Oh, shit! I renamed youIs that my new nickname, sagecrow? lol I know it sucks I lost access to my original blkcrow account here. But that's why I put the crow for my avatar.
Yes, cooler is probably the most common term used in the US. But I have heard ice chest and ice box also used.
Oh, shit! I saw the 1 800 and the commercial also talked about $75, and didn't count the rest of the numbers. It looks like it's an Aussie thing looking at their webpage now!Should have 1 more digit in the last group: 1 800 123-4567.

Just northeastern Arizona, not the whole state.I thought Wyoming doesn't exist, not Arizona....
Fucking waste of oxygen they are.It's just our politicians reminding us that when it comes to being dopey, wasteful and annoying, nobody is better at it than the US government.
And this type of details, along with the one for Saira, is why I can't hype this game enough.The Lisa cat pose has a story in my mind.
Pesky Québécois and New Amsterdammers. Causing problems since the 16 hundreds... LOOOOOOLNot sure.if its across the board for Canada, but here in Ontario we need Quebec and the state of New York to all agree to get rid of DST.
And all 3 cant agree.
OK, I researched and discovered Navajo Nation does DST and that was the weird color on the map. WeirdJust northeastern Arizona, not the whole state.
Brilliant! I like the idea. It adds colour.Realised/realized and similar words: IIRC (I'm at work right now and don't have access to the files), the only one who uses the British spelling for "realised" is Saira. And it's on purpose because she's Indian. She will also use Mummy (for Mommy, not the Egyptian thing), flavour, and other similar things.
Oh yeah they've got a lot of their own rules. I figured it was the weird Mormons, which is what I was referencing when I said we don't talk about them.OK, I researched and discovered Navajo Nation does DST and that was the weird color on the map. Weird
Interesting on Lisa and Debbie - makes sense. And I didn't realize that Saira was speaking in a British accent - or that it was only being used for her. I'll have to remember that.Ice boxes: That phone number is from the US, right?

I'm pretty sure Quebec will always take the position contrary to everyone else. Even if the other parties eventually agree to come around to their perspective, they'll change their minds.Not sure.if its across the board for Canada, but here in Ontario we need Quebec and the state of New York to all agree to get rid of DST.

Wasn't there a "meme" circling around years ago (when they were on paper) that "translated" Québec to "Contrarian" or something like that? I remember vaguely a list of Canadian Provinces and what their names "meant"... I have this idea of Ontario being "On the Move", but poor me can't remember the rest... (I remember Ontario because I have a bunch of family there)I'm pretty sure Quebec will always take the position contrary to everyone else.

There's a lot of hidden things in the scenes. Most of them are me thinking "What is X thinking right now, or when she chose her outfit? In which mood is/was she?"And this type of details, along with the one for Saira, is why I can't hype this game enough.
Peace![]()
Saira has had little dialogue where I could use British localisms, I couldn't shoehorn a sentence with any of the known -our (colour, flavour, etc.) endings until 0.15 or 0.16. She also is inconsistent (on purpose on my part) with her accent. She grew up in India, studied the last two years of High School in Scotland, and College in Portland. Her accent will be mostly British, but she will use some American expressions because she's hearing them daily. That way, if I slip and use "guys" instead of "blokes", there's an in-game reason behind it.Interesting on Lisa and Debbie - makes sense.

As for TechniIce, it may have an "800" number in the ad, but:

Exactly. I've visited close to half the states in the US and lived in 5 different ones from one coast to the other. I've heard a lot of different variations of American English.Yeah, the TechniIce thing wasn't the reason I used "Ice boxes" in the game. It was the first image that showed up when I looked for "Ice boxes" when I was looking at it to answer you
As sagerock820 said, and he's as American as NY-style pizza, he has seen written as "coolers", "ice chests", and "ice boxes", and I should trust my proofreaders, right?
Even then, most of those names are very regional. It will probably called one thing in north east part of the US and another name in the south and another name in the midwest.
