pre-apocalyptic vs post-apocalyptic is a better distinguisher?

Hehe, personally that seems more confusing. With "inhabited" at least there is something specific to look for (people). Judging if something is pre or post apocalyptic, while allowing abandoned stuff to be pre-apocalyptic, feels more difficult.

I think I will try to focus on the other explanation you gave me:

most likely if the buildings were built from scratch for their current function, it fits here, whereas if they’re scratch-built from old vehicle carcasses or whatever, they’d fit better in wastelands.

It would have worked with this post.

sorry :(

yeah that's fair, that's why i do accept it's conjecture. i just go by the kind of "feeling" of the piece, but i know that isn't exactly something you can use


i've also just noticed i used "built from scratch" and "scratch-built" as opposites in that comment, which i imagine also isn't hugely helpful..

sorry :(

Don't worry at all. Understanding the difference between genres is part of the fun :).

Oh... I didn't notice. Now I'm not sure I understood it correctly. What I though you meant is:

Did I got it correctly?

yeah you did, don't worry

it was just a small semantic feature i happened to notice. i'm impressed you managed to get my meaning even though i apparently used the wrong phrase, though [edit: or possibly i didn't, i guess]

I am not a native speaker, so I tend to interpret things... sometimes even correctly :D.

Thanks for the explanations!
