State of the Game

North coast is great, Ballymena which is inland... not so much but not what i was saying.
It's kinda trying to understand what they're saying.
There should be a good yt vid there with a farmer.
I'm from Belfast and i can't understand it.
It's the same down in Cork where I'm from. The neighbourhood I GREW UP IN, I can barely understand what some of the lads were saying. (Have a look for "Knocknaheeny Rap Off" and see some of the fine upstanding lads from down the road)
 
I guess it would be difficult to pronounce. You idiot.
it's a written word to circumvent written censors. Not a new word to say aloud. You dont pronounce the place-holder letter as the placeholder exists. You pronounce it the way it's intended and ignore the letter that's written. Like how you deal with (astersisk)'s in place of letters. Or do you go around pronouncing a* * as "ah asterisk asterisk" when reading aloud. Additionally, do you read aloud what you are reading?

Otherwise if you're concerned about saying the new nonsense word, why not just use o, it's closer to the sound of the real word much more than y is. or if you're in the business of making up new words, just use frack - it's already an established thing. Why care about keeping the structure of the rest of the word exactly the same but swapping the vowel for one that doesn't even sound the same?

y for u makes zero sense.

edit: asterisks are annoying forum special characters

I would ask if you are fun at parties but I can't imagine you get invited to any.
 
Scotland has 3 x dungeons all with specific weapon types:
Edinburgh : pickpockets / actors
Glasgow : knives / broken bottles
Everywhere else : pitchforks / shortbread.
When I was in Glasgow (again for work) everyone was very friendly, with one overly effusive taxi-driver eagerly warning me be to be careful with 'that accent'. Never had a jot of trouble. I also quite liked what little I saw and experienced of Aberdeen.

well, if your idea is a party with the likes of old people who make up baby words instead of real profanity. Then no, I dont get invited to those. Or parties where everyone is just eating dinner together. no.
 
I suffered the misfortune of visiting Edinburgh years ago and found myself on a tour of haunted places.

30 quid to be told by an American student who can't pronounce the city she lived in all the haunted places around the city.

Didn't even see one ghost.
It sounds much like Windsor.

An American stopped me in Windsor to ask directions - she said something along the lines of "I know you were local as you had British teeth".
 
Getting really close to 50,000 posts I see......

Hey, careful now Ian, we'll be angrier than the fsd crowd...!

In Gaelic, Scotland means "battered"

That makes sense.

My god man, you are a monstrous gobshyte.
 
My god man, you are a monstrous gobshyte.

aren't the i and the y too close sounding for that substitution?

I'd think it would be more along the lines of gobshote or a u?

your swapping rules aren't consistent. Do we need to create another consistency debacle thread bomb to determine how best to circumvent weird slang word filters?
 
just noticed, that according to this week's top 20 hits the fps drops and stability issues around settlements is oddly less important to players than getting that juicy telemetry api stream for motion simulators and 100% not for bots.

Not sure if that means the players who partake in that have dropped off a cliff with most of the other players that left or if it's a far less common issue than it would have seemed given the forum posts about it.

Sounds a lot like belfast as well, where i grew up, NSEW all have unique accents, but mostly up here you have to go out in the sticks to experience the more extreme accents.
I think the english here would struggle with some belfast accents, probably because we speak so fast.
I can't do related gifs or links because phone is potato but i've been down south a lot through music and i know what you're saying.
If we do anything well, it's accents.
The Ballymena one is known to be probably the most extreme and non-sensical up here, why i asked the google... but i can't link it.

Sim telemetry is very important for the three people who play elite in a full-size cockpit while wearing a flight suit made from sticky back plastic and old washing up bottles.
 
50,000? and we're how many posts away?

I think it might be tree fiddy?

the 200 other votes are just really good friends who care about those 3 guys a lot. I'm sure. It's definitely not something someone would use for nefarious purposes.
