Okay, so I was in the fort alone thinking about the community today and the translation thingy it does. You know, how I'm writing in English, but you might be reading it in Italian or Japanese? That's sorta normal when it's just text. It's like a Babelfish that doesn't stink.
What happens when we go visit each other? The translation thing still happens. Only this time, because word order is totally different in some languages, it might be translating what you're saying before you say it. And what about mouths? 'Hello' and 'konnichiwa' don't look anything alike, but when you're saying one, they're seeing you say the other at the exact same time. What is your mouth actually really doing?
Spooky. Anyone else kinda freaked out by the community? And all the stuff like this it does?
