thetruegentleman posted:Endir is probably a distortion of Ejnir, or, "lone warrior/army", Nidr is probably a distortion of Nidhoggr, the dragon that lives beneath the roots of the world tree(and makes the soil fertile, I think? It would connect to him as being a father), and Kir probably means either far-sighted or sun (the former being more obvious, considering how he's supposed to be the intuitive one of the group). I don't know what a Setsuna is, but it's not Norse. And Julienne are a type of fries. So by that logic we should be naming the ship Chip, Curly, Deep Fry or maybe Poutine.

No no, Julie isn't spiteful enough, go for Jules. Really rub in that commoner slang all the royals hate. She's the only royal, right? If she hates it I'm not wrong to say all of them.

Given how many monsters we've had to fight that are based on sea animals, I think we should call it the Hindenburg, just in case we eventually have to fight a huge manatee.

The females aren't, which is why I didn't mention them: Aeterna (who's name is obviously related to time) and Julienne (who's name is probably related either to Julius, as in the emperor, or Jupiter, who's the king of the gods) are both Latin, while Setsuna is (obviously) Japanese. I'm fairly certain none of them are named after food.

So plugging Diange into google translate told me it's Chinese for "song" and a little more searching gave it as a Mandarin word. I could not even begin to guess why Endir, who seems to live in a world of mostly Scandinavian named people with some Japanese and French thrown in, would come up with a Chinese name as his first choice for an airship.Krumbsthumbs posted:No no, Julie isn't spiteful enough, go for Jules.

Trebuchet has the most potential of making Endir completely insufferably smug, but they're all bad choices and I'm sad that it's 2016 and we can't name our airships after dicks anymore.

I honestly just want the reaction of all characters for a stupid name and all these sound pretty good for that. If I could I would've suggest "Nidr's your dad", but shortening it to 10 characters looks stupid and gives me trouble pronouncing it as one word.

I suppose Kir will be more likely to support this version of Trebuchet, since he'd be producing ammunition (fiery, burning ammunition) rather than BECOMING ammunition.

Part XXXVI-2: Flight Club Music: A Moment of Respite Hmm... You know, the first thing that popped into my mind was... Diange? Diange? The heck is that? I don’t know! Bad brain fart... That’s terrible. I know. I know! Let me think a minute... Err... Hmm. I suppose Julie is off the table, huh? *unimpressed stare* You would be correct. Whatabout “Jules”? *unimpressed stare* See my previous response. C’mon, Endir. Stop screwing around! Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize “help me think of a name” actually meant “Endir think of a name while Kir puts on a ponderous expression and considers the different ways he could burn a village to the ground and make it look like an accident.” ... Wait! What about... Ir? ...Ir? Well, I’m Endir. You’re Kir. We’ve got a Nidr. There’s kind of a theme going on with the naming here. Just reaching its natural conclusion... ...Except for the part where half of our party isn’t following that. I don’t know. I kind of like it... But... Yeah... Well... Hmm. I suppose it wouldn’t do to name it after just the guys on staff’s naming scheme, huh? That’s very progressive of you, Endir. Could we hurry th— Oh... OH! OHHHHHHHH!!! I’ve got it! This is perfect. Absolutely PERFECT! *inhales and grins* Clearly... this ship should be named... This was originally just my veto name if all of your suggestions were garbage. Honestly, I’m disappointed how long it took someone else to suggest it so I could pretend the whole naming process was democratic. Good grief. ...You can’t be serious. *beaming grin* I have never been more serious in my life. ...... Excuse me? Why... Trebuchet? I feel as though I am missing something vital. Oh... That’s right. You’ve been bonkers since the mountain peak. Yeah, the land leading to the Last Lands is kinda... goneish. So I had the absolutely brilliant plan of... She doesn’t need to hear the whole ca— ...building a catapult. ...A catapult? Yeah, so we were gonna take Kir and tie a rop— *sweats* You know what? *puffs up* I hereby name this ship... Trebuchet! *nods in approval* The form is different but the spirit is the same. ...I’m still not sure I understand but... *looks back, frowns, and mouths “just go with it” to Julienne* A fine name indeed. Ain’t that a li’l tacky soundin’? It is the legendary airship of an ancient royal family, after all... *death glare at Nidr* Oh? That right, Nidr? What would you prefer? The Deadbeat Dad? Secret Papa? Chil— ...What? *sweats* ...T-Then again, ain’t all ship names kinda tacky? Heh... Yeah... Yeah... So, Trebuchet, eh? Ha... *nods* I think it’s a good name. Alright, let’s do this thing! Onward, Trebuchet! New Music: Towards the Distant Horizon (It’s a pretty good airship flying theme!) This thing pretty much flies itself! Akash did help us out back there, so we oughta give him a ride sometime soon... Is that some kinda bad joke? That poo poo covered hobo is NOT stepping foot on this airship... Who is Akash? I just said: a poo poo covered hobo. That is not the most informative description. I mean... literally. He’s a vagrant out of work shipwright who covers himself in monster fecal matter and other vague "bodily fluids" as he put it. ...... W-Why...? Severe untreated mental illness. Don’t worry about it. We’re NOT picking that idiot up. A’ight. Fine, then. If not Akash, who’s gonna pilot this thing? Endir... I would like you to pilot the ship. I think Endir would be best for the job, too. He always stays calm, no matter what. Yeah, I suppose... I’m a little jealous, but I can’t argue with that! Well, I was gonna be the one to launch Kir on the old catapult plan. Seems only nature I take this job too. I have to hear the details about this... prior plan of yours at some point. *frown* No you don’t... Yup! It’s been a long journey! Mm... Now we can finally get across. Let’s go... to the Last Lands... Mhm. But first... Everyone please buckle up. W-why? Does this thing even have seatbelts? ...What’s a seatbelt? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! And that concludes Chapter 11 of I Am Setsuna. We now have access to an airship marking the official beginning of the end game, as per RPG tradition. With it, we can return to any previous area we’ve explored with ease, as well as venture forth to several new areas. And of course, we can go to The Last Lands straight away to start the actual end game. Additionally, we now have the World Key which can be used to unlock all the Silver Chests scattered throughout the world as well as activate a few challenge dungeon areas. Now while there are some sidequests (which are yet to be unlocked) that would take us back to previous areas; MOST of the Silver Chests in the world are in previous combat heavy areas and dungeons which we’d have no other reason to ever return to... As such, I’m gonna have a stream of taking a return tour through the game grabbing all the newly unlocked loot. Cuz that’d be kinda boring to just do by myself and hell if I’m writing a trip report on unlocking a bunch of chests. The Dark Id fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Jan 29, 2017 |

Snow Chronicles 10: The Chronicles of Rhydderch Music: The Scent of the Sea That is another short chapter down. And with it comes yet another tiny lil’ Snow Chronicles update. We’ve seen almost 3/4ths of the locations in the game and met the vast majority of the characters. Yet we’ve only seen around 50% of the monsters and treasure chests. I’m pretty sure I know why those numbers are off... And I’m not looking forward to filling ‘em. But we’ll worry about that later... He is knowledge and wisdom of the ancient kingdom incarnate... who only bestowed his car keys and “yo watch out for the end boss” to the only remaining member of the royal bloodline. You could have stuck a signpost and some pre-recorded messages and saved this old fart a ton of trouble. The bee arms race going on with these bearmen is frankly terrifying. God help us if one of them taps into the arcane lost arts of the “wasp”. Some people in the thread were defending strawberry ice cream. These people are living a life of broken taste buds able to accept the vile artificial flavoring of that dire variety of ice cream. Repent your ways. Look, Takeshi was REALLY proud of the squirrel handstand animation and just wouldn’t back down from including all these iterations of it. Just let him have this... I liked the Snecter color palette more. This just looks like a Snecter got a can brown of paint dropped on it and it cannot be bothered to go take a bath. Rhydderch Hael (Welsh: Rhydderch the Generous, fl. 580 – c. 614) was a ruler of Alt Clut, a Brittonic kingdom in the Hen Ogledd or "Old North" of Britain. He was one of the most famous kings in the Hen Ogledd, and appears frequently in later medieval works in Welsh and Latin. Deermon... I still hate that name. It doesn’t even look like a deer besides the antlers and hoofs. Deer don’t have bushy old man eyebrows! That’s fuckin’ ridiculous! Absurd! Seriously, this thing took the wrong turn at the audition for Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, right? The hell is it doing in this game? This relic was recovered ruins of the ancient kingdom, carefully analyzed, and then shipped into a sealed ruin of the ancient kingdom and remained there until Endir blundered into it while exploring. Such is the life of fantasy swords. That said, I did like this dumbass Tron blade and the name Robo-God. It also emits in excess of 100 rads of radiation at all times. I’ll have to remember to use this sometime, since it does sound pretty metal. I know I’ll just be disappointed when it’s just a DBZ power-up aura and some colored numbers popping out of Julienne’s head. Uhh... can we have a citation on where those researchers learned that last bulletin point? Cuz we just met a guy from the ancient civilization and he was an old dude that spoke Idiot rural villagers send young women to go die in mysterious land under unknown circumstances. It’s probably fine. Probably... Personally, I would have taken the crappy early game airship that cannot pass mountains and the like. Old RPGs did that. It was fine. You get the one that can go anywhere in the end game and it was rad. Progression of powers is a good thing. And that’s a wrap for this bite-sized chapter. Next time we’ll be taking a trip Between Dreams and Reality. At least, that’s what the chapter title says! The Dark Id fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Jan 29, 2017 |
