I can never remember the rules for ‘aber’.
There’s always something in the back of my head about needing to switch the order of some of the words but I can never remember how it works.
I can blame Google translate for the lack of the capital on hilfreich (which ironically makes the statement incorrect semantically as well as grammatically :P).
We’re currently up to 210 users. @rmueglitz is the most recent new user, directly predated by @filmote and @Zockeromi.
We’ve had 11 new users in the last 31 days, so at this rate we’ll hit 256 within 2-3 months hopefully.
No idea how we’d celebrate though.
Maybe I should draw something? *horrified scream from someone in the audience* :P
I’ll leave that as that though, or we’ll derail this thread :P
Regarding the German language: It is complicated. Even germans often don’t understand it😉 I am impressed if someone wants to learn my mothertongue. I only learned english (and three dead languages).
Party for, say, 300 members? Ui, i like the idea of colourful pics all around the community🎈
There are (in my experience) about 2-3x more “lurkers”, i.e. people who read but do not register. In the last 31 days, 46 orders were completed through the webshop. In addition, I delivered a bunch of units directly. If 11 new users appeared here, I bet there were 3x more people who came by and downloaded stuff.
Lurking is completely ok. Just pointing out the obvious, that # of registered users != users. Close to 700 Pokittos (actually, probably a little over that) shipped now.
Some „lurkers“ might be from my german tamagotchi group, because they follow me around on community boards and my youtube channel, because they are (like me) always interested in cool technical gadgets. We often find out about interesting news in our group and there are always small groups trying and buying stuff together then😉
The 256 thing is a programming joke.
One byte can hold 256 values (0 - 255),
so 256 users will be the point where we ‘overflow’ 1 byte and need 2 bytes to count the number of users.
That’s why pacman had the ‘level 0’ bug after level 255,
and why the original legend of zelda game had a limit of 255 rupees.
Lurking is fine, though I’d prefer if they registered and lurked (we do have a few of those). :P
700+ Pokittos is impressive.
As in walked to people’s houses and posted them through the letter box?
Btw columns and coffins is a really nice game (reminds me of my trusty schneider pc 1512sd), but you really can’t use the loader for sd card function afterwards. You have to change the firmware.bin in order to restore everything. Maybe someone could fix this someday or makes a finished version of the game?
