I think we're beginning to see Mexico flex it's cultural muscles out of the latinesphere.

Not videogames, but latine culture inspired shows like Villainos, El Tigre, and my personal nostalgia bait MUCHA LUCHA!!!!!, definitely foretell Mexico entering the same space of cultural influence in the west as places like Japan with Anime and JRPGs

Latino*

FTFY. Please don't massacre our language.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Estas son las nuevas palabras incorporadas al diccionario por la RAE

If you think latine is an affront to Spanish check out these words accepted into the Spanish dictionary just this year.

You’re not fixing anything you’re just keeping things shitty.

What makes you think it isn't? It's not English speakers that care about Spanish conjugation.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

because substantives are gendered in spanish and similar. and your proposal is changing an entire fucking language you probably don't even speak.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

You don't even know who's talking to you, and it wasn't an idea created by English speakers.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don’t feign to have the power, only illuminating how weak the arguments against this change are.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

so usians expect us to change our entire language because..?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

usians

Irony so thick you’d need two hands to slice through.

Your entire language is already changing, big data, balconing, cookie, and crack are all accepted words into the official Spanish language. Latine though, that’s one step too far huh?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

no. our entire language is gendered.

stop saying things you understand nothing about. do you speak any language similar to spanish at all?

usians

yes, funny how you name yourself after an entire continent like you own it. pretty fitting to your hissy fit though.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (3 children)

Please tell me whether the word estudiante is masculine or feminine. How about paz, felicidad or azul?

No the entire language is not gendered but do go on about the language you claim to know but haven’t actually mastered.

Usians is not a term one gives themselves it’s a derogatory term used by others for exclusion and it’s ironic that you’d use one intended as an insult trying to defend against the use of one for inclusivity.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

la paz, la felicidad. both feminine.

give me a break. at least learn the language you have the gall to demand us to change before you do.

you just showed a reason why we are derogatory to you.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Yet you don’t understand why you have to use la to refer to those words, here’s a hint it’s because they aren’t gendered. If you’re going for the egg on my face look you’re absolutely nailing it. 10/10

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

🙄 you are free to look up any other word ending with 'o' then, since thats whats seemingly bothering you. but you should really learn the basics if you care so much.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 7 months ago

What bothers me is your ignorance and your inability to hold a good argument.

Is "latine" the new latinx after that got overwhelmingly rejected by actually latino people? If so that seems very presumptuous to try, again, to push something onto a foreign language the speakers do not want.

It also reads very unfortunate, I did a triple take because I kept processing it as latrine.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think Latin@ would be a better fit since it has both a and o in it. Who do a write to make this proposal official? Where is Latin@america central command?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (2 children)

How you gonna pronounce that? Latinat?

Well it’s actually Latiné, so not pronounced “la-teen”

Its hilarious, if you called a Mexican a fucking "latine" they'd look at you like you were a pinche mamon lmao.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Native speaker here and I totally agree. Every other word is gendered. What, am I gonna call a washing machine lavadore or car carrx? This definitely feels like North Americans trying to colonize our language.

I unironically played nothing besides that game for a majority of high school and had no idea Squad was a Mexican company. Shame ksp2 apparently was not great

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Ksp2 has come a long way since the initial release and the frustrations associated with it. It's not quite there yet, but it's still very much early access, and the progress thus far looks promising.

I played ksp1 for YEARS, and KSP2 has for me now reached the point where I can have fun beyond just experimentation and dicking around. I recently completed my jool5 expedition complete with two VTOL capable spaceplanes for Laythe. These also had drop tanks for extended range to survey these specific points of interest on the planet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Man, I'm so jealous. I've never been able to get a plane to another planet.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Steam still has it in Early Access still but is charging $50, full price for something they can't call complete. Gamebreaking bugs and FPS drops to 10 sometimes, it needs work but it seems like Squad is letting the community do the work for them like KSP1.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

Squad is not developing KSP2

That’s why when you launch the game it says “intercept games” and not “Squad”

I’m starting to think you may not have played it since release though.
