I wasn't meaning you specifically, but it did remind me of some reviewers (I won't mention names, but they review often) who cite problems with the English grammar in a game while making glaring mistakes throughout their reviews: having awful punctuation, using incorrect homophones (it's instead of its or their instead of they're, for example), and similar amateurish errors. (Using incorrect homophones, btw, is an error in grammar, so the lack of self-awareness is actually a little amusing.)

One of the fairly early lessons native English speakers (and those learning English as a second language) learn covers possessive pronouns. Honestly, I don't think there's any excuse for a native English speaker to make that type of mistake. They can proofread before posting, and if they aren't sure, they can at least look it up. But to call others out arrogantly on their quality of English while making sophomoric mistakes is, frankly, annoying. I try not to criticize others over their mistakes because, as you say, I can tell what they mean. When someone hypocritically points others' errors out while making their own mistakes during such criticism, though, it gets under my skin.

On the bright side of things, the next release of Milfy City should be relatively soon. That should put anyone in a good mood. :D
To be fair, "it's" vs "its" is odd, because of the contraction vs possessive issue.

My favorite is "your an idiot". My usual response is something like "what about my an idiot?" :ROFLMAO:

True, but do any other possessive pronouns (my, your, his, her, our, their) use an apostrophe? Even the made-up flavors of gender avoid apostrophes. I get that it's confusing, but there's always an online dictionary if you are unsure.

Apostrophe indicates something is left out (you're = you are, unfeign'd = unfeigned, o'clock = of the clock, etc.). What would the left-out letter(s) for a possessive pronoun be? FYI, in Middle English, the construction was [Name + Possessive Pronoun], so "This is John his book". Over time that was shortened to "This is John's book".

But enough off-topic discussion.

It's real.


I have no idea who the woman from the picture is, but i think that everybody can agree on that she would be THE perfect Linda.
the only thing she has in common is the hair (and im pretty sure its tucked, its not actually that short). probably looks nothing like Linda in the front.

You think this thread is bad, the Summertime Saga thread is a real shitshow.
I haven't actually read enough of this thread to see how bad it is, but I do understand the frustrations on Summertime Saga. I was a patron of theirs, but the time between updates was just taking way too long for me. I also wasn't particularly happy with some of the artwork changes. I just wanted more focus in their development, and the more involved the game got, the less focused DC and team were. At least that was how I felt. There were other reasons why I stopped pledging. But I will say that if you are supporting someone, you do have the right to criticize a developer, hopefully constructively, but I know that doesn't happen. I also know from SS thread that it can get downright nasty. I am sure I aired my frustrations about DC and team on that thread, but at the time I was either still a patron or just recently ended my patronage and blowing off steam. With ICSTOR, the fact that he specifically said he is taking personal time off is fantastic. That level of transparency is not only appreciated, but for his Patrons, I think required. As far as the freeloaders go, yeah they have no room to talk. However, in saying that, being excited about an update coming out is great, and I don't think they should be ostracized for asking when an update will come out. Especially, if it has not been asked a hundred times before. Now if it has, and they still ask, then they deserve all the backlash they get. On that note, I am currently a freeloader of Milfy City (might pledge when ICSTOR comes back), and, therefore, I will never complain about the time between updates. I know this makes me in the minority, which is unfortunate, but also the truth. Finally, my point for this post was to show that there are people who have legitimate reasons to be frustrated, and that they should not just be lumped in as "whiny" bitches.

What is disturbing is not that he takes a vacation, or that he is absent, but rather that he does not say simply: the next update will be released in 2047. We would make it idea much more easily ...
