Re: Flutter - Level Seventeen: Tag-Out [2/7/16]

The sunlight beamed into Hisao’s room through his open curtains and onto his bed, where he lay splayed out, one arm over his face. Inexplicably past tense. If you think I’m just going to let you solo this boss walk in the direction Iwanako and Hisao just came from Iwanako and Shin? And really? Hisa...

Re: Flutter - Level Sixteen: Rushdown [25/6/16]

“One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four Missi-” I kinda get what she's doing, but that particular figure of speech seems quite out of place in Japan... I genuinely googled to see if there was some Japanese equivalent phrase but had no luck unfortunately... :( Thanks for reading a...

“I was even th-thinking about…”

Re: A Summer of Tales (An H&K Summer Series)

Yup, that's a prequel to this story.

But there are lots of prequels to THAT story as well...

Re: A Summer of Tales (An H&K Summer Series)

Just FYI - this is not a completely new continuum... to put it mildly.

If you want to keep an eye on it, I recommend starting with some earlier stories. The library is a good place to look for them...

Great chapter!
Two or three typos but nothing worth mentioning. Your writing has come a long way since you began this story!

Re: Adaptive technology

The important question is whether you can take arbitrary correct ASL sentences and have them be translated into English. And right now there is no evidence of that. No that's not the important question, because that's not what that tool was designed to do. You can't hit a screw with a screwdriver a...

Re: Words from the Chair: Rin Discussion

Here's the promised list of short Rin readings of interest. Tripping by Mirage_GSM (ongoing, last update 2013, author still very active) (I want to reserve this for its own slot, actually, because it is unique and not all about Rin :) ) ... Well, then let's keep it to the prologue for this discussi...

Re: Adaptive technology

Say, did you even watch the video? "Hello, my name is Thomas and this is Navid. We are inventors in the Lemelson-MIT Student Prize competition." is a completely valid and grammatically correct English sentence. (Actually it's two grammatically correct sentences.) What you call the "Do-Not-Want-Effec...

Re: Adaptive technology

Mr. Hawking is a mute person - as in "not able to speak" - who is using an electronic device to translate muscle movements into spoken language. Basically it's the same as this glove - only Mr Hawking can use much fewer muscles than the average mute person. It enables him to hold lectures on theoret...

Re: Adaptive technology

Normally translation is considered to mean accurately conveying the meaning of what is being translated, not just doing word-for-word translation. No. That's normally considered to be a good translation. If I just want to be able to communicate with someone at all I'll just bear with it. Technicall...

Re: The Tragic Tale of Iwanako

While it might look like I put no thought into anything here and that I included every idea I had, neither is true. I actually did quite a bit of editing on this (although this is the only time I've ever edited a story and ADDED mistakes.) I don't think there was really any danger of that - at leas...
