Everything about this damn post is so funny to me. The lighting of the arm from the flash. The posing of the arm like a dramatic death from a novella. The fact the photo somehow got taken still and looks this good. The subreddit name. The fact this guy really is built like crash bandicoot

does anyone have more obscenely rose tinted glasses than early overwatch players... if anyone says role queue was a mistake you should know to immediately distrust that person as a deceiver

[scribe-awoken]

meanwhile I wish I had the chance to play in the era when not only was there no role queue, but you weren't even limited to one of a given character per team. I think comps like all Soldier 76 or the one fucked up Hanamura offense team comp of Lucio, Winston or Reinhardt, D.Va, D.Va, D.Va, and D.Va are funny as hell and I wonder what sort of fucked-up kusoge (affectionate) OW would've been if Blizzard had embraced that instead of saying "okay you can't run more than one of the same character on your team"

though I also think team-based competitive games should only let you play ranked if you have a full stack so... my opinions on team-based competitive games are certainly unorthodox.

I once played a game with 6 Mercys and we were unstoppable. This was before they pointlessly nerfed her silly little sidearm too. 2 Mercys plinking the other team with a tiny pistol supported by 4 Mercys keeping everyone damn near immortal.

Fun times.

great question and I'm glad you asked. in this case I would only draw:

real people, places, or objects

I've been learning Welsh for almost 6 years now, and your blog, which I only found recently, has essentially been my only window into slang vs how Welsh is taught, because I live in rural Canada and do not know any local speakers (I had a similar experience with how we are taught French here [proper, France-French] vs how my neighbours across the river actually speak [Québécois sounds almost nothing like school French, and is peppered with a lot of English swears and frenglish mutations of English words, especially where slang is concerned]). I *really* appreciate your explanations for why you choose specific words in your shitpost translations.

So I've gotta ask: there have been many times that I have wanted to reblog with just "mood" as a tag. Today's "naan before beer" for example. It made me wonder if there's a specific word in Welsh you'd use that has the same feel/casual sentiment that "mood" or "big mood" have in English. I hadn't actually learned the word for mood until I had this thought today. Prefacing with the fact that I totally understand that google translate isn't the most reliable, it seems like my options are:

hwyliau (moods, plural?) vs cyflwr meddwl ('state of mind' and also what happens if I type in "Mood." as a single word sentence)

Assuming that's correct, neither of them feels as punchy or casual as "mood" intends. The temptation to just tag with "mwd" was also very high, so I ran a quick search and apparently that's just mud (another new word I have just learned?), which is uhhh...also not really in the spirit of what I'm looking for.

So, all of this a very roundabout way of asking if there's already a 1:1 equivelant, and if there isn't, how would you, personally, choose to translate the sentiment? I am probably waaay overthinking this, sorry for the essay! D:

No apologies necessary, and thank you for the very fun question!

So we have two 'proper' options when it comes to a direct translation:

Hwyl

Tymer

They both pretty much mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably to mean 'mood' or 'temper', but the issue with hwyl is that it also has several other meanings, including 'fun' and 'sail', as well as being part of a very common way of bidding someone farewell (hwyl fawr). So, if you were to reblog something from me and add 'hwyl fawr' in an attempt to say 'big mood', I'd just assume you're saying bye to me lol

Tymer doesn't really work either; it's got the same issue as its English counterpart in the fact that it's pretty much used in negative contexts. Mae ganddi dymer! She has a temper! It just doesn't exude the same neutrality as 'mood'; if you were to say tymer fawr, I'd just assume you're trying to say '[they have a] big temper'.

So that's the proper options out, which leads me the most popular way of adapting English slang into Welsh: spelling it out phonetically!

You're totally correct that translating 'mood' into mwd wouldn't work, because mwd already means 'mud', which ain't the vibe we're after.

However, mwd isn't actually the most accurate way of phonetically spelling 'mood' in Welsh! The 'w' in mwd is pronounced with a short sound, similar to the vowel sound in 'hook' - we need a long vowel sound here to replicate the long 'oo' in 'mood'!

So what do I recommend here? Why, I recommend my favourite tactic of all: slapping a to bach (circumflex) on that motherfucker.

MŴD MAWR!

ok but this unironically works. talk about how the working class is exploited and you can basically sell full-on marxism to your average republican if you do it right. all you have to do is avoid the words "Marx," "capitalism," "socialism," "communism," "means of production," etc - just use synonyms. say "big business" or "corporate shareholder interests" instead of "capitalists." say "a government that prioritizes the needs of the working people" instead of "socialism." it WORKS. I've DONE it. the hardest sell are usually things like social and racial equity, welfare, things like that, because people have been primed with the racist/classist idea that those things are somehow unfair - but you can get your foot in the door to getting them to buy into those too if you start with class issues. read up on your theory, make sure you REALLY understand your own ideology, because that will enable you to reword it and successfully sell it.

[a-ginger-in-black]

In my experience, you can often help sell 'welfare' stuff by appealing to self-interest with a touch of Aren't We Great.

Disability benefits: "I mean, sure, there are probably some sad sacks who are gaming the system, there always are, but hell, with the amount of taxes we pay, the government can afford a few freeloaders, right? I'd rather pay for a couple people who don't really need it than not have the system at all for if I need it, or my kids do, or whatever. I mean shit happens. What if some asshole drunk driver puts me in the hospital and it takes me a year to get back on my feet? Or Heaven forbid something permanent happens. I'll sure be glad that I can get disability then, won't I?"

UBI: "I dunno, the kind of guy who'll just sit on the couch playing Call of Duty all day if he doesn't have to work, I kinda don't want him on my job site anyway. That type is just taking up a place that you could fill with someone who'll actually get the job done, you know? You end up short-handed even though you technically have enough people because everyone else has to pick up his slack. And it'd mean that if your boss is a dick you can tell him to shove it and not worry your kids are gonna go hungry while you find a better place. We can sure as hell afford it."

Racial equity: "I've got a lot more in common with a Black guy who's just trying to get the job done than I do with some rich white asshole who thinks the sun shines out of his ass because of how much money mommy and daddy have."
