Oh yes, that's good. Didn't even think about that. I'm so used to seeing -rf that I didn't even register what I was looking at for a second.

Luckily it's France, not Quebec. France is much more amenable to providing documentation in other languages.

You had 30 seconds? So much for a quick wit.

That requires telling a new joke, not just rehashing the same one with a materially insignificant difference.

Oh, that's worse than just missing the joke. That's just one-upping and mistaking it for humour.

Then maybe the Western rich should give all the haters more money than they think China is giving. Like some kind of simple money granting program.

There were lots of games that had multiple release revisions that fixed bugs. Gran Turismo 2's original versions couldn't be completed 100% due to a glitch, a reprint ended up fixing it. If you bought the game on launch, you were stuck with that copy.

This is also why if you go looking for ROMs, you'll see some games have multiple versions with some differences.

There were also lots of games that were released in buggy, unfinished states. They just don't get remembered but anyone who grew up gaming in the 90s and early 2000s probably remembers getting some garbage bargain bin games from relatives at Christmas that were complete disasters. The Fifth Element game, for example.

That just used to be the social norms in the past. At one point, it was expected that you had to wear a hat when going outdoors by default. When we were young we used to tie an onion to our belt, which was the style at the time. Things change over time.
