    I think he's using Google translate.
    А что ты думаешь, дорогой? :p
     
  4. Well, I think Tiy was learned Russian even a little cuz he talked to the Russian people on IRC quite easily.
    (And some advice to you bro: you better not call your male russian companion "дорогой", unless you want be counted as gay)

    Edit: I like local censorbot very much:rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Hm, well Ti-Yuri seems native enough to me. And i know that being happy is in no way related to being happy or happy at all.
    (I call people 'дорогой' or 'dear' just for the heck of it, It's funny. And hey, I'm an anoni-moose.)

    Putting "Tiy" into Google Translate for English to English and clicking the speaker button to hear text-to-speech pronounce it, it says "Tee". It's official!

    Here's a fun fact. If you're typing "You" and your fingers are one key to the left, it comes out as Tiy.

    Conspiracy? They want me to think not!

    On Topic: Tiy is Cthulhu as it is written in Starbound's in-game language.

    For Real on Topic: I call him Tie. Or Yuri.

  9. Tie / Ti-Yuri.

    Edit: Google Translate seems to favour some variation of "Tea" and "Tey-yuri".

    I always pronounced Tiy... Pixel lord.
    Tiyuri is pronounced as Pixel lord of game development.

    Example:
    Tiy: Starbound is awesome
    ~Google translated~
    Pixel lord: Buy Starbound!
    ~End Translator~
    Me: Yes Tiyuri
    ~Google translated~
    Lowly peasant: As you wish Pixel lord of game development.
    ~End Translator~

    Tiy... kinda like DIY, huh. Train it yourself? Maybe it's some kind of pokemon conspiracy. Probably. :yeahhhh:

    His name has no pronunciation in our measly human tongue. The three letters of his name are the innitials for the name of uncreation, and successfully managing to speak them aloud would only serve to shatter the vary barrier of reality and bring forth Tiy, the lost Elder God, kin of Yogg-Sothoth and Dagon. Rejoice in your ignorance of his pronunciation, child, for if you continue to follow your curiousity you will spell doom for the minds of us mortal men.

    Although personally, in my head I kept calling him "Tee"

    It doesn't matter to me. I don't talk of this in real life. Not until it's been out for a while. I'm the hipster of my circle of friends. And the PC gamer. And the internet guy. And the guy who... Can never... Fit in...
     
  17. There's always Voice-over-IP (Skype, Steam, Mumble, etc.), or YouTube videos if either of those are your thing.

    Wrong. Tiy is a Tyrannosaurus-Rex. I didn't do an in depth investigation so people could spread their filth and lies about Tiy.
