I love designing the geology. Mountain ranges, oceans, plate tectonics (when applicable), etc.

I am actually getting ready to read it again. It's been a year, so I only really remember that I enjoyed it. I'll add a comment once I've completed it.

Was it the movie Go where they thought they were getting involved in some sex thing, but it was actually Amway?

I'd personally just delete all of the stored data, and watch when I load the page to see what gets created.

If the same domain is being affected across multiple tabs, it's possibly related to multiple tabs trying to access the local storage at the same time. You can see that data from the dev tools built into Firefox (hit F12). https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/storage_inspector/

Didn't Hammond actually get started with a tiny elephant he used for raising capital in the books?

Not even a parent, just kinda reminds me of things I should remember but always seem to forget.

Most definitely.

Goddamn I remember when I thought like this. So many big ideas and entire worlds just floating around in my conciseness.

Yes, this is a starting point. Actually, it's a lot of starting points.

Go sentence by sentence. Why is it vague? Sounds to me like this is an old language. An old language, from before the current state of things. It's evolved as it needed, while still being private. Figure out why it started vague, and go from there. Figure out why it's private. You've got a lot to work with here.

Just break it down. Assume you need to back up every statement you make.

Okay. So start smaller. What's the coolest aspect of the language? Or the part that you're most proud of?

If I was approaching something from a language-first style, I'd probably try to figure out what kind of cultural and geographic features would influence the language in it's current form. Just some mind vomit without giving hardly any thought to it:

  • language slow and sing songy could indicate a more leisure focused society, and that would mean either nearby natural resources, or a robust engineering that handles base needs
  • Or it could be a culture that tries to embrace peace and uses song and dance to put guests at ease
  • guttural or short language could be a battlng society, where info needs to be communicated efficiently
  • Or it could be a culture that uses spoken language as only part of their method of communication.

Just spitballing here. Hope there's a nugget of something in there.

Oh jeez. Memories from this long ago are hazy at best. However, I grew up in a fundamentalist Christian household, and the kind of movies I could watch were limited. My dad was a truck driver, though, so he had a (definitely not gay maybe) love for Tom Selleck and/or mustaches. So the most graphic movies I saw were this one and Quigley Down Under. I can't remember, but this may have been my first sci fi movie ever.
