Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy #XIV Online, now with an expanded free trial which you can play through A Realm Reborn and the award-winning Heavnsward and Stormblood expansions up to level 70 for free with no restrictions on play time.

Hahahaah.... SHUT UP!

And so here we are again...

Open World PVE, hands down.

Techbros: "Don't worry dear humanity; we'll take away the toil of creating art so that you can focus your efforts on building our Ziggurats, and consume entertainment content *cough* art, generated on the fly as entertainment during your breaks between shifts in your cabins to pay of perpetual debt"

Listen closely as Carl Sagan explains how regular people can create change!

Well I'll gladly toast to that!

And the crickets seem to be way into choir music! Jokes in the side, we'll see what the future brings

I am waiting for the collected poetry of wales, myself. It's bound to be profound, or, dare I say, deep 🤣

One day, I suppose that might be possible. But it would be a monumental affair, changing our perspective forever. I just hope we don't end up in the "planet of the apes" scenario.

I couldn't agree more. And language history is a fascinating field. Seeing a world evolve and change through history, and how that affects people's ability to use it, and their own influence on it, its only one of the many reasons I love philology.

He knows who’s on the Epstein list

With Turkish I am very familiar. My people were under Ottoman rule for 450 years, so quite a lot of their words seeped inevitably into Serbian vocabulary. Attraction to learning languages is a great driving force to have!

Hey, that fact alone is cool! You had access to 4 alternate systems of expression and understanding. That's a huge deal, fluent or not

Oh yes. Two different language codes give me two often vastly different perspectives and multiple ways to approach and analyze. I cannot recommend learning languages enough. Learning a third code would further enhance my perception, understanding and my art as well

As for the book: thank you! It was a major success personally, despite the fact that I did not dedicate too much of my time into promoting, so I barely sold anything. But, it still holds. A special place in my heart. I hope this won't be the only collection I made

I could try French eventually, I agree. I applaud you for Cyrillic. Usually, it looks confusing, but it's rather fun actually. I would, however, focus on practicing my Spanish and Japanese, probably.

Yes. I don't have much time for myself, and translation may take some time to be done just right. I have a published book in Serbian, a poetry collection called The Last Walk of V. Wolf, but I think I may have enough material for a book in English too. Kudos for French, I could never

I write in both my native tongue and in English. I'm an English major (second language Spanish, but it's very rusty), so it's equally easy for me to express myself in both Serbian and English. There are some natural challenges, of course, but I live translating.

Thank you! I wrote more about the whole situation. I do need to translate them, though, for a wider audience

So far, this is the only one I posted here. I have to polish this translation a bit

Standing ovation.

Oh thank you! It's not that big of a deal, really. I had pretty good college professors, my wife is a great poet too, and I like to read a lot is all. But yes, music is the part of it all, I agree

Best of luck! I think you will enjoy the exercise. Both forms naturally go together, only the tanka is denser, while the sonnet asks for more rhythm

Give it a go when you have the time. Think of like sonnet, with the final cuplet either driving the point down, or turning tables entirely

Exactly! I always love seeing one art form influencing the other in such ways.

Thank you for tagging me, I enjoyed reading it 👍

This is very strong, and very sharply said, with powerful, clear images. Writing haikus pays off!
