I choose to take offense by the non-inclusive policy here!

Post by MBaas »

From yesterday's release notes:
- The Klingon language files are no longer updated. Not a single Klingon has
ever thanked me for this extra work. That's how they are, I know. Now is
the time for them to see who they are dealing with.
I would like to express my woke concerns about such an excluding policy! This is not the time and age to exclude anyone, let alone the Klingons. And what a lame excuse is offered to us? "Not a single Klingon has ever thanked me" - c'me on, get over it! When have Klingons ever thanked anyone - or why should they?
In the interest of planetary inclusion & galactic peace and harmony I beseech you: think again about this decision!

Hmm, the official Klingon->EN translator suggests this:
Lieutenant's breakfast reactor to the bastard of the Breakfast Refuge of The Waters, let almost all the leave of the oxygen leaders. The factions measure the frequency of frequency to the swim of the bar's scales of prey on the rough of broad !!!
I'm not sure that is correct. But since it came with the help of the Klingonian Language Institute, I trust it. So we need someone to interpret the message of mighty Don...

That was a quote from an email I got from some unhappy individual from outer space. No idea what it exactly means, but it's probably a threat, and I generally do not respond to threats. I just hope I don't start the next intergalactic war here.

Of course he's an unhappy individual - they don't have XYplorer in outer space!

But knowing that...it seems even more tragic to stop support for Klingon...
