  1. I actually haven't gotten 5 yet, heard it had the classic Paradox rough launch so I'm waiting for a year or two of polish. And I still have a few campaigns planned out in 4.

  2. I'm currently on an Aragon peasant republic > Spain > roman republic run, learning to balance multiple offset coalitions for the first time has been a cool challenge. Other than that, had a Teutonic horde run was really fun.

Been eyeing up an angivan run for a while now, that might push me into it!

    Thank you for putting this all together! Any idea if the PSP-1000 would work with the same setup? I've got one collecting dust that I would love to try this with.

    Software for System-Wide Right Click Gestures? (lemmy.ca)
     

    I've been searching for a software (for windows 10 for work/home, soon to be Linux mint for home) that can emulate the right click gestures extensions found on browsers.

    The browser extensions allow for a RMB click and drag in a specific direction to cause a specific action - such as closing a window with RMB+drag down then right, or minimizing the window with RMB+drag left then up, focusing the first tab with RMB+drag up then down, scrolling to the top of page with RMB+drag up etc.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for a software that would allow for this type of action to be used system wide? Specifically minimizing and closing windows, maybe tiling windows to half the screen. This type of functionality would be really handy to use system wide and not just in a browser but I have not had any luck in my search.

    Thanks in advance!

    What do other languages use for "magic" words; or names and titles in fantasy and sci-fi novels or cinema? (lemmy.ca)
     

    Apologies if this is not the correct community for this question, happy to post elsewhere if that is the case.

    In English, it feels common place for fantasy novels to use Latin inspired words for their spells or magic languages - unfortunately Harry Potter is the only one I can think of off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are more! Sci-fi can also fall into this 'trope' using Latin themed titles or names - such as "Augustus", "Primus", military titles, names etc.

    Is this common for other languages in Europe to pull from Latin for their fantasy/sci-fi books? Do novels in the eastern hemisphere pull from dead/uncommonly spoken/ritualistic languages for this purpose? Does one languages pull straight from other living languages?

    Is Sanskrit used in South-Eastern Asia? Are there extinct Chinese dialects that live on in the fantasy/sci-fi genres? Do novels written in an Arabic language use a dead sister language from the Arabic continuum? Do books in South American pull from the wealth of languages spoken before European colonization? Do languages with multiple alphabets (looking at you Japanese, but would love to learn about other languages with multiple alphabets) use only a specific alphabet for magic spells? Is Swahili used for magic words in Somalian media?

    I'm not looking for answers on these questions explicitly (not that they wouldn't be appreciated), just giving examples of the theme.

    A notable (English) exception I recently read - A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine - which uses names from the native language(s?) of the Americas, primarily Aztec if I'm remembering correctly.
