Talk about RETARDED.

[Goose]

teehee we all got injured, instead of healing each other all 7 of us will go lie down in our beds and die slowly ^_^

[Doomdrvk]

That specifically has to do with the way you have your priorities setup. Patient should always be 1 unless its your doctor then you set it to 2 and their doctoring to 1.

[Xeno42]

set the doctoring priority to be higher than the patient/bedrest priority. problem solved

[Narrowmind]

If you don't want them to seem retarded, then maybe their instructions shouldn't be retarded..

[Minty Fresh]

Do we need to use that word?

The R-word has been associated with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities since its inception, so when you use the word in a negative context, you’re putting down people with intellectual disabilities, regardless of if you mean to or not.

Can we use more inclusive words? We've all been stupid at some point, how about just saying the pawns are stupid?

[Narrowmind]

For one thing, because the pawns aren't retarded. They're just following instructions. And there was a time when stupid did refer to people with intellectual disabilities. They mean the same thing. Someone who is slow to get it.

but it isnt the current connotations

regardless. op was mostly baiting or more likely just needed to vent their frustration with getting a grip on game mechanics.proper responses have been given to help so lets wrap this up and not have this spiral into lockable territory

Your pawns will always follow orders no matter the situation or danger, hence why they tend to clean your killbox while under heavy fire or dumping corpses when there are piles of living enemies nearby.

There are mods on the Workshop that configure the priority system to make them do what you want, getting up in the middle of the night to treat a patient with a life threatening injury for example.

Oh i think i had that on my game. Forgot to pause it when i left pc and reading what happened a squirrel and boar managed to kill my survivors with blood loss. Own fault for leaving game unpaused

[wawawiwa]

The original meaning of the word is "to be held back" and "to be hindered".

The pawns are being retarded by OP's poor management.

Accurate; but it´s not how the word is used in the contemporary setting which we preside in.
Unless you´re actually a time-traveller from the era in which the word was a medical term, you are expected to know how a word is used right now.

[Narrowmind]

But it doesn't matter how the word is used right now. The treadmill means no word will ever suffice for some people we know, that will remain nameless.

You're not putting them down by calling them retarded anymore than you are by saying they're "intellectually disabled", it litterally has the same meaning. The context will have to be negative at some point if you're talking about handicap.

How is calling someone "stupid" nicer than calling someone "retarded"?

Is this for real?

Because the notion of cognitive privilege (smart people undeservedly having it better than stupid people) hasn't taken off. Yet. But with various terms like "neurodiversity", we're getting there.
