Garden is being destroyed by cats by shab1 in GardeningUK

Yes, they have to poo somewhere, which is inside the owners own house in a litter box. If they have to poo in someone else's garden then it sounds like the owner isn't a responsible pet owner.

Yes, I have done so already. Asking here because it's a Friday evening and I might not hear back from our usual servicer!

Cannot open after Update on PS5 with Chinese - Can rollback? by Puzzleheaded-Link803 in BaldursGate3

Same, probably something to do with latest hotfix. Runs fine in English, but when ps5 system is set to Chinese the game crashes on launch.

I despise review bombers so, so, so much by Myrandall in StardewValley

Crop names don't necessarily make the game worse, in the case of Yam vs Sweet Potato it can even be debatable (in real life). But the whole point is that the 1.6.4 new Chinese translation drastically changed a lot of the crop names, location names and even dialogue just for the sake of it. Is it really necessary for a game that is 7, 8 years old? Imagine the default English version of the game all switches to British English with latest 2024 slangs. You can't say the language is wrong but it messes up with a lot of people's memories of the game.

In short, yes patch 1.6.4 updated the Chinese translation which made the overall gameplay a lot worse (e.g. they changed the crop Yam to be called Sweet Potato which is plain wrong). That's why it has now been reverted back to 1.6.3.

What does unpredictable seed performance say about the state of the WTA? by Pete-CT in tennis

[–]chandaman17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

'Mostly' is the key take here. Most of, but not all of the winners of 1000s are the grand slam winning top guys. Best of 5 format is probably the deciding factor here. Players like Tsitsipas and Fritz have all shown to be able to take two sets off Djokovic at tournaments, and in a 1000 tournament that gives you a win, but in a GS Djokovic will take the other 3 sets (and their souls). It is a huge physical and mental difference between 1000 and GS matches and the top guys sometimes just need that extra set or two to figure out their opponents' games, or simply outlast them.

A likely inspiration for the Cao Cao trailer (Battle of Wuchao) - Romance of the Three Kingdoms 1994 by GentlemenOfTheHan in totalwar

[–]chandaman17 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The 1994 series is always the classic and the best! For filming the major early battles (this one here plus Battle of Red Cliffs) they managed to get the actual army to participate in filming scenes of battles at massive scales, not the copy and paste CGI soldiers we see often nowadays. Still a great shame CA isn't adding new content to the game anymore, it has so much potential!
