Question About Order of Installation & Patching
Jeeves:
Should someone that can't spell "per se" properly really be going around calling people "smart-arses" and "too retarded"?
OpiumGirl:
I'm glad you asked that. My answer happens to be, yes, yes they should. Why, you ask?
Well, this is why, my friend, Jeeves.
Per se is a perfectly acceptable way of spelling it. Spoken by the people in the Urban Dictionary. :D While it may not be your definition of *correct*, it is still perfectly acceptable. I will still be loved if I use it out in general public, even if you, Jeeves, do not appreciate or love me for it. ::)

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=per%20se
Latin borrowing meaning "in and of itself", used in certain fairly specific, idiomatic contexts in casual English. Is typically used with a negative to indicate that a term being used is understood to be imprecise or off-the-mark (i.e., not accurate 'per se') in a case where the term is nevertheless useful to an explanation. Usually followed by an explanation or justification for the use of the term indicated. It is as well sometimes used preceding a term indicated, especially in more formal (e.g., legal) usage. In these contexts, usually used in the positive to reinforce a characterisation as fundamentally being the case (i.e., 'per se' accurate).
"It's not that I consider it a 'joke' per se. It's just that I don't think it takes the subject quite seriously enough, under the circumstances."
Now that we've got that out of the way, is there anyone who might be interested in saying something a bit more..... helpful? I have learned that I am retarded, along with another friend who happened to share my disability quite equally, here on this forum.
Though it is not in my nature to be unkind, I happen to have no issue giving back any sh*t that is slung in my direction. Once it's slung, it's fair game, and so are you. Plus, I don't take it personally and even enjoy a good bout of banter. ::)
Anyway, I'd still love some information. Perhaps we can mix a little useful information into our commentary? What say you? What say we? Per se, smart-arse and so forth? Amen?

Is this the beginning of some bizarre love triangle?
OpiumGirl:
Two retards and a very good speller/spellie/spelter? Sounds a bit.. smutty and obscene.
I'm in.

Here's a bit of info I found while searching around for answers.

I wonder if anyone can verify that the patches in between are crucial, or if the patches are already included in the newer expansions. If I remember correctly, with TS2 the patches would be included in the newer ones most times.
I also wonder if these steps are more important because they are cracked games, or would they be the same for the retail versions?
I've already begun the process of installing, so I'll find out soon enough, but I'm still curious as to what you guys think since I have no idea how much that guy *really* knows outside of the whole torrent and crack process, though he does mention MATY a couple times in the article and certainly does sound like he knows what he's talking about in ways. Perhaps one needs to be more careful and specific when using those. I don't know. It's obvious that English is not this guy's native tongue, so don't be too hard on him. :) I deserve it, but he doesn't, heh.
If I installed all the games, one after another ending with the most recent (which happens to be Fast Lane Stuff, if I'm not mistaken), and didn't open the game once until the Fast Lane Stuff was installed, would I be safe just ending with that and then patching it (if there even is a patch for that yet)? Would all of the patches be included as each addon was installed?
I know somebody knows what they're talking about where this is concerned. I've seen enough knowledge in this place to write an Encyclopaedia Sims.
I'll wait it out until that special someone comes along, and whistle a happy tune.

Urban Dictionary isn't a real dictionary. It's the creation of a bunch of illiterate 12s who wanted to justify their poor vocabulary and spelling skills by creating a comprehensive "dictionary" of stupidity and slang.
