    On the other hand, they didn’t have Fallout New Vegas and had to contend with the REAL Caesar’s legions, so I say we still win.

        Fun fact: Julius Caesar wasn’t the only Caesar by a long shot.

        Additional fun fact: It was super late here when my brain farted that out 😄

        Eh, Starfield isn’t actually that bad. It isn’t very good either, though, just mediocre.

        Which would have been totally fine for an indie or a niche game from a major developer.

        5 or 6/10 is worth playing for sure. It’s just not worth paying AAA money or “this is going to be the best thing ever” style hype…

        Words in English that end in “-us” and pluralize to “-i” are from Latin, such as cactus/cacti or focus/foci. However, “octopus” is from Greek, and its correct pluralization from Greek would be “octopodes.” In English, we have also adopted “octopuses,” which fits our standard pluralization rules.

        So, “octopi” is actually a language mix up, though one that’s so common that it seems to be accepted in English.

        Actually, octopi is the “erroneous” one. Although it is a very common mistake so might make the shift to recognised before too much longer.

        Everyone still understands it, so it doesn’t matter.

    You do want to keep octopuses in jars because they’re dicks who fuck up the ocean for the rest of us.

    And don’t get me started on those fucking cuttlefish.

      Blatant squid propaganda.

      You don’t see me out here disparaging Hares or even jackrabbits do you?

      Be better.
