    My guess would be that this is in terms of reactivity and toxicity and the likelyhood that these factors will kill you. Yellow things like lead or lithium won’t necessarily kill you, but they will poison you pretty good. Red elements like potassium and sodium would potentially blow your tongue off due to their reactivity. At the least, they’d likely give you gnarly, severe chemical burns. Licking red stuff like mercury or arsenic will most likely kill you. Purple stuff is either extremely rare, unstable, and/or extremely radioactive. Licking it would cost a fortune in lost materials and likely straight up kill you from radiation poisoning or some sort of other reaction. For instance, francium, you’re definitely dead from radiation poisoning. So

    “please reconsider” = you’re going to die painfully and horribly.

    “you really shouldn’t” = it’s probably going to kill you, and, if you do survive, you probably wouldn’t want to be alive long after anyway.

    “maybe not a good idea” = it might not kill you, but you’re gonna be pretty sick.

    Just give me a notice before I buy, “Warning! This game is in early access and hasn’t been updated in X amount of time. It may be abandoned.”

    If they’re going to do anything else, block sales to the game after a certain period of inactivity and notify the dev to either update the game, delist, or make the game free.

    That way the game isn’t lost to time, people aren’t getting scammed, and it places some accountability on the dev if they want to continue their project.


  • No.

    The poop deck is named after the French “poupe,” or stern. It comes from the Latin “puppis,” which also means the stern of a ship. It’s used as an observation deck by commanding officers to see that the crew on the lower decks are doing their jobs.
