  • the official explanation is “marketing”. (there’s a few reasons for it. 9 is considered unlucky in japan, for example. they wanted branding with 10. etc)

    The fun thing is that there was a version that should have come out between 8 and 10 and didn’t. they decided to abandon it in very very pre-alpha because it was just that bad. (No, that probably doesn’t explain the gap. but its fun to poke at.). Basically it was supposed to take all the stupid features like seamless phone OS integration and tablet stuff and become some sort of uber universal-operating system that sucks.



  • So I have a theory that defines “best dog” as being related to proximity. Both, physical, literal proximity and more figurative terms.

    All Snickers wanted, was to be with you. Touching was best. Not much, mind. She’d settle for sitting against your leg, or a head against your knee, maybe a hand scratching the ears.

    Was one of the best dogs of all time. Super chill.


  • Growing up, we had Snickers. She was a Goldie-something, and hands down one of the best dogs ever.

    (She had coloration similar to a Rottweiler- back body, with brown eyebrows and brown belly, but otherwise had hair and body conformation like a typical Goldie.)

    In any case; when she was young, she loved to attack nature docs on the TV. Or any animal on the TV, to the extent that you could see scratched on the glass after it was turned off. (The scratches were likely in a laminate layer or something. But they were there and they were permanent.)
