Reminds me of a setup I had for local serial multiplayer on my Atari ST. I had cable going from the ST's 25 pin serial port to a 9-pin connector, a gender changer, a null modem module, then 9-pin back to 25-pin. But hey, it worked.

"Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space. Listen..." and so on.

In the video game Black & White if you punished your creature every time it went to the bathroom it would eventually stop doing it completely. Until they patched it, anyway.

As per my edit of my original message, I was just being too impatient. But thanks for the reply!

When I played on PC the game looked good, but there were definitely places that could be improved. I recall facial animations looking a bit off. Not that I think a remaster is called for.

~~@jerry How long should a message take to propagate? I made a few posts over the last couple of days and they seem to have propagated correctly, but I just made a post on a thread from mander.xyz about 30 minutes ago and it hasn't yet appeared on the host instance.~~

Edit: Never mind, I was just too impatient. They're there now.

I don't know about the "becomes commonplace" part, but mangled idioms are generally called "malapropisms".

I'm pretty sure he thinks that because he went back and deleted all his messages that there's no way to tie him to them now.
