By the way... for future reference... it's "en lieu" not "in lieu".	Posted by Shagsbeard#3964 on May 13, 2021, 9:03:46 AM Quote this Post

That's silly... they even acknowledge that it's a French phase. You should either use "instead" or "en lieu". Don't mix them up. Last edited by Shagsbeard#3964 on May 13, 2021, 1:22:55 PM	Posted by Shagsbeard#3964 on May 13, 2021, 1:22:00 PM Quote this Post

Languages are not logical, they grow. It probably was "en lieu" at some time, but people changed it. They also say "beef" instead of "bœuf" these days in English speaking countries. And "per say" instead of "per se", although I'm not sure if any respectable dictionary has it.

" Mikrotherion wrote: The problem many people have with the mouse cursor mtx is that the default cursor is hard to see in all the stuff that is going on on-screen. You could categorize that as a UI bug - which needs a fix. People have resorted to using 3rd party tools (yolomouse and somewhere here there's a thread about an alternative for Linux) to get a visible cursor, because GGG wouldn't fix the issue. Now GGG does provide this fix - in the form of a paid MTX. However, they also DID kinda fix it, because you get on "High contrast cursor" for free (check your cosmetics tab). In my opinion, though, it is only a bit larger than the default cursor and not at all high contrast... or rather, it doesn't really show up better against the background. Frankly, I was surprised and delighted to discover that I finally had a FREE cursor option that will make it harder to lose the damn thing in all the screen spam. People bitching about the cursor MTXs just want something to complain about. They don't feel alive if they'r not unhappy.

" Shagsbeard wrote: By the way... for future reference... it's "en lieu" not "in lieu". Huh. I've always used "in lieu" as an Anglicized idiom, not as a French term. =0[.]o= =^[.]^= basic (happy/amused) cheetahmoticon: Whiskers/eye/tear-streak/nose/tear-streak/eye/ whiskers =@[.]@= boggled / =>[.]<= annoyed or angry / ='[.]'= concerned / =0[.]o= confuzzled / =-[.]-= sad or sleepy / =[.]= dazzled / =^[.]~= wink / =~[.]^= naughty wink / =9[.]9= rolleyes #FourYearLie	Posted by Raycheetah#7060 on May 14, 2021, 2:55:24 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

It may be stupid, but "in lieu" seems to be the correct spelling by today's standards, going quite a few years back. Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

The whole purpose of using "en lieu" is to sound pretentious. You should use the French spelling. It makes you that much more pretentious when you do.	Posted by Shagsbeard#3964 on May 14, 2021, 5:13:14 PM Quote this Post
I dont see why ppl are down on this monetization scheme. It's not like unethical like gamble your points away mystery boxes. I've never thought about getting a new cursor so I think it's pretty cool. Git R Dun!	Posted by Aim_Deep#3474 on May 15, 2021, 4:45:45 AM Quote this Post
