No, you substitute to give information. That is the entire reason. It isn't to avoid reptitiveness like this entire thread seems to think.
Eighteen year old Sebatian Shore enters the room. The engineer takes out his tools, tinkering with his new project until-- "Mr. Shore, your first meeting has arrived."
In two sentences you know the character's age, their job, and that they are most likely a high level business man since he has an assistant. Writing techniques are NEVER just for avoiding repetitiveness because being clear is always the best way to go.
And actually plenty of people use the subtitution technique depending on the genre. But you tend to see it most in newspapers because you have to say a lot within a strict word count. You won't notice published author's doing substitution much because they have the page space to develop the story.
Unless you want super long tags or you're trying to hide something about your character including something about then that can be noticed in their actions is good writing. You read it everyday. Published authors are just sneakier about it.
every response just makes this game look wankier and wankier and i'm glad because the kind of people who've responded deserve to have their hopes go up in a dumpster fire. better games have sunk for worse reasons (i'd talk about the period game that sunk just a few months ago, but I don't to lose you with "outdated references")
which is funny because this game is outdated, it's literally a throwback to 2013 when people still cared about flight rising and games were populous enough that a stupid little one like this would still have a place. now it's got about as much chance of succeeding as the legion, which in case you haven't noticed is struggling pretty hard (or is a game that launched six months ago also too outdated for your goldfish memory?)
but by all means, keep sperging. i love nothing more than to see a game collapse under its own wank before it even opens
or it won't even make it to opening day or it'll open and close in the same month
i'm predicting the latter scenario personally, the mods seem determined enough in their obnoxious autistic way to force the game open even under a cloud of wank but i can't see anyone enjoying playing with them for long
nah certain games just deserve to be sunk in harbor and this one is definitely one of them, any wank that might arise from it opening successfully wouldn't be worth the inevitable smugness of the mods
better for it to die like sunset resort and be a warning against mod hubris
yeah but sadly for you no one is wanking on it for "just existing"
we're wanking on it for all the problem players in the wings, the thick-skulled mods who think chimping out here will solve their problems and the premise in general which just seems like a throwback to an earlier time in dwrp that doesn't have much chance of flying today
