[Sanna Pospicil]

Whatmakes someone perfect?

Experience this short bittersweet story in the shoes of the main character, Jung, where you will spend your time hanging out with a girl named Ai. Ai is everything Jung wishes for in a woman... except for one very important thing. A thing he prefers to disregard in order for them to have the best time of their lives.

You have a day to enjoy your date and see the world from Jung's point-of-view.

To be honest, the biggest reason I checked this out was that there was a Swedish translation (the VNDB list of VNs in Swedish has just six entries and one is a dead link...). Haven't gotten far enough into the game to give it a proper rating, but I just have to ask something first:

Was this machine translated? The phrasing is really off at some points due to overly literal translations (such as "Jag hller i min haka med min hgra hand som om jag tnker efter" - you would normally write "som om [...]" with [...] in past tense even if the first is in present, and due to the word choice the first half comes off like he is grabbing his chin rather than just holding it gently.) Considering how old the game is I understand if you don't want to go back and change that. But if you want to add Swedish translations to your future releases, I would really urge you to either invest in/find a volunteer translator to help, or at least someone willing to edit the machine translation first.

Yours games are good in quality. The Carpe diem has 7,154 Chinese comments in the Steam,and almost all of them highly praise it.Even the negative comments are mostly criticizing the Chinese translation.So I think you can be confident about your games and yourself XD.

Though I say that the Asia visual novel's market is declining,it still one of the best game forms for Otaku(maybe the"Geek"in English?).We still enjoy it and regard it as a bizarre and wonderful experience.

You have seen, and perhaps shared, the memes encouraging us to carpe diem, seize the day. I have shared these myself and appreciate the encouragement to grab life by the horns and seek fulfilling experiences. The question that remains is, what do we do to seize these strange days while we are in lockdown?

I have seen the memes encouraging us to use this lockdown time to throw ourselves into various activities that have slipped to the bottom of our to-do lists. I have been urged to fill my time by writing a novel, learning a new language, or organising the forgotten dark corners of my closet. Now that I have far more unplanned and unscheduled time at home than I ever imagined, how shall I spend it?

Time is a gift and one it feels we now have in greater abundance than we did previously. In my own Christian tradition, time is the first gift of God in the Creation. God first creates light and darkness, day and night, and time begins. These days of quarantine have not changed the length of days, or the number of days in a month, but our routines, our plans and our ways of marking time have been disrupted. I find myself with simultaneously both greater and fewer possibilities of how to use this gift of time.

My own instincts are to fill up this time with busyness and activities so that my quarantine life more closely resembles the normal busyness of everyday pre-lockdown life. After tiring myself out with busyness and an ambitious schedule, I awakened to the fact I need to curb this instinct. I found that, for me, the only sustainable way through this current shelter-at-home time is not hectic activity, but rest.

I invite to you to consider how you spend your time these strange days. We come from a variety of religious traditions, and none, but these questions of time are common to us all. If these days provide an opportunity to not be distracted by busyness so that you might more deeply explore your spiritual life I encourage you to do so. We will need all our spiritual resources to get through this. If you would like to talk to a chaplain about the great resources of spirituality and/or faith, please send any of us an email with a phone number and we will get in touch.

I have learned that a more literal translation of carpe diem as used by Roman Poet Horace in 23 BCE would be "to pluck the day as it is ripe". With this understanding let us carpe diem and savour the flavour of the present moment. This present moment of physical isolation limits the fruits we can enjoy, but we can still feast on our own spiritual practice and savour the sweet nectar of connection.

In this article (in Dutch) it is claimed that an ancient Roman drinking mug found during an archaeological dig in the town of Mortsel in Belgium, contains the only known instance of the Latin inscription avoca te, translated as enjoy yourself. Similar mugs have apparently been found in Germany, some of which had inscriptions using the verb avocare, such as avoco te, but the imperative phrase avoca te is claimed to be "unique in the history of Latin".

I find the claim that this phrase has never before been found in any Latin text to be somewhat suspect, and probably misinterpreted or exaggerated by the journalist who wrote the article (even though she claims to be paraphrasing a professor of ancient history).

Is there a linguistic reason why this phrase would not have been in general use? Was the now more famous phrase carpe diem already ubiquitous in ancient times, to the extent where no one would think of expressing the sentiment any other way?

A search through the PHI corpus reveals that the exact phrase avoca te was never used in any surviving work of classical literature. I don't know of an easy way to search through the corpus of inscriptions, but I believe the author of the article here.

Why isn't this surprising? Well, it's not necessarily an obvious way to express "enjoy yourself"; āvocāre is more like "separate" or "divert" than "enjoy". So while this phrase makes sense, it's not (as far as I know) an established idiom that we'd expect to see all over the place.

For a metaphor, "divert yourself with drink" is a phrase that makes perfect sense to me as an English-speaker, but searching it (with quotes) returns no results in Google. It's just not the most common way of expressing that sentiment; there are plenty of other options out there, and it just so happens that this one goes unused.

The word order doesn't matter, so it's not correct to say that this is a "unique phrase" in Latin unless you're making a very circumscribed claim about word order (in which case, I'm sure there are thousands of other two-word phrases that are "hapax legomena"). It should be noted, though, that Augustine is using the more usual meaning of avoco, something like "withdraw one's attention." I don't think this is semantically much different from "divert yourself": even in English, "divert" just means "turn aside."

Is it the only inscription found so far that has the specific motto: "Avoca te"? Apparently. But the existence of other cups with variations (e.g. "Avoco te"; "Avoco me") shows that the specific phrase with the imperative was readily understood--just not formulaic.

In Carpe Jugulum, Terry Pratchett imitates the traditions of gothic vampire literature, playing with the mythic archetypes and featuring a tongue-in-cheek reversal of 'vampyre' subculture with young vampires who wear bright clothes, drink wine, and stay up until noon. The title is a play on the Latin phrase carpe diem ('seize [literally, "pluck"] the day') and 'Jugular vein' - in other words 'Go for the throat'.

The Magpyr family have made themselves much more formidable enemies than old fashioned vampires by building up tolerance to the normal methods used to defeat vampires. They munch on garlic, aren't bothered by bright light, cross moving water and are impervious to religious symbols. They exert a hypnotic charm over normal people which prevents them from realizing that the vampires are taking over Lancre. Only the youngest witch, Agnes, and the Omnian priest, Mightily Oats, seem able to resist this charm, due to their dual personalities. The Magpyr son, Vlad, (a common vampire name coming from the original Dracula - the Transylvanian Prince Vlad the Impaler) is attracted to Agnes because she is able to resist him.

The Magpyr family's servant is Igor who is a traditionalist who spends his spare time breeding and distributing spiders for the dark corners of the castle. He longs for the days of the old Count and the old vampire ways when there was always a billowing curtain, a room with an open window, caskets, creaking doors and all the other castle trappings made popular in vampire lore. The Magpyrs are very rude to him, and eventually he rebels, helping Magrat and Nanny escape their clutches with baby Esme. The vampires identify Granny Weatherwax as one of their more significant foes, and decide to deal with this problem by converting her to become one of their own kind. She escapes and, aided by Mightily Oats, heads to the seat of the Magpyr family's power in Uberwald. In Uberwald (German for Over the forest) the vampires have tamed the people to accept being bled once a month. Agnes is taken to the town of Escrow by Vlad and his family to witness this monthly ceremony (very reminscent of the short story the Lottery by Shirley Jackson.) Escrow is a legal term for a formal contract or agreement between parties where the document is held by a third party until its conditions are met. The Magpyrs and their vampire cohorts are foiled and retreat to their castle for their final stand while Nanny Ogg's son Shawn organizes the attack on the remaining vampires in Lancre.

As is common in Discworld novels, in this novel Pratchett references and parodies popular culture frequently, especially the films of the horror genre which the British film company Hammer Film Productions produced as well as works by Gothic authors such as Ann Rice.

As the vampires travel to the naming ceremony, Pratchett comments: "Do they really think that spelling their name backwards fools anyone?" This reference pokes fun at the many vampire movies where this ruse succeeds. In Son of Dracula (1943), there is a Count 'Alucard', in Dracula's Last Rites (1979), a vampire called Dr A. Lucard, in Dracula: the Series (1990) he is Alexander Lucard, and in Dracula: the Dirty Old Man (1969) he is Alucard.
