That's a rather interesting take, even if the update comes in 5 years (hey even I am optimistic sometimes), he could always say: "only a few days late, sorry guys!".

Hey, I'm free!!!
Yeah, the levels of mental gymnastics performed with this whole " Just days, not weeks" defining game is asinine and infantile. I stand by my previous statement that BC is dishonest and that's ALL I'll say.

Welcome back wolf. Hope you didn't drop the soap while in thread jail.Hey, I'm free!!!

I did not realize that just like his patrons BlueCat was also a gold level mental gymnast. He must be getting high on his followers supply of copium or something, there is no other way to justify this. I mean even looking at his terms it is "weeks" away because 3-20 days includes a time range greater than two weeks. I gave up on this game a while ago and am just here for the shitposting
I think I figured it out, the reason the translation is taking so long is he is trying to convert it to Old Entish.

To be fair, plural literally just means more than one.
Bluecat was pretty on the nose here.
So if it takes 10 weeks, that's still weeks.
But he said it's a matter of days not weeks not months.
Which, if you're being a hardass means that anything over 7 days is going over his own deadline.
Even if you were super lenient and relaxed about it(because why wouldn't you be after one and a half years of missed deadlines), anything over two weeks is breaking your word.

technically, 33 days is still days.

Lol Sounds like if Bluecat came to a sudden stop, your nose would go halfway up his ass.....
I'm assuming he didn't really mean this as a defense of BC, but still need to say this:
I'm not a native speaker ... but technically, 1 day is 0.14 weeks, right?
Technicalities (while fun) are not really helpful here.
The very fact that this is even debated pretty much means that yet another deadline was missed.
But it's ok! Should an update be released at some point in the future, it will surely be within the (then current) deadline...
At this point his deadlines are only serving a comedic purpose.

When someone says days away that means it is close, not weeks, and certainly not months that is why one can also state something is weeks away or months away from happening. If you use the term days people expect it in that context. Not in weeks and definitely not in months.
He did not say we were talking weeks he said we were talking days. He clarified it would not be weeks or months yes he could mean 33 days but you know what 33 days is? A month, and do you know what a month is? 4 weeks.

Only if there's no further qualifiers, such as "not weeks, not months". Adding said qualifiers means that the timeline is no longer open-ended.

Edit: For the record, I was assuming BC pulled the numbers out of thin air to excuse the time it was taking for this release.
It turns out I was wrong. He was actually reiterating something he had said
And naturally BC went somewhere no-one could have predicted, and said that:
And it's not even really his tortured logic that gets me, but rather the arrogance of acting like it should be universally accepted and understood.
You just can't make this shit up.

You must be registered to see the links
. Probably doesn't mean much to most people, but to each their own...Did you miss the full context? First BC said
You can't say that and reasonably expect people to interpret it as "any conceivable number of days". If I were to put numbers to that, I'd say 13 days or less (ie. less than 2 weeks). Of course, this is BC so I know better than to try to get anything concrete from an ambiguous statement.
And naturally BC went somewhere no-one could have predicted, and said that:
So apparently two weeks is not weeks.
So apparently two weeks + 6 days (ie 20 days) is not more than two weeks!
And it's not even really his tortured logic that gets me, but rather the arrogance of acting like it should be universally accepted and understood.

exactly if he would not come off as so arrogant he would probably be less criticized or in the very least people would not jump at any opportunity to criticize him or laugh at his "logic"Did you miss the full context? First BC said

but I guess he can't admit fault... in his mind probably the players are at fault for the delay of the update.
But these are all my assumptions .. they might be totally wrong, might be.
So....take what I said with a truck of salt

You're correct, but that's literally just semantics. On the other hand we would say '0.1 week' and 'a half week' but 'two quarter weeks' (if those quantities made any sense).

Well, given BC doesn't use "our" timezones (and uses catzone) maybe he is using his cat math to come up with his 3-20 days? Plus, maybe it's his cat MTL translating his posts in the attempt to convey what he means.Did you miss the full context? First BC said

I mean, cats will sit in a drawn square on the floor believing it to be a box so who knows what metaphysical processes go through his cat mind?
