Oh, that was also surely a 'fun' bit to translate to a Russian dub of the movie. (In Russian, the word is spelled and vocalized with an I.)

Funny thing is: if you're playing on the original hardware without owning it in its prime time, curiousity is the only thing which feeds your urge to play with remastered visuals. ("Gee, it's nice to see such a pretty picture on a 19-year-old hardware.")

Мне кажется, — но точно не скажу, потому что в какой-то момент перестал фиксировать, — что в WordGrinder все так же, но поломаны _не все_ шорткаты, и это, наверное, даже хуже.

То чувство, когда у разработчиков есть тонна консольных редакторов на любой вкус и цвет, а у тех, кто пишет слова и предложения, — один WordGrinder и то чудом. (Варианты им. Дж. Дж. Р. Мартина не предлагать, мне б нормальную поддержку кириллицы.)
