fun fact of the day for no particular reason: the first message ever sent over the internet (or at least its precursor, arpanet) was 'LO' - the operator was attempting to send 'LOGIN', but the system crashed after the second letter was sent, leaving their colloquy unfinished

also this is less of a video game thing and more of a fantasy writing thing but like. i just have to say. if you want your fantasy characters to talk like normal people you can do that. you don't have to make up corny swears for your fantasy to be immersive. you can just say "fuck you" instead of "shadows take you" and you can just say "goddamn" instead of "matron's teats." if you want. just if you want

[reblog tag: "#i write godsdamnit and feel so goofy but it's foolish for the main religion to have only one god"]
the thing is though. you can still say "goddamn" (or "godspeed," "godforsaken" etc.) if there's more than one god. "god" in this context does not necessitate a singular entity; it only does to us because we inhabit the same world as christianity. if by your own admission you /feel/ goofy doing it you don't have to do it. be free](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tzhprkkepcsu4zwgk2l33ank/bafkreib6nsar6folrr437oaywqaw5jfpzdkf7uheeq7tbnqoy6hbrgnaki)
![Two paragraphs of text from Wikipedia which read “Bluetooth is the Anglicised version of the Scandinavian Blåtand/Blåtann (or in Old Norse blátǫnn). It was the epithet of King Harald Bluetooth, who united the disparate Danish tribes into a single kingdom; Kardach chose the name to imply that Bluetooth similarly unites communication protocols.[13]
The Bluetooth logo is a bind rune merging the Younger Futhark runes (ᚼ, Hagall) and (ᛒ, Bjarkan), Harald's initials.[14][15]”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5xrge4sbb3y3u3eezhymeftk/bafkreihfiko2ywgszrgjg2kk6zubt4b4fbfppfozzdtj56futesapfvjqq)
![Four frames comic about two types of Isekai I found and read lately. The first frame shows a young man with a sword. He says: "My name is Josh Itcantbehelped and I used to be a loser before a car crash brought me to a world where I am a god and half the population is made of SLAVE CATGIRLS". The second frame shows him crying and clenching his fist, with many a cat behind him, wearing bikinis. He says "To make it here I guess I have no choice but to own as many catgirls as I can...how tragic...". The third frame shows another character from another type of Isekai. She's a woman with a fluffy dress. She says "My name is Elise Robespierre and after being hit by a truck of terminal cancer I am now in my favorite 900 pages novel. With many a hot man.". The fourth frame shows her giving a board presentation to citizens, with graphs and pictures of plants on it. She says: "Hello citizens. This is my plan to modernize the agricultural system and prevent any further plague by creating medicine [...] taxes which ..." the text becomes unreadable as she keeps talking to her captive audience.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:h7mwv6f6sh6clwvc4ah46lp6/bafkreifkd3fek4oeyjtbo7ewtkahjxcpqw3mnbzcotaqlnyw22jsxsd5fe)
