Moving to Mars next week!
Hey guys. I got a big announcement to make. That's right, I'm gonna move to Mars next week! To be more specific, I'll be moving to the Karzok colony inside the crater of the same name. It's on Olympus Mons, nice place to go on a hike! Way better than Earth's Everest imho (and way bigger, too). The Shergottites mine is an interesting location to visit, too, though I'm not much interested in meteorite mining. The new abode is pretty nice from what they have showed me, and they already 3d-printed all of my furniture, so now I just have to physically move myself over! The space warp travel is a big improvement over the light speed one. It used to take months to get to Mars, and you have to wait for the planet to be closer to Earth too, which is bleh! I can't even stand four hours on car, much less four months! It'll be a great if one day they can figure out how to teleport humans to Mars instantly like they could do with inorganic object, then we won't even need to travel! But testing
NieR: Olympic
It was surreal to hear NieR music playing at the Olympic. I did a double takes when Song of the Ancients came out of the TV. NieR is pretty niche compare to big series like Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts, after all. It's only recently that it got more popular thanks to the success of Automata. (It's also funny in retrospect because the first NieR features a deadly disease that decimates humanity, lmao.) Anyway, I don't care about sport but it's cool to hear chaos language at the Olympic. To clarify: "chaos language" is not a functional language, but a fan nickname for something singer Emi Evans and composer Keiichi Okabe made up for NieR (and Drakengard 3) sound track. It's supposed to sound like how modern languages might drift and envolve thousands of year in the future. Song of the Ancients is one of the first tracks that was composed for NieR and has phonetic features of several unrelated languages, while the later songs usually have one specific language they're based on each
Rambling about world-building: Idiom and folklore
Warning: This is a rambling journal in which I ramble off-topic for a few paragraphs, try to go back to the main subject, and then might still not makes sense anyway. The other day I was thinking about world-building and idiom + folklore. Our world has phrases and expressions we use everyday that originated from our mythology. Like "fly too close to the sun" is a reference to Icarus. The word "narcissism" came from Narcissus - who falls for his own reflection, drown and turn into a flower. The name itself might have the same root word as "narcotic" (there are several words in Latin, Old French and Greek with a "narc/nark" beginning that has an association with numbness. That probably means something). Even something inconspicuous like the names of the days in the week or months in the year has mythological and/or historical origin. Why did October has the "octo" element - meaning eight, like "octopus" - in it even though it's the 10th month of the year? Because October is the eight
