  • So after immediately getting it and going through a few settlements, wow did this patch break my muscle memory hard.

    I was panicked-looking for my Geyser Pumps and my Rain Collectors. (they’re under gathering now)
    The new stuff seems all awesome. Fishing Huts are an interesting change of pace since you can haul in the nets early but that instantly depletes the node. Frogs are fascinating and a giant headache, being unable to be housed in non-specialized homes. The change on Foxes to no longer be rainwater-specialized makes the races feel more balanced. The new recipe combinations are weird as hell (again, all muscle memory gone) but seem balanced so far.

    All very nice. Am impressed.










  • Because things like black protagonists with hip-hop music in the background make no sense in a feudal japanese setting and people are sick of games being abused as vehicles for morality preaching.

    But games about dudes in medieval-looking sci-fo power armor stomping around WW1-styled soldiers do?

    And that doesn’t preach any morals? But a black guy in a samurai setting does? How come one does, but the other does not?

    Also…

    An example from borderlanfs two could be Sir Hammerlock, who was introduced as a normal (for borderlands) character early on and later in a side quest was revealed to be gay in passing.

    Maybe don’t make it as readily apparent how much you internalized gayness being abnormal. Telling. You wouldn’t write sentences like this if that wasn’t a normal thought process for you, since you did probably not have to actively consider your wording.







  • Do you? Then how come examples like OP’s don’t really specify much.

    Is that any keyword? All keywords? Where? Tags? Title? Name? Description? If all, do they all have to appear int he same field(s)? Anywhere? On the whole page including crosssellers?

    This is what to mean: it’s easy to say “just search for exactly this!”, but what you intuitively think of as “exactly this” is not intuitive from the perspective of a search index. At all. So it gets preprocessed and changes before being used for a search, and in many cases, widened. Because we humans are very bad at putting in an accurate search such as: name:"60w" and description:"standby". We rarely do that.


  • There’s nothing in it for them, the simple fact is that the virtual all of people does not look for specific terms.

    Hence the search is optimised to give you loads of things that relate to some parts of your search at least.

    Source: did backend code for shopping frontends for years.

    The search is incredibly fuzzy, plus the tag words of products themselves are fuzzy. And usually they don’t allow forcing a hard match search, though you can try + or and between each word. We had one site that allowed it, just use lucene search syntax.
