Geez, that sounds like an awful playerbase. Do these people have no shame?

Anyway, i don't really care. I can dig fast, small or long, big updates either way. As long as new content is coming in i'm happy.

I think recent pacing of update have been very good. I suspect that these minor weekly patch is not greatly delaying ''big content,'' but it is making game look more actively developed and there is always some new thing to look forward to in near future.

Its not like they would make a patch every week.
Sometimes there is no patch if they prepare for something bigger.
I think weekly patches are good, even though they may be smaller than 4 week patches. There is something to wait for every week.
Game is in alpha, it should be updated often.

I will say, if you disappear for a month or 2 and come back to this game, it's honestly really exciting seeing all the new stuff. Weekly updates are nice and all, but i think there's something to be said for bigger batches of new content.

Though I'm not 100%. Forcing patches every week will lead to some weak ones.
weekly updates are insignificant usually with just filler crap.
id rather see you guys do monthly updates where you tackle the core things you've said you'd do in 2018.
see homo sexuality trending,. do not do that.

Any status update on that then? Nothing new?

I think somewhere inbetween 1 and 4 months is ideal. I'd prefer to see new mechanics and bigger things in updates.
Weekly birds and not balanced salads seem forced, shallow and rather disappointing. Besides, game shouldn't rely on new content to keep players hooked, that just doesn't seem like a healthy tendency to me.

I mean, I agree, but what can I do.

Yeah, yeah, I understand that's a tough one, not blaming you guys.
