was that difficult to carry concurrently? and was your level of proficiency (or even just how comfortable you are with the languages) affected by taking two at the same time?
sorry if i'm causing exasperation with the questions, but i just find this really cool.

No, not at all. With Latin as a foundation, learning any Romanic language shouldn't be too difficult, and it only gets easier with each one. I actually forgot that I'm gonna do two new languages in the upcoming semestre, Old Greek and Italian. The latter will be super easy, though, for reasons I mentioned.

To be fair, I should mention I was raised in a bilingual household (German and Greek). That definitely helps, as you might figure.

Enough about me, though. Happy to take it to PMs if you want, Naota.

But that line is about a gift full of Greeks. It bears them into the city. Laocoon the best.

Yeah, it's a famous quote. Timeo danaos et dona ferentes. It's not about a gift full of Greeks, but about Greeks bringing gifts (the wooden horse, that is), at least in the literal sense. Obviously the gift happened to be full of Greeks, lol.

how long did it take for you to learn fluent latin?

 

[Brakke]

Heh I was "fluent" in five years. But four of them were in high school and I fucked around a lot so you could easily do it in two if you cared about learning it more than desperately trying to bone your best friend. Latin is formal and easy.

I remember enough to read gravestones and inscriptions in European cathedrals. Learning Latin made me a better writer though. Made understanding parts of speech and verb tenses / diagraming sentences a little bit easier.

Is viewing leaked pics of celebs as bad as viewing leaked pics of games in development?

The leaked celebs pics are hurtful to the person's feeling, and are a gross violation of privacy. They can also hurt careers and prevent people from getting more jobs. Those threads get locked right away.

But what about viewing leaked footage or pics from games in development? They might show problems, they might show unfinished game play elements that might spoil the experience. Much like leaked celebs pics, leaked game footage is often made using cellphones, under bad conditions, and can have a very bad effect on the marketing of a title, and hurt sales and PR deals. There's multi millions of dollars involved in those titles and sometimes, a bad first reveal can ruin everything. The offending material gets removed upon request

WHO HERE WILL DARE TO MAKE THIS THREAD?

Are you ready to pit the OT and the Gaming Section into a bloody battle to the death over this?

WHO WILL DARE?
