    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    Patrons were never in "the main doc" in the first place. The first interactive was never official and its inclusion of patrons was always a sticking point. IIRC Chibi-Reaper stories that seem to use WC are mostly actually CFE in practice, though I haven't bothered to read one in... perhaps ever.

    Probably just linguistic corruption. Actually looking at the tag, most of its entries are also tagged with the specific CYOA used, and it's not always WC. I would merge it into "r34 economy".

    Slut Life is an unrelated CYOA from several years before Waifu Catalog was ever imagined as a thing. Rule 34 economy is the umbrella concept of a waifu picker CYOA. Waifu Catalog is a specific CYOA from the initial wave of waifu pickers that steadily grew into its own thing. Company Fucks...

    They don't actually have the coding for implied tags, unfortunately. But yes.

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    "Rule 34 Economy" as a parent tag to "Waifu Catalog" is viable, because WC grew directly out of that initial scene. I was there, as you might be able to guess. But several individual fics that were actually WC were only tagged as "R34 Economy" (or related) and not "Waifu Catalog" (which they...

    A lot of "r34 cyoa" "r34 economy" "economy cyoa" etc. from Q1 and Q2 2020 will need to be merged into "waifu catalog" but that does not apply to the entire tag. Those were the early days, when there just wasn't a generally-agreed-upon tag in use for WC.

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    Ideally, MGE would have two tags, one for fics that at least give lip service to the canon material's tone, and one for the grimdark western fanon. But even on QQ, even in the series's ideas thread which IIRC was created specifically to try to create some separation and cut down on this, the...

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    "company fucks everyone" and its associates (inspired, passingly related, etc.) are not Waifu Catalog, despite its proponents' insistence that they're the only Waifu Catalog, and should not be merged into it. Don't forget House of the Dead, or (eventually, soon enough) Highschool of the Dragon.

    Is it just the Restoration of Erathia story arc, or does it have the Armageddon's Blade, Shadow of Death, and Chronicles arcs too? "RoE only" is why I never bothered with the Steam version of original HoMM3.

    Yeah, the US didn't become the naval power until... really WW2. The US Navy started to really come into its own during/shortly after WW1, but the Royal Navy was still on top at the time.

    Endfield has factory gameplay as well as the standard Genshin-WuWa style of action-adventure. That alone should make the materials grind much more tolerable.

    Video Games General

    It looks like they actually added new issues by overcompensating. The difficulty is very low, partially because of how all movement tech is available from the start (which also makes the game much shorter bc less backtracking), and the note-door equivalents weren't adjusted to account for the...

    I mean... that's actual war. But in the context of a videogame, yeah, it's bullshit.

    Dyson Sphere Program is third-person, but the map size is technically limited. (And the spherical nature of each planet means that space is an issue on the small scale.)
