THE NEW Miscellaneous Talk That Doesn't Deserve A New Thread Thread Thread (Part 1)

[Evolution4Weak]

Yeah I had to refresh the page for the change to occur, but it does kind of look weird now that’s it normal lol

[Null (Viextremin)]

I just logged into the thrive forum on my tablet and learned: there is a thrive app

Thrive according to an AI:

Ah yes, my favorite arcade game, Thrive

[DeepSix (He who overuses footnotes)]

The symbol in the bottom kind of looks like Thrive’s logo

Screenshot’s

Not related to the discussion, but this is a thing I’ve been wondering about for a while. I’ve been seeing more and more instances of plural forms being formed with apostrophe+“s” instead of just “s”. Like screenshot’s/screenshots.

Which is new to me: I’m not a native English speaker, but I’m a translator, and I’ve never been taught of such cases. Is it correct to do so?

[hhyyrylainen]

I’m 95% sure that that’s just a mistake. Similarly to how many native English speakers get “to” and “too” wrong where things that sound basically the same get written incorrectly accidentally.

[Scyobi_Empire (has far too many pseudonyms)]

I’m a native speaker and I still don’t fully know when to drop the apostrophe when it comes to words ending in s, but atleast you don’t do what I just did (and with ofcourse). Force of habit.

[Evolution4Weak]

Yeah that was just a mistake

The BIGGEST Valve Deckard "Leak" EVER

My prediction might have been wrong afterall; the Valve Deckard could release this year! I can’t wait! I haven’t played with my Index for so long because it has a tendency to overheat as hell after 20 minutes now. I can’t risk to play with it. It could die. I hope the Valve Deckard will have better cooling capabilities.

Haven’t been here in quite a while; what’s been popping, how is progress going?

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

Multicellular prototype is getting people exited, oliver made a YouTube video on thrive that brought in some new members, discussing underwater civs got banned again for reasons and the forum games are popping off rn.

[vej (Vejou)]

from what i’ve seen, it seems to be ok to use it for single letter plurals like “A’s” and “B’s” but it still gets seen as unnecessary by some places. would acronyms use it or just letters?

[SimoneNobili (the Thrive connoisseur)]

I found this article. Apostrophe | The Punctuation Guide
Welcome to the forum btw!

[vej (Vejou)]

So, US2 got a big change regarding the way that stars look, and I just hate it. I know that I’m going to get used to it and that it makes the stars look more realistic, but…

This looks like cancer to me rn.

This is how it used to be btw.

Is that Beetlejuice?

They should add some glow effect like in spaceengine, it doesn’t look like something difficult
