That's dwarven ain't it?

[Burnt Pies]

Hmm, it appears my efforts to learn Box simply haven't paid off.

[Darvi]

So how do I get Cortex Command to work again?

It's that problem that I got last time I installed mods.

[Tellemurius]

sounds like a reinstall for me, fixed that stupid error.

So growing up with celtic languages will make you think they're ugly? I grew up with Danish and find it beautiful. English on the other hand, meh. I only appreciate it's use for communication, it has no artistic value for me, whatsoever.

I think all languages have their beauty. In communication, sure, they're all pretty functional and unaesthetic. It's only with poetic language they begin to shine because it's specifically constructed to be beautiful.

"All about her the dead lay with their peeled skulls like polyps bluely wet or luminescent melons cooling on some mesa of the moon. In the days to come the frail black rebuses of blood in those sands would crack and break and drift away so that in the circuit of a few suns all trace of the destruction of these people would be erased."

[Angel Of Death]

I can't sleep...

It's 5:30 in the morning...

FUCK!

[lordnincompoop]

I don't think it's so much the language itself than what you do with the language.

Meh. I don't see the beauty in this, myself.

then its a mod, check to see if your folder structure is correct.

[fqllve]

Really? I could probably write an essay on why that's beautiful. The juxtaposition of the brutality of murder with the ethereal image of the moon. The measure of the clauses and their cadence. The subtle yet poignant alliteration. The comparison of the drying blood of the slain with cryptic messages in the sand.

It's all subjective though, I suppose.

WANNA GET HURT? No but seriously, Tolkien made version based on the Futhorc, that is Anglo-Saxon runes, which in turn developed from the Norse Elder Futhark, what I posted is a prose from the Elder Edda in Elder Futhark.

My point was that I only speak english because it lets me communicate with hundreds of lovely people, like on this forum. It does not please me on any level, neither does your poem although it is well written, the language does not portray to me anything but crudeness.

Depending on time and futhark ᛦ may be considered an R or Z but here it is an Y.

So I figured out that's Runic, but apparently I need Unicode 3.0 support to see them.  I can't find any way to get that support for Windows XP.  I probably just fail at Google. 

Runic is a weird term, the real word to describe it would be Futhark, the first æt of the runes.(The first five letters.)

Ouch... harsh.

[fqllve]

Ouch... harsh.

Indeed.

Could you expand on this? Are you saying that English is crude or that the image it portrays is one of crudeness? Because the latter is exactly true. It's a commentary on the crudeness and cruelness of man.

If it's the former...well, I need to stop taking insults to English so personally. ;_;

It is indeed the former, and you shouldn't really consider it much I am but one person and the only person I know with these feelings is me, it might be a bitterness evolved since as a kid like all the other I thought english was the cool stuff. However, the more I look at languages and listen to music in other tongues the more I realize that compared to the flowers I hear now, English is the cut grass and all it does is connect them, frame them poorly.

[Mindmaker]

Dwarves however, do play an important role in norse mythology...
Those are the guys, who sustain the gods with leet artifacts.
