I keep seeing the girl on reddit and I was curious so I looked the trailer up. I can see why she's trending.

great name btw

That's what I call 'girl power'

No I'm pretty sure that's literal fire power

welcome to New Eridu Outer Rings where fire is the normal way to quench your thirst and a cringey dance to appeal and make famous is the best way to market a cute arsonist

also call out to madugongmaria and for also being borderline white //runs away

o u o;;;
i can connect with "arsonist" but the rest not so much o u o;;;

Burnice Character Demo Theme Music (Perfect Loop) | ...It's so catchy I hate it

I'm not going to play the game though

madugongmaria: "I can connect with arsonist".
Uh, should I be worried about fire news in your area from now on?

chaosghost: o u o;;;;;;;

(no cos i loved burning things when i was in my early teens lol)

That's some real Nominative Determinism right there. Just cuz your name has burn in it doesn't mean you have to burn stuff lol

havent tried burning ice yet tho

at least you haven't suffered ice burns, so that's something

madugongmaria: Ooooooh!!! I can relate to loving burning things. Heck, I sort of liked the smell of a burnt candle gives. Not so much the distinctive smell of burnt stuff tho.

i am surrounded by arsonists

faramond: yes i love the burning candle smell!! as well as the matches lol
and, because chinese, we do that paper money offering every all souls day. that always fascinates me x'D i love places that smell like smoke lol (but not chemical smoke; that one hurts the nose)

chaosghost: You know how they say birds of a feather flock together? Maybe you've got latent arsonist tendencies

No arsonists just gravitate toward me because I'm just that hot

...or I'm just someone that people want to burn alive.

madugongmaria: YESS! Burning paper smells kinda pleasant, but not all paper, since there are some kinds of paper that smell off, like cardboard packaging.

I've never been to that paper money offering ceremony tho, but I've experienced burning things at graves, and kinda doing some kind of sauna on it. the eldery say it's to fend off lost spirits from following you home.

chaosghost: Either way, one of us!

chaosghost: hah! wick!
i'll see myself out...

oh no I just got flamed

man, remember when "flaming" was a term in internet lingo.

is flamed and burned connected? maybe an evolution of the term used?
but then there's hot -> fire -> lit

IIRC, iba yung naging connotation ng "flaming" or "to flame", it's basically akin to "to inflame". To "flame" an internet discussion forum is to "generate controversy by veering the discussion into a divisive topic"

or to "fan the flames" of an already existing heated discussion.

madugongmaria: I think "lit" came from "lit on fire"? But I'm no scholar in internet terminology and youth slang.

Flaming (Internet) - Wikipedia oh my god it's a reference to The Human Torch saying flame on.

> Flaming is distinct from trolling, which is the act of someone causing discord online or in person.
Damn, I've actually gone like decades on the internet conflating trolling and flaming. But then again, iba din ang pagkakaintindi ko sa trolling (trolling is a superset of behaviors, which include flaming).

faramond: i dunno the exact path it took but read that it was connected somehow; made sense in my head cos yup, lit on fire or lit = on fire/currently burning

It's Litoh my god "lit" isn't even related to fire

I hate words sometimes

WAIT IS THAT WHY BURNICE MAKES ALCOHOLIC DRINKS

what the bloody heck!!!

> Flame trolling is the posting of a provocative or offensive message, known as flamebait, to a public Internet discussion group, such as a forum, newsgroup or mailing list, with the intent of provoking an angry response (a "flame") or argument.

Oh damn. So what I thought is "flaming" is what is termed in the wiki article as "flame trolling".

madugongmaria: we're both wrong.
I hate English sometimes.

chaosghost: Damn, was that ever intentional?

I don't know, I have no idea what the lore is on the game. I wouldn't be surprised though, it's a good theme to build a brainrot pyromaniac character around at the very least

i feel like it goes even deeper/older than that. i don't believe it's random to just use "flame" as THE word

madugongmaria: alcohol burns -> guy drinks alcohol -> brain gets "lit" by the alcohol -> profit.

it just takes one drunken guy to spill their alcohol onto their lamp to discover that alcohol is flammable, so i guess that tracks

faramond: kinda morbid if that was true, horrible drunken accident spurs internet slang

kinda how I took "lit" to mean. like she's so brilliant she spontaneously combusted. (tho before you become brilliant, you have to be emitting light on the visible spectrum, so either you're having an incredibly high temperature, or literally on fire)

I CANNOT BELIEVE THE BERNICE CAN HAVE THIS MUCH SPIRITUAL CONNECTION TO THE DESIRE TO ARSON minus how it sounds like furnace... imagine naming your child furnace but pronounce it similar to bernice.

Burnice - Teen version of Klee

And speaking of arson, the male character there is named Lighter
