You’ll never get the next release stabilized if you keep shoveling electric hulks and dildos into the build. This is what the milestone page for 0.B looks like

I think it looks more like [this](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3A0.B). You’re free to help knock those down, same as anyone else is.

I know I stopped producing output for a hella long time in front of 0.A, based on thinking there was a freeze. I prefer greater productivity, personally.

Haha I kinda have to agree. So much has been added that I find myself always playing experimental builds now. Would be awesome to see a new stable one released.

if you think ordering us around is going to get you what you want, you haven’t been paying attention.  
Also -1 for trying to make a point with an animated gif.

Someone said this before, but I’ll say it one more: It’s ready when it’s ready.

Consider the fast development pace of CDDA, a suitable time to chuck out the Stable[sup]tm[/sup] release is hard to come by as new PRs appear everyday. So let’s all be patient and it’ll come around eventually.

The reason stable releases exist is self-evident. They’re meant to be stable. It’s fine and dandy to keep playing experimental, but those builds are not guaranteed to include balance and bug fixes.

I myself am waiting for the next stable release, because I want to play Cataclysm with a bunch of new features knowing that I won’t run into some kind of issue that’s not meant to be there.

Just like that, N’hawk. That’s exactly how I play with my \_show\_images opt in my browser - slowly.  
And only when needed; it’s a 64k one. :))
