The game received "average" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[4]
gollark: And I think `as` is a keyword for the sole purpose of `with ... as x`
gollark: I really don't see why `in` and `is` need to be dedicated keywords.
gollark: ``` and as assert async[note 1] await[note 1] break class continue def del elif else except exec[note 2] False[note 3] finally for from global if import in is lambda None nonlocal[note 3] not or pass print[note 2] raise return True[note 3] try while with yield```Oh, and I found this list of keywords here.
gollark: To someone who just wants to parse XML, that makes absolutely no sense.
gollark: ```Structured Markup Processing Tools html — HyperText Markup Language support html.parser — Simple HTML and XHTML parser html.entities — Definitions of HTML general entities XML Processing Modules xml.etree.ElementTree — The ElementTree XML API xml.dom — The Document Object Model API xml.dom.minidom — Minimal DOM implementation xml.dom.pulldom — Support for building partial DOM trees xml.sax — Support for SAX2 parsers xml.sax.handler — Base classes for SAX handlers xml.sax.saxutils — SAX Utilities xml.sax.xmlreader — Interface for XML parsers xml.parsers.expat — Fast XML parsing using Expat```
