The worst thing about the pre-internet era was probably the inability to upgrade, if there were any patches for your game. And most of these patches featured some very nice and desirable bug fixes... but no, you can't have them, unless you could find them from alternative sources (some software magazine CD's included patches for current games, which was useful).

How much things have changed - nowadays, this sort of false advertising would create a real storm of angry fans. This is what happened to the much-hyped No Man's Sky - didn't live up to the grossly exaggerated pre-release expectations and people hated it. With a passion.

I remember seeing some books that used a lazier method of fixing their mistakes - they simply included a small slip of paper that says something along the lines of "text X on page Y should actually be read as Z". So when you reach the mistake, you consult the little slip and say "Oh, so Enforcers don't say "Halt" and "Stop", they actually say "Stop" and "Halt". Good to know!"

Worry not - we'll just figure these things out on the go. "Improvise, adapt, overcome," as they say...

In other news, I finally got a much-needed haircut and now the summer heat should be more bearable. I literally got a load off my head :P
