And on a decent pc, the highest quality is extremely smooth! I was expecting very blocking lighting but they did a very good job on the implementation.

[–]TehBrian 122ポイント123ポイント  (106子コメント)

but they did a very good job

IIRC its just made by one person, /u/sp614x.

He's a great guy.

[–]ObsidianG 144ポイント145ポイント  (103子コメント)

Then it's the singular, gender neutral 'they' used when you do not know the preferred pronouns of the person in question.

[–]Toiler_in_Darkness 3ポイント4ポイント  (16子コメント)

There are some cogent arguments that we should move to a constructed language. It really doesn't make sense to have gendered pronouns at all, in my opinion.

[–]SgtFinnish 38ポイント39ポイント  (3子コメント)

That's what I love about Finnish. No gendered pronouns and we still refer to everyone as 'it'

Username checks out.

Does that make everyone a shitlord by default or no one a shitlord at all?

[–]GlobeOfIron 14ポイント15ポイント  (0子コメント)

If everybody is a shitlord, nobody is.

It's probably not going to happen. Just like how the US hasn't really adopted the metric system.

[–]Toiler_in_Darkness 0ポイント1ポイント  (10子コメント)

I'm not worried: the US is busy becoming as irrelevant as all the other countries that can't accept the metric system. ;P

[–]gameboy17 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

All the other, what, five countries?

NASA hasn't been to the moon since. ;)

Keep milking the apex of your nation. It's been all downhill since. :P

Internet is a better accomplishment than moon landings, imo

[–]Toiler_in_Darkness 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Depending on what specific tech you consider "the internet".

TCP/IP was American, but most people don't even know enough about their network stack to care. Any protocol would do.

The worldwide web and hyperlinked documents (web pages) are British.

preferred pronouns

Get a load of this guy.

[–]LewsTherinTelamon 46ポイント47ポイント  (0子コメント)

"They" as a gender inspecific pronoun has been around for centuries, and it's pretty much the furthest thing from "preferred," since in most cases you only use it when you've never seen the person in question.

[–]Dfnoboy 25ポイント26ポイント  (48子コメント)

what?

[–]Datdus 13ポイント14ポイント  (1子コメント)

Get a load of this they.

Fixed that for you.

If you want to steer clear from this, just collapse my comment tree

1) This is /r/Minecraft, so could we please keep this sub clean of this debate. I have my opinions on the matter, but this isn't the place. I will say this however:

2) He/she and (s)he are the grammatically proper forms of uncertainty if you're really gonna try to correct someone. They is a conventionally accepted form but is not grammatically proper.

3) You haven't a clue as to said user's preference nor gender (nor does it really matter in this situation), and I haven't seen anyone complain but you. Using "he" isn't doing any harm anyhow, OptiFine's dev is simply being recognized.

Edit: header

[–]robocroque 15ポイント16ポイント  (6子コメント)

Agreed besides point 2), it is very much grammatically correct.

[–]Dr_Narwhal 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

"They" is usually plural, but "he" and "she" are singular. Some style guides maintain that it is grammatically incorrect to use "they" as a singular pronoun, while others consider it acceptable. Many suggest to restructure the sentence so as to eliminate the problem altogether.

[–]96fps 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

We can talk about an individual and say 'they are' same way one uses the royal plural.

[–]Moiken 6ポイント7ポイント  (3子コメント)

Look it up, it is grammatically correct. Singular and gender neutral. Tom Scott has a great video on it too.

[–]SirChikuwa 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Chill. Both of their comments were.

[–]MystyrNile 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

You said that but then you started a debate

[–]IanPPK 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

At the same time, it's all under my comment, so it's fairly contained. It was moreso regarding future posts.

Edit: Note how the debate is about grammar, not preferred pronouns, I'll consider that a victory.

"I'll share my opinions now, but no one else, okay?"

[–]fexfx 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

And what's with the oxford comma? And can anyone adequately explain the proper determinations for toward vs towards? How do double and triple contractions make you feel?

Language is about expressing a thought in a communicable fashion. Unless the words selected failed to convey that thought in a manner that was understandable, any babble regarding word choicer is pedantic.

[–]IanPPK 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Oxford comma has clearly outlined rules for use (to create a pause, separate ideas, etc.), toward and towards are interchangeable, although if the preceding verb ends in an 's,' I usually use toward ('move towards' vs. 'moves toward', akin to 'he moves' vs. 'they move'). As for double and triple contractions, I don't use them, don't mind them in speech, but would find it embarrassing to find used in formal writing.

I have said in a previous comments that I don't mind people using improper phrasing in normal communications (I do so myself), since most instances are understood. However, if it wouldn't be used in formal or professional writing excepting dialogue, it is technically improper. For instance, slang is commonly understood, but that doesn't make it proper to use.

[–]fexfx 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was more questioning whether or not the oxford comma is "proper". As you surely know, it's been a topic of debate for a long time. Toward and Towards, Forward and Forwards, are actually regionally dialectic in nature, with each coast showing favoritism, and europe in general preferring the extraneous "s". And I probably shoudn't've brought up multiple contractions, but they're one of my favorite ways to torture grammar pedants.

It honestly looks smoother than the vanilla torch lighting. Throw a torch on the ground and you get a nice round lit area with a smooth transition. Then place a torch down, and the lighting seems to have more squared edges and a less gradual transition. This shows best in a large fully dark room.

[–]TheNonMan 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm glad to see it's been improved a lot since I last used it a year or so ago, I'll definitely be testing it out again on my next days off.
