Hi Taffer, I was the 4chan poster you referred to. I was mostly flippantly complaining there in order to spark dialogue and bump the thread, but my complaints were genuine. I appreciate the understanding about the language used, social mores are very loose on that site and sometimes some vitriol can help express one's feelings efficiently.
I played your mod and enjoyed it until those two events occurred, the from-behind chest punching and a couple renamed animals. My gripe was merely about text flavor and immersion while reading text output, so in reality the "autism" is on me. I very much like Ziusudra's take on how to handle bodypart names, and would reconsider my gripes about the animal names in hindsight. Some will inevitably sound awkward to my delicate ears, but upon reading the thread more closely I'm not so miffed, the "also known as" descriptions would be very helpful and everything sounds like progress.
I just didn't want to post my criticisms here because it seemed clear that text simplification was a big part your MO here, plus I'm a big fan of your stuff generally speaking. I'll be sure to post the constructive parts of my criticisms in-thread in the future, thanks for taking an interest in an internet tough guy's opinions. Will play adv-mode for a while and see if there's anything else I can shit on for you.
