Oh, my gods! The semanticists strike back!
Neat thing is that words havr specific meanings. People's using them incorrectly fucks shit up. The worst offenders are the ones that then try to make the argument that "languages evolve" to explain their own shitty grasp of it.
Examples: Decimate. Means to kill one in ten. People started using it incorrectly a decade or two back to such a degree that people now use it to mean widespread destruction, which is wrong. That would be more in the way of Devastation. This isn't evolving, we've now effectively lost a word with a very specific meaning.
Same with people misunderstanding Celibacy vs. Chastity. Only the latter word means to refrain from sexual activity. The former was merely to remain unmarried, and many of the old orders of service would require their members be unmarried. It's mainly thanks to the influence of the Catholic church and various Christian subsects that things get fuzzy, because they forbid sex outside of marriage, so one assumes that the words mean the same thing. They don't. We've nearly had that problem with the word "literally", because people literally don't fucking know how to use it correctly.
You may play BaDIK as chaste or not(barring the flashback of Zoey), player's choice. You have no choice in that
all the games are celibate.
Semantics. Yes. It's like understanding that the statement "Adolf Hitler was a great man" does not mean he himself was a good person, nor that he did good things, but that they were of great scale and scope.
The Interlude, as the very name implies, is a break from the regular story. It was an update to the
game, but it was not an update for the MC's story, which is what everyone is here for.
And a great many of us are tired of waiting.
Butcher managed to take so long to get his last book done for Dresden that I had pretty much stopped caring about that one, too.
