Embark with Mirthful, or according to Google, "Gay" Surroundings?
« on: February 16, 2012, 12:22:49 pm »
I was browsing through embark spots on a large world. I noticed one which I thought may be fine, and I say the surroundings which were "Mirthful". Google says that means it is "Gay", or, "Happy" in other words.

Is this new in 0.34?

I think mirthful is... good alignment/neutral savagery?

one thing people tend to forget, gay did not always mean homo, try looking up the definition of gay and you'll see what i mean.

Isn't that made obvious when I mention that "Happy" in other words?

The juxtaposition with "mirthful" makes that fairly obvious here, I think. Certainly nobody claimed to think otherwise.
