    I mean MS would have to shell out bookoo bucks for this to come to GamePass anytime soon. Probably a year or two down the line. Regardless Larian isn’t going to say they’re putting it on GP as it would slow down sales on the platform during the holidays.

        “Bookoo”, derived from the French Bucchane, for smoked meat; this is also the origin of the word “buccaneer”, as they generally live in it while at sea.

          No, it’s a French weird, beaucoup, that has made its way to English vernacular. For example, “merci beaucoup” means “thanks a lot.”

          Either the OP doesn’t know that, or didn’t bother actually looking up the spelling.

            Huh. Well yeah I never knew that either, growing up in the South that was a pretty common saying with a similar spelling to how I wrote it originally(being the south the misspelling makes total sense now haha). Nice to know where it comes from though. Thanks for the info!
