Sure, but in my case, I type "PlayStation" instead of "PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5" which also require to type twice Alt+255 to add non-breaking spaces before the 4 and the 5. 🧐 And I'm pretty sure people can guess that the games I'm talking about are not for the original Xbox or PlayStation, even if they often look retro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens once ps6/7/8… or Xbox 720/two/parallel… come out? I mean, in general I read reviews/articles sometimes years if not decades after they were written. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't think people will read my release digests years after, they're not exactly articles. Also, I must precise I still have to type "PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5" if the two systems don't share the same PlayStation Store page (the whole point is providing the links to the store page).

I remember when Nintendo (Who always butchered up the names of their console right before release...Remember Ultra, and Dolphin?). changed the name of the Nintendo Revolution to the Wii. We couldn't believe it! I said what's the sequel gonna be called, the Nintendo Wii Wii Wii all the way home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole thing is more confusing than wondering who Parker Bros didn't tell when system their games be for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayler Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I'm finding immense enjoyment from J-mu stressing over this one specific letter he accidentally chose wrong as opposed to everything he has ever written all the time. But I'm thinking the problem might be this keyboard design he uses, where the keys constantly change places. It's very popular in Netherland, it's how they came up with their language after all. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin and Revolution were code names and were never intended as definitive names. 3 hours ago, GoldLeader said: I'm not following you on the Alt+255 thing here, roots.

I just hate when a "4" or a "5" appears alone on the following line in a text, so I insert a non-breaking space BEFORE the number, which requires to select the space and type Alt+255 (on Windows at least). The point is to avoid this for instance: blah blah blah blah PlayStation 4 blah blah blah blah and get this instead: blah blah blah blah PlayStation 4 blah blah blah blah And in languages like French, we also have the same problem with punctuation, since we type spaces before quotes, colons, exclamation points, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no your finger did not move too fast, it’s true mistakes happen but no need to make up excuses, and don’t swear to anything as we are at it. Whether letters are close to each other or not, it can still often times happen that if you hit a letter and then quickly swipe to another one far away from the first one you did hit, that it then registers the other letter instead, and yes a can reread everything once again and correct certain mistakes, but only for 30 minutes? Why couldn’t they just give us unlimited time to edit stuff whenever we want it? , what if the whole written text takes longer then 30 minutes to read and you want to correct something at the near bothem of that text, well good luck tracking down that mistake within that half hour, if atariage could just give us unlimited time to edit stuff for correcting things, i guess everybody will be better with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
