    Hermitcraft? Seems hard seeing as the subreddit is about as official as it can get short of being literally, officially run by the Hermits. I can’t imagine a Lemmy community would see any significant amount of participation except for some number of people double-posting in both. I’d be happy to be wrong though.










  • I consider YabaIRyS more of an epithet than a nickname. I can’t imagine anyone using it to replace her name like “I wonder what YabaIRyS (IRyS) is doing”, only as a description replacing yabai like “Bruh, YabaIRyS (yabai)” in response to something she did/said.

    Forgetting Faufau is pretty indefensible. It’s been a long time, but that puts it in the same boat as Kronini and Sanana which I did remember.

    I wasn’t sure if Fuwa-chan and Moco-chan count as nicknames or if they’re just how you say their names in Japanese. I guess dropping the last syllable is what makes it a nickname as opposed to just their real name + Japanese honorific?







  • I think that’s a British influence. Rs in English words tend to get transcribed into katakana as long vowels to resemble British pronunciation, like parking → パーキング or art → アート. For a Japanese person who hasn’t formally learned a romanization system but knows a decent amount of these English → Japanese word pairs, it seems pretty reasonable to try to reverse the process by turning long vowels into Rs when writing Japanese in Romaji.
