Vacation?

#1 Post by MisiuPysiu »

Hmm.

I can't remember, when was the last time, when for 9 days no new updates to the latest git (previously svn) were made.

2 possibilities:
- DarkGod is on vacation :)
- DarkGod is preparing something BIG.

I hope DG doesn't have vacations...

Seems to be both at the moment.
My feedback meter decays into coding. Give me feedback and I make mods.

If DG wants a vacation, he can have it, with our blessing. Oh wah, it delays an update. He's put over 10 years of his life into this game with no recompense whatsoever, beyond the happiness it brings us, and our thanks. If he wants a year long sabbatical, I approve. You can't expect him to just slave away constantly. If nothing else, burnout would be an issue.

DarkGod is immune to burnout. Gods do not easily burn! Unless you're Sher'Tul...

You didn't think my comments about not having vacations are serious, did you?

Considering he hasn't given any warning and that he's shown up increasingly little(Apparently he hasn't even checked the forums in the last four days), I'd guess real life busy, most likely.

I'd like to check with DarkGod about it, but he is busy with his telugoroth... I mean, girlfriend. :(
Will look into vimsense, the addon seems to be breaking a few small unrelated things.
No idea if there's truth to that statement, or just a wild guess, but, that seems to qualify as 'real life'.

Back to hiding in our caves and conducting sacrifices to appease the Dark God again then!

About time! I've got a backlog of firstborn children and local unmissed hobos waiting. May DarkGod smile upon me for my sacrifices. Oh yeah, and my soul. He always has that.
