re: worldbuilding
And so for the Wụūgụ people, I kind of feel stuck - there are so many different ways of organising societies, how do I just choose (or invent) ONE??
And any choice I make is going to have huge impacts on how the rest of things go.
re: worldbuilding
One of the things I'm struggling with is working out the economy/governance.
Here's a few real-life systems:
* the Inca empire (the empire provides food + clothing in exchange for labour; the empire does not trade with others because it just conquers them instead)
* Aboriginal (Australian) groups (in group people do tasks as per social roles; trading with other groups is gift-exchanges)
* Igbo communities (republic of village-states; with organised markets)
worldbuilding
today I've done some research into:
* The Inca Empire
* Traditional Woodblock printing in Japan
* The Igbo, Yoruba, and Javanese calendars
* Yoruba and Inca religions
and the cool thing is: I'm learning a lot!
the less-cool thing is: oh gods there are so many decisions to be made with my worldbuilding project and I have no idea which ones are the Right™ ones.
@monorail it's so good!!!!!!
@monorail omg, is this the one which is full of impossibly evil ones?
@monorail Kihe a mauli ola

There's lexicon-building challenge happening this month on reddit, and I think the challenge looks really well made:

I don't think I'll have time to do it this month (I'm super busy for the next 1.5 weeks), but... it looks like a great challenge: multiple prompts, and rules to encourage you to do more interesting things (words with multiple meanings, homophones, deriving words from other words, etc)

@anna yay!

@codl a... a what??
Rayman 3, poll
I'm getting back into playing Rayman 3, and I'm torn...
On the one hand, I'd love to play with the Better Rayman 3 mod, which allows widescreen resolutions and playing in a window!
On the other hand, it's not allowed in speedruns, and I love doing speedruns of Rayman 3!
Maybe I could take the opportunity to try out playing in a gamecube emulator? The Gamecube speedruns allow for the most glitches...
What do you all think?
re: Rayman 3, poll
@BatElite One of the other aspects of the mod fixes a bug that caused parts of the game to run 1.2× faster than usual - the problem is that (even though I probably wouldn't submit the runs anyway), there would be no way for me to compare my time to others.
@pan that's a fun idea!
A similar (but definitely not the same) game is Microscope, which is a collaborative world-building game!
re: Rayman 3, poll
I guess I should note for this: the glitches on PC are the ones I'm used to, so if I go for the GCN emulator route, I would have to re-learn the speedrun...
re: Rayman 3, poll
@Felthry I think I have garlic hardware, so it should be ok!
I'm more worried about making sure I do it right, and not getting caught (b/c Australia has stronger anti-piracy laws than a lot of other places)
