Scope creep: this time we’re sure it won’t be a disaster at all.

Really neat if they could pull it off and have it not ruin anything else in the game, though I think I’d want any social stuff to be optionally enabled rather than always on.

Yup! I grill corn when it’s in season, mushrooms, and make foil packets with potatoes, peppers, onions, and garlic and grill those as well. Also works great for making baked potatoes.

Neither? I am more wary after the launch of 6 and the issues, but I also say ‘neither’ because I’m simply not in the market for a new device.

Yeah, Doc, I’m not sure what’s wrong with me, but it seems like I have an early breakfast or a late dinner…

No thanks :) I’ll pick it back up in fall/winter when the work outside winds down.

I only got to act 2 and just got super busy so I have plenty left, heh

BG3, Skyrim, and I guess minecraft. If I can choose a non-game software, then probably the requirements for something like Godot and some downloaded documentation and libraries instead of minecraft.

Yes but also no as Steve von Trig discovered it a thousand years before and of course gets none of the credit.

They don’t always do definitive editions, so should I just wait forever and never get it?

This is not a binary. “If they do not release a definitive edition, I can never buy it” is not a true statement. Show the company that you’re not going to get it right away and convince others to do the same.

they just view that as people not being interested in the game at all, so they quit making anything.

I have never seen this happen with a popular IP. People complaining on social media would also probably be a decent enough way for someone at the company to know as around release, companies will definitely be checking.

I specifically noted that I did not think they did preorders. Secondly, you could also not buy it when it first comes out, which is what I was getting at. If you know they are going to do this, either wait to buy the “full version” or buy it later on sale or not at all. Basically, buying it when it comes out is still telling the company that, even for an incomplete product, you’re still willing to shell out full price for it.

If you keep giving them money at or around the time it comes out (or before, but I don’t think they do preorders), then they will never stop doing this.

I never learnt them and don’t remember seeing them, but that’s neat :)

What, you don’t place a wrench in the middle of all your communications for safety? heh, I shouldn’t post whilst tired.

'cause it’s a tubular word, doy. (and for a brief moment, I was a kid in the '80s again)

Something expensive is spendy.

My dictionary doesn’t think so, heh. Webster seems to say “chiefly Northwestern US” so that may explain it. I remember rolling my eyes and thinking that it sounded like something a self-important jackass would say. (edit: the first time I heard it, I mean).

I don’t think I’d ever use it, but I also don’t see it as weird or wrong anymore. Melty is fine. Slippy still grates on me a bit, but I can let it slide.

Definitely both exist in Japanese and they are used fairly frequently.

一昨日 day before yesterday 昨日 yesterday 今日 today 明日 tomorrow 明後日 day after tomorrow

Certain registers of a language do have different rules, but those also change and are still kinda whatever that part of society agrees with. Business letters that I learned to write in gradeschool in the '80s aren’t necessarily the same as I would write or expect to receive today. Ubiquitous, fast electronic communication also through a wrench into things a bit.

I’m a native US English speaker. I would only ever say oriented. As a kid, not knowing the “correct” form, I got corrected for saying orientated. I watch content from a lot of countries and do hear at least some British English speakers using orientated.

Some N greater than zero, though probably at least two unless you’re inventing a language/dialect on your own.

That is a statement I definitely can agree with in some ways. I think some of it is cultural difference and expectation being different between many western consumers versus Japanese. I think Japanese are far more used to certain practices and won’t push back as much and, generally, also make up most of the companies’ income. Not that I think that means something doesn’t need to or shouldn’t be fixed, but what I see from being here.
