Hey Turin, I’ve always been curious about the Der Schulde thing. You’re A Spaniard, right, or do you just live in Spain? As a non-native German speaker, the nearest I can make out, that appositive would mean “the guilty one” because saying “Er ist schuld” means “he’s to blame/guilty.”
So what’s up with that?

1964

I might have the qt3-memes mixed, but I think it was related to some typo in the name of a Demigod thread.

1965

Check out the OP in this thread:

1966

That’s the one.

1967

That title, along with the Diablo 3 one, can never change. I’d probably leave the forums if they were modified/corrected.

1968

Man you have good memory, I had forgotten in what specific thread was.

I will say this: I have never mistyped that word again.

but I mistyped many others!

1969

Thanks guys, for the explanation. So the “Der” part was because someone figured out it was a German word? (the noun meaning “fault” by the way is Schuld and is of feminine gender, thus “die Schuld”)

1970

That’s because given how I had written the word, it almost sounded German, and at that point people knew that I wasn’t American/British but they didn’t know I’m a Spaniard. So basically Tom supposed I was German. I think.Or maybe he knew I wasn’t German but it was funny that way, which is more important!

1971

Weren’t you using your real name then as well?

1972

That’s correct, except for the typo. Every noun has a gender. “der / die / das” is “the” in male / female / neutral form.
“The guilty one” would be “der / die Schuldige” (male / female **). “die Schuld” has a blame / guilty context, “die Schulden” means “(financial) debt”. Declinations of both terms overlap or are very similar, so the context decides.

** This is a special case. You’re blaming a specific person and the gender follows.

1973

I have never used my real name. Though I had another alias, Naeblis (reference to Wheel of Time) instead of Turin Turambar (reference to Silmarillion)

edit: and now that we are closely examining myself, I will reveal the origin of the avatar: it’s supposed to be an Asha’man, from WoT, the art was from the WoT RPG book, which I never played, but I liked that drawing. All pretty nerdy, I admit.

1974

Aha. I just seemed to remember you using a different name back then.

Turin Turambar (reference to Silmarillion)[/quote]
I always thought it was a reference to the city in Italy.

I’ve got 3 items looking for a good home:

  1. Contraption Maker
  2. Gone! - Frozen Synapse Prime
  3. Torchlight

They will need to be gifted via steam, since they’re sitting in my ‘inventory’. I think that means you’ll have to friend my steam account (tciecka).

1977

I’ve got the following keys available if anyone didn’t get the Indie Legends 4 Bundle

Skullgirls - Gone
Sir, You Are Being Hunted. - Gone

All Gone.

1978

I’m pretty sure these are all Steam keys. If you want one PM me.

Asteroid Bounty Hunter gone
Postal 2 Complete gone
Cosmic Rocket Defender

I’ve got a couple of gift links to give away–I’m pretty sure they’re both Steam–for some older games that were in a Humble Bundle, in case there’s still someone in the universe that doesn’t have them, yet still has a computer to browse the web with:

Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY edition (no GWFL to deal with)<–taken (I don’t know how to do the clever “strike” thing.
FEAR 2: Project Origin

Please PM and be a non-drive-by Qt3 community member. I posted about these on ArsTechnica a couple of days ago but no one seems interested, so…

1981

It looks like I have some humble bundle odds & ends to give away also. PM if interested.
