Caelum Link ParentI was not aware of the munchkin history, thank you! And the wiki page was one of the ones I was looking at before, so I will keep using that for now.I was not aware of the munchkin history, thank you!

They listed “raisinlike” for example and words ending in “like” is another one I had forgotten about. While that word is no longer in use, words such as catlike still exist. For me it may just be continuing to hunt down and see if there is a large list.

Pokemon for example is a nice compound word of two ideas.
I would generally like to create a word that sounds real. Kin for example means family or group, a real word in munchkin, the concept of kin has been used to create new words like the now popular shopkins for example.
A more recent one I saw was on the show foundation where they created a group called “Luminists” by taking the word lumen and adding the “ist” at the end. I’m trying to see if there is a common list of suffixes that can aide in creating general creative lore.

Kept beta as invite still, open communities in a more calculated approach first with people that had been active 6 months, then 3 months, then 1 month, 1 week, etc. That would also have reduced the number of squatters. Then once the immediate kinks had been worked out, open beta more publicly.

Tetra finally gave Zelda something other than being a voiceless kidnapped Zelda. You could argue Sheik gave Zelda some character, but she was mostly just speaking in riddles in Ocarina of Time. I think this was the turning point where both story and characters were beginning to matter to the series.
The final thing to add is that this art style was how the creator originally imagined the first Legend of Zelda to look like, and this was the first time the technology could achieve it. It’s the Zelda game that hasn’t really aged visually.

Caelum LinkAs an SE user I was disappointed with the “budget” switch. I am in the niche of small phone users. I may just get a refurbished SE at some point, especially if the 16e doesn’t even have mag safe.As an SE user I was disappointed with the “budget” switch. I am in the niche of small phone users.

I would read into the concept of lemmy a bit, as many ideologies from all over the world gather there, which may sometimes cause clashing.
