The 'Et tu Connor' quip - what is the context?

Featured Replies

Damned if I know.

Edited by ErichB

No idea where you saw this but "Et tu Brute?" is from William Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar

and is directed at Caesar's friend Brutus who is among those who are stabbing him to death.

It means that even his friend has gone against him and "Et tu Brute?" expresses surprise and dismay at

the treachery of someone who he thought was his friend.

The best English translation from the Latin is "Even you Brutus?" or literally "and you Brutus?".

Does that fit the context where you read it?

It's on the latest update page.

 

Brutus was Ceasar's son. Maybe it was from "Are you Sarah Connor" from Terminator. But frankly I think the only goal was to keep us busy.

But how does it relate to the update.  We may as well pull this apart,

Maybe with all our interpretations, someone will sort it out...

I think the team will enjoy seeing us trying to figure it out, we won't, end of story 🙂

Sorry, I didn't read it.

I find the style and language to be verbose at least and profoundly irritating.

We’re also delivering an updated DR outlining our October deliverables. Insiders should expect a DR update within the next few weeks that will provide a preview of our November deliverables.

A note on deliverables – we’re moving the Feedback Pipeline overview deliverable to our next post coming early October. This will allow us to allocate more update space to this deliverable to provide greater detail.

Finally, as we bring September to a close the entire team would like to thank everyone out there patiently waiting for more granular information on the next iteration of Microsoft Flight Simulator. The information you seek, is much closer than you think.

 

 

It just means "wait and see" or perhaps "tell you later".

I wonder if it’s some sort of french thing that no one else is aware of. Or something that’s been said on some other forum somewhere.

maybe Connor was the person supposed to have four preview videos ready.

There's always a sunset happening somewhere in the world that somebody is enjoying.

No they apologised for the slightly misleading way they described those videos on twitter. I don’t use Twitter, but if anyone has an account - ask them who Connor is!

I'm just pleased that we are going to get deliveries of deliverables delivered. 

Thank you.

It's probably an inside joke...but I do love the humour in all the updates. Just so surprisingly refreshing (aside from the fact that the sim looks mind-blowing...)
