Do Russians typically swear a lot, or are they too depressed by life to even do that? They don't even show emotion on those dashboard cam videos where crazy poo poo happens right in front of their eyes.

That depends on the person and their individual level of culture and education. Mine is high, so in the years after high school I got used to not swearing unless warranted

CommissarMega posted:

I heard somewhere (hell, it might even have been this thread) that on the whole, Russians don't really swear or even show much open emotion because word choice can often get something across more forcefully than shouting 'gently caress!!1!' with wide open eyes or the like.

The last part is true for any language :v:

When I took Russian back in college, the only curse word I was ever taught was their word for "pancake." I still have no idea why it's considered a curse word.

Some will try to convince you that "блять" and "блядь" are different words used in different contexts, but it's not, don't believe them. The former (the one with a "t" in the end) is a misspelling and nothing more

The phonetic transcription (insofar as it's even possible to write something phonetically in English, English words are basically less scary Kanji/Hanzi) is "suka", and it's a direct equivalent of the word "bitch" :eng101:

The word is "blin", and it's origin is people wanting to say "blyad", then trying to hold back after saying "bl"
Its nature as a curseword has nothing to do with its actual meaning, and it's such a mild profanity that it's barely considered one at all, it's like saying "drat" in English

And, most importantly, Russian pancakes are actually big and thin, like crepes
For tiny thick pancakes we use either the word "оладьи" (olad'yi), or an anglicism, "панкейки" (pankeiki), for American-style pancakes
The main difference is that the former are traditionally prepared with kefir as the base for the batter instead of milk, but the distinction is vanishing

That sounds just like people saying "fudge" instead of "gently caress". What's the Russian equivalent of "gosh darn it to heck"?

What were all the Easter Eggs in that room, btw? I'm not well versed in Doom mythos.

Also, it's interesting how many representations of hell exist that are based from Dante's Inferno, yet almost all of them have fire and brimstone aesthetics while in the poem, the deepest realms of hell were ice and snow.

Also had the city of Dis, a horrible realm where one gets mocked by terrible rappers for all eternity.

I probably missed some of the Easter Eggs, but the major one that I noticed was that the cube with the glowy yellow bits that Alexey briefly looked at, was the Soul Cube from Doom 3, where it was the ultimate weapon needed to win the game, and also generally a useful artifact.

My parents converted to Orthodoxy in college or something. They went full Russian, but I grew up going to a Greek church because there were more kids my age there. Back then Orthodoxy was this big counter-culture thing because it was anti-USSR, and all of my parents' friends were old Tsarists with three-color flags hidden away for when the day came.

Then the day came and it sounds like the church sold out hardcore. It's still really jarring to me that they so quickly bedded with the totalitarian regime that would include them, but I won't pretend to ever be surprised by that kind of thing.

I know! I was jumping all the time in my off-camera run, but here, for some reason, I don't. I have the entire campaign recorded and there's no jumping in the Classic maps because reasons, but I'll endeavor to spend more time in the air in the DLCs (which I haven't even bought yet, let alone recorded)

I'll have you know I worked my fingers to the bone to get where I am today.
You said that there wasn't much interesting here. I kind of disagree: It's an interesting note that, despite Hayden being her biggest backer and giving her the opportunity to work in absolute freedom with god knows how many resources, she refused to work for him. Only once he sends her some cursed relic of hell that drives her obsession does she do as he asks.

Yet another thing about this that is Hayden's fault.

Also, that hologram of the sacrifice: Nice detail that the sacrifice is shown clearly trying to breathe after the first two stabs. Poor dude, they didn't even finish him properly.

I got a spam offer to join a network
Now, almost everyone in the subforum gets them, it's nothing unusual
Here, the funny things are: 1) it's a Russian network (I like the line about "Russian-language support", as if I loving need any), and 2) they think that I am "Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver - Topic"
I'm not sure whether to be flattered or offended :shepicide:
