According to the Solaris wikipedia article, it looks like Oracle has added major features/enhancements since going back to closed source. Do any of those features make it back to illumos/Open Indiana?
Just curious - what elements of the game do you find pretty impressive and nice? There doesn't seem to be much of a game loop, or anything to do really other than some broken fetch quests. I've definitely seen a few impressive looking screenshots, but the graphics are starting to look a bit dated already. Based on some of the current bugs/issues, it seems to be missing quite a bit of core technology needed to make that promised detailed multiplayer a reality.
I don't really have a good explanation other than we already have words like 'However' and 'But'. It also seems redundant, maybe just start typing your contradictory position without the need for a connecting phrase?
That being said, it may just be me who is annoyed by the phrase. I think it just gets used a lot and I can't help but notice for some reason. I think I've associated the phrase with strawman arguments and my hollow cringe is unfair judgement.
There should be a version of this for hacker news comments and tech blog posts. Every time I see the phrase 'that said' or 'that being said' I involuntarily cringe.
