completely the advantage from training, formation and logistics of the Romans, effectively transforming it in a disadvantage, while giving an advantage to way of fighting of the people he had available.
Certainly a good credit to his military abilities and his capability of using the knowledge and training he had acquired, but hardly a matter of "pure race".
Effectively, from the point of view of the Romans after that battle it was just "not worth spending more to go there again", playing a bit the snobbish approach :), while still doing business like with everybody else - raising a legion was not free of charge, so, it is documented that Rome was not happy about it, but did not bother.

For the aficionados of the incest patch, it will come out when Zorlun makes the public version available. Also, we coordinated with bibifoc, so, it is intended to be compatible with his "rename" mod (though for support with that, you have to address yourselves to him).

Curious to see how things will go later, though, it's a bit of a pity one has to chose between the cops and William+Cassius for the night, hopefully there will be ways to "recover" (well, the "rain check" does not automatically eliminate the possibility to go out later) but at the same time, it seems from one side Myriam is really becoming a bit Cassius's bitch (literally, no offense :)) if one goes for that the night before, from the other with the lawyer, , giving all the videos to the lawyer is a bit of a risky move, who tells us the lawyer will not ask an "extra payment" before the hearing to be sure to show only the ones, and only the bits, that can put Anthony in a bad position ?
I know, it is not said that everybody wants to "jump" :) Myriam, and there is professional ethics, her father could get him busted, etc., but...
And to be seen what will happen with the suitcase.

At the same time, , with Cassius getting more used to taking what he wants basically without even asking (if one went with the Cassius option for the night), it can become easier that something similar to that fun-made image with Miriam, Cassius and Katherine becomes a reality :p :)
We will see in the next Myriam-episode on this Myriam-channel (well, maybe does not sound as spiffy as the original, but I am curious to see how many will recognise the kind of reference :))

*SOCK* *KAPOW* Sad to admit that many of us are old enough to instantly recognise your Chiroptera reference. :D

Dogs aren't known for their tact and social etiquette, so Cassius should certainly try to

I am going to the main branch with bestiality and therefore I expect something new with Miriam, and with Katarina it would be great at all!
Have you NOT listened to ALL the times that the dev and others have told you that dev did NOT plan for any bestiality to happen with Katherine, and yet you go on and on and On and ON about it.....
