Hi, guys. I haven't been around for while because I thought a few months off would help the development time pass faster. I gotta say, I'm surprised to see this thread not replaced by one for A22 yet... I know, you've been talking about it, I read the last few pages. I was going to make a mostly-joke about that being because they were planning to surprise us by saying, "Haha, there is no A22, next up is 1.0!" but I see someone already did on this very page. I haven't been able to find anything about why there's not a countdown to A22 yet. Can I assume the reason is that it's still many months away?

That’s a relief. Thanks, guys!

I built a massive house in-game several months ago and I haven't exported it as a POI yet. I'd like to install the new alpha, but I want to save my base first... I notice Steam updated something, so I want to make sure it's safe. Before I risk anything, when I launch the game, will it still be A20? I'm sure this is an elementary question, but I want to be very sure. Thanks!

Three months? I hadn’t heard that one.

That is compelling evidence that you and I have verrrrry different play styles. I would hate a base that auto-repaired.

I just mean conceptually, and for my personal taste. When it comes to zombie media I like my zombies to be dead. 28 Days Later-style viruses are prosaic for me; gimme the supernatural or total ambiguity and I'm happy. Plus I don't find anything appealing about shooting loads of sick people.

Well, I hope that's not the case. There's nothing duller than "virus" zombies. Look at me, keeping my cool with the OCD bit. Why, I'm not even mentioning it.

Ahh, I see. I didn’t start thinking about honey until after I could cut trees, so I had no idea.

I was going to mention the trellis, as well. I was starting to wonder if it were different in some way. Hang on, are stumps good for something?

You’re way off-target. I don’t want it used as an adjective because it’s a crime against language. It’s a freakin’ noun. When it comes to usage, the internet slang application is just too damn stupid to live. Demand more eloquence from your colloquialisms. If you want to come up with a less clumsy way to slangify “OCD,” I’m all for it, and I’ll consider your grant proposal. Now, as for taking offense, you’re certainly welcome to your opinion - I’m rabidly opposed to hyper-cautious language myself - but there are some major logical flaws in your golf parallel and your assumption about my underlying mentality is a wide miss, though understandable. I’m not keen to discuss it further, though, for a whole host of reasons, not least because I’m aware I dragged things WAY off topic.

My sincere apologies. You and me both. I just get so very, very, very, very sick of hearing people use it as a goofy euphemism for being picky, and seeing it three times in five minutes got on my last untrodden nerve today. I also failed to notice two of them were from the same person. 🤦‍♂️ It’s a testament to my frayed nerves that I thought for minute you might actually do that. With that in mind, for the love of all that’s holy, I beg you to stop using it as an adjective. For me. As a favor.

Man, you people really don’t get what OCD is.

True, but so will the planet-wide cold fusion energy grid.

Hey, Star Citizen’s new alpha just dropped. You guys gonna let them win?!

Petsi, no Coke.
