The meaning of Redux (Redux)

Moved from the carrier dock thread

What exactly is meant when something is termed "Redux". Zieman, you renamed a couple of things in this ship with "Redux" in the title. What did you mean by that? Just curious.

I see. So it's a swipe at my sloppy ship building, then. Thanks. Good to know where I stand.

'Redux' is also used to mean 'I liked that so much, I want to adapt it to be perfect for my taste'. It means something is so good, it can be used as a basis for something even better. Wikipedia link.

Be flattered and happy that someone chooses to adapt your work.

If you have a look in the default textures folder you will also find many of these have 'redux' in their names.

In this context, it's absolutely not demeaning... it's just a synonym to "revamp".

LOL!!!

Man, was I in a crappy mood, or what. Just had knee replacement surgery, and on top of that I get to have a cold as well. Sheesh, what a bad reaction to a simple explanation. Thanks for setting me straight. Now I'll just limp on back to bed.......

You know, I remember asking the question, but almost don't remember that reply I made. I think I was on a combo of pain killers, and muscle relaxants when I made the reply. Kind of like answering a question when one is drunk. Still no excuse, and I apologise for my rudeness.

I know precisely what you mean, I was like that for two days after the surgery. Even now, I find it somewhat hard to concentrate - it's rather irksome when I'm trying to code and forget what I was doing in the middle of a thought.

I can barely wait to get off the medication...

I'm with you. The sooner I can get off of these meds, the better, and doing away with the crutches would help some, too.

Hey, now! I'm almost always drunk and I'm not . . . oh. Err, sorry.

This whole sequence since you asked about "redux" deserves to be snipped to its own thread in Outworld...
