Nah, my post was directly aimed at those that go in threads and display zero effort in getting information to post "duhh dead game bro...", when there are plenty of references to progress being made regardless if it's perceived as 'slow progress'. Hence why I even mentioned him by name.

Whereas posting something in terms of 'eagerness' as you say, only shows some form of appreciation for the project and wanting more. I don't see that any other way than making a compliment to the creator. (y)
This is my 2nd biggest pet peeve on this forum. Like, why do people even post if they're not willing to read the goddamn thread???

That was post #49,434 in the thread. At one post per second, it would take 13 hours, 43 minutes and 54 seconds to skim through the thread.

Not reading any of the thread is going too far the other way, but very few people are ever going to read more than a page or two of posts, and most people are going to read rather less before posting.

Yeah, no one expects someone to read the whole thread, but a lot of times people will ask something that was answered a post or few above them asking.

What we do expect from people is to do a cursory search to at least try to find the answer before asking. Especially when it is something that gets asked a lot.

A tip to make it easier though, go into your settings, and set the results to sort by date.

If you check the profile of that last mouthbreather who did that, you'll see he has a habit of going into threads, making inflammatory comments and leaving. Probably thinks he's very funny, witty or some shit.
Do you guys think that guys ass would be jealous with all the shit spouting from his mouth?

Anybody know where Runey's from? Sometimes the wording sounds so odd to me as an American. Is this British or something?

As a very much not American person, I can definitely say it looks a bit odd to me as well. But I'd wager it is simply because it was (presumably) quite hastily written. Here is how I would have written that same string of sentences:

"I came in here with a guy, I asked for something sexy to wear... There's no way she doesn't know I'm going to have sex in it!"

Granted, that is just how I, personally, would have written it. But I'm no writer. I am just a guy that enjoys various forms of...literature. :sneaky:

As an American, I understand both sides. The way it's written feels like an attempt to convey a sort of fast, half-panicked way of speaking where her agitation erases the division between her sentences and ideas. Her thoughts and emotions are running away with her. It's a very "as it's spoken" kind of punctuation.

That said, since it IS written down and we're reading it on the screen, I agree with MalLiz that an ellipsis or semicolon in there would be more grammatically correct and a little easier to parse in the way it's probably meant to be interpreted.

Many Ren'Py games organize various collections of many files together into RPA archive files, which are a just a header followed by an ordinary ZIP file. So just like ZIP files, they can be read using Python's zlib module (after discarding the extra header).

In this case, extraction of one of the RPA archives seems to fail. The most likely explanation is that the ZIP or RAR file of the entire game was corrupt or that it was extracted incorrectly. Most extraction tools refuse to extract from corrupted archives (unless you use a special option), but some just extract what they can, with just a warning. In this case, you might e.g. end up with an incomplete RPA file in your game directory.

OK, that suggests that the update is simply broken. Maybe the update packaged the RPA files with a recent version of RPA that is not yet supported by the Ren'Py engine shipping with v17.

If you want to avoid a full v18 download, you may be able to fix the problem by downloading and installing the commandline tool unrpa, using it to extract the RPA files shipped with v18, and then deleting them. But there is some effort involved here, and potentially some thinking.
