I never really liked frell as a replacement for fuck honestly, the sound is a little too round to put energy behind it. Was best when it was used in a sort of defeated, resigned reaction to things getting worse. Because of course it's getting worse.

The swears from Expanse's lang belta are my favourite, ya lik pashang! Easily the most creative of sci-fi swear replacements, the intent still carries through clearly to the viewer and they have good range. Though it wasn't used to escape censors.

Frak from BSG gets points for still being able to convey the same range as fuck, but loses them all for being the least creative.

but they are not in the nya site.

I see both on nyaa.si

Edit -

Spare me Great Lord S2 (check comments for a link to English subs): https://nyaa.si/view/1787787

I know nothing about either series so it's possible I'm looking at the wrong thing

Sorry, this was kind of a case of me having a thought for too long and just blindly dumping it the first time I saw something even semi-related.

But yeah, the quest sucks from both a moral and design stand point. Though truthfully I think this of a lot of Morrowind's quests, so many just seem rushed or like they were meant to be expanded but never were.

yeah because everyone uses Discord as a replacement for web sites even though it's a terrible format for storing and searching information

Fuck whoever wrote this quest and fuck Bethesda for not scrapping it. Death to Gamers, death to the idea of “role-playing” this shit, and death to all the white Maryland programmer suburbanites that created it.

Maybe a terrible take, but I prefer this to whatever Bethesda writes these days. Disgust is still at least emotional reaction, rather than pure corporate blandness designed only to entrap the player in the machine zone.

The worst is the next rung up from "small business owner". The guy who might own a few small business and/or some investment properties. Still an ant in the eye of the Amazons of the world, but has vastly more power to victimize a larger number of people.

These are always the most fucking disgusting, pathetic, annoying and cruel people I have met. They brag about all the awful shit they do to people and they get away with it. Rapists, thieves and wife beaters the lot of them, but actually having the money to shield them from any blowback in the way the petty tyrant who just owns like a restaurant or something does not.

I have used a check. I'm more likely to be able to get a mortgage and buy a house than to be accepted for a rental again, though I'll likely die before paying it off. I still keep a fair amount of actual cash at home "just in case".

Will be interested to hear your guesses.

Imagine a time before instant communications, where you have no idea how life has treated the recipient since you last saw them and it might take months for your letter to arrive. It is a sincere hope that they are well and that tradgedy has not befallen them.

It would be neurotic and unreasonable if your last update on their life was only days or even hours before, but in the days of letters hope is really all you had. It's just honest.

To be fair, I'm certain that someone has written it with that as the intended meaning. It seems like the kind of passive aggressive thing some mannered British aristocrat would do.

Yeah, one of the most soulless and boring games I've played. The Expanse seemed like such a good property to adapt into a Telltale game too.

If you're looking for a good sci-fi Telltale style game, Star Trek: Resurgence came out around the same time from a studio of former Telltate employees and it is an absolute joy for anyone who misses 90's Trek.

I really enjoyed The Wolf Among Us, but given how terrible their Expanse game was I'm not holding my breath.

It has it's roots in actual letter writing, as in "I hope this letter finds you well".
