BANGER fucking line 💥💥💥💥

You sent me down one hell of a rabbit hole 😭 At first I was confused by the tone marker, but it turns out Swedish is a pitch accent language. So that clears things up xd

But before I even got to that, the section on vowels caught my eye. Apparently, /oː/ can be realized as [ɤʷː], [oə] (Central Standard), or [ɔə] (Gotland?). So apparently [blɤ̂ʷːhaj], [bloəhaj], and [blɔəhaj] are all valid realizations of /blôːhaj/ (varying in dialect)? Thankfully BLÅHAJ has no rhotics or i wouldve started getting into the literature

pretty pretty please 🥺🤲

This was a little refreshing to read. I think I can now proceed on with less cautious pessimism :) /s

Though seriously, thanks for getting the information out there, it doesn't hurt to curry a little bit of solace

Thanks for bringing this up! I was skeptical anything remotely complex would look good in the 20x20 when I first saw the original response

I want to scream at me in college to not choose tech as backup because what the fuck is going on right now I just want my first big boy job bro

I'm not very knowledgeable in existing works, but Stray is an incredible game that explores this idea I think. I haven't finished it but what I've played so far is fantastic and immersive in that sort of world

I can think of two possibilities for the next panel :)

I love coming back to random responses because I still take a good 10 seconds squinting at the image trying to remember what it says

Might be off-topic since it seems that many here prefer Japanese LNs, but I'm currently reading:

• Leveling with the Gods - power-scaling regression story, I thought that the pacing was incredibly fast but it still kept everything coherent. The main story has finished, but the side story is still going on, which I would argue is nearly as interesting as the main story. The side characters enrich the story so much despite the entire novel taking a more serious tone, there's still really great moments of "this is what I've been fighting for." My friend has described it as "Solo Max Level Newbie but more serious" (also a good read btw)

• Level Up with Skills - main story still not finished, this is basically the opposite of The World After The Fall in that the MC ABUSES the system and is getting overpowered by being scrupulous essentially. There's not many very good points, but it also doesnt really do anything wrong IMO. Very fast paced and a really enjoyable read. Very serious tone with less humor than Leveling with the Gods but with a lot of interesting powers (suffers a tiny bit from "chosen one" trope and it feels like a lot really does fall into MC's hands, but I've read enough power-scaling that I don't mind it)
