Saturday-ing
28 Mar 2020 18:28I'm doing an infrequent attempt at gaming on Linux, using SteamPlay. Path of Exile didn't launch, so now I'm trying to see if Dynasty Warriors might, after it's been downloaded.
Chinese name gender guesser, for OC naming aid. I'm testing it with the Guardian cast, and it misgenders Zhao Yunlan, Lin Jing, Ya Qing, Zhao Xinci, Shen Xi, Wu Xiaojun (Butler Wu's son), Chu Nianzhi (Chu Shuzhi's twin), Guo Xiong (Guo Changcheng's mother), Professor Ouyang, and some of the one-offs, but otherwise it's OK. (I suspect it's calculating gender scores depending on how frequently certain hanzi appear in men's names vs women's names, and if % male is over 50, predicts it's a guy, so it's less that Zhao Yunlan has a feminine name and more that Zhao Yunlan's name is moderately androgynous/doesn't have strongly gendered characters in it.)
( the misgendered one-offs, for later error rate calculations ) ETA: failure rate 9/48 (~19%) for men and 8/24 (~33%) for women. Women, I suppose, are more likely to be given masculine names than vice versa.
Further ETA: plugged in the MDZS names. ( It sucks at xianxia. )
I also did some baking (well, "baking") and now have dou sha baos in the steamer. Adding a bit of glutinous rice flour to the dough makes it much nicer to handle. Made poacked chicken in scallion ginger sauce on Friday and ate the leftovers – as advertised in the recipe, it tastes just as good at room temperature. Tomorrow, I'll make sesame oil chicken soup. We're not on lockdown, and I get to go to work (because only some of my job can be done from home), but I'm a homebody anyways. This'll keep me occupied, if nothing else.
Speaking of cooking, I want Shen Wei to feed Ye Zun. Shen Wei expresses love through feeding people, Ye Zun has some "keep people with him forever by eating them" thing going on that makes him very suitable for getting fed, boom, didi reformation. And speaking of Ye Zun, my Focus on: Ye Zun post is almost done. Tune in next week for various forms of villain wank! *g* (Or tune in this week for![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
