Katana Zero & Paralanguage In Games [Video Essay]

Hey everyone!

There are lots of things Katana Zero does really well - the combat is smooth, each track is a banger, yet what I stuck with after countless hours of playing, was the question why its dialogues feel so alive. Sure, they're animated and quite colourful, but I wasn't satisfied with that answer, which is why I researched and made a video essay about the topic. Katana Zero is neither the first nor the only game that thinks outside the literal box in that regard, so feel free to share your own experiences and games that touch upon this topic! https://youtu.be/40GwEf4bFuA

As always, thanks to the mods for letting me share this here :)

Have yourselves a good one!

Is there a categorical difference between words imitative of paralanguage, and paralanguage itself?

The word ha makes for a good example. It's an onomatopoeia, of imitative origin, and as my amateur mind understands the concept, a protoword. It strikes me that ha pairs the most low-effort consonant (a bit of wind in the glottis) to the most low-effort vowel (a completely lax pharynx and tongue). It's not surprising that it refers to a sound we make with our vocal tract spontaneously and reflexively (i.e. paralanguage).

I think a lot of words that are imitations of paralanguage tend to use sounds that are not demanding in a fine-motor sort of way: /h/, /m/, /a/, and /Ι™/ come to mind. There was a discussion in this sub some time ago about the universality of the word huh, and I remember thinking "That's paralanguage, it doesn't count."

But is there really any clear border between words that imitate paralanguage, and paralanguage itself? I haven't dived down the rabbit hole of evolutionary linguistics (yet), but from what little I know about that school of thought, I can imagine someone from it arguing there isn't.

It might be fun to compare fMRI images of people spontaneously provoked into uttering things like huh, ow, hmm, haha, versus being prompted to express one of these expressions with social cues despite it not coming naturally to them in that situation. My guess would be that the language center (Broca's area) would be involved in the latter but not the former. But quite possibly both, or neither, which would be a pretty interesting result either way.

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

My 4 year oldest favourit joke, which he very proudly memorized and told all his teachers.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

I was almost upset that my coffee tasted like dirt today

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
