The German dictionary Duden mentions both [External Link] though, three months as well as a third of a school/university year.
I wonder if the later is a missconception maybe stemming from a pregnancy, where the term seems to be used often (at least here), and the duration of three months coincides with a third of the full duration.
And a question, how long does your trimesters take?
*edit* Another find, a trimester at university is supposed to be three months, and you have three of them in the year: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimester_(Studium) [External Link]

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI looked it up at several places, most agree on the "three months" as well as the latin origin.Quoting: soulsourceMy university operates on a trimester system; we have three of them in a year.Quoting: Purple Library GuyI had to look it up (see above), and it's actually 3 months. The "mester" seems to come from "mensis", month.Quoting: BogomipsMaybe trimester would have been easier to understand?Unfortunately it would have been incorrect. A year has three trimesters (hence "tri"), but four quarters.
I'm confused that it needs to be explained but English is not my native language so…

I feel no game ever can live up to what we expect from "Monkey Island". Because we're not 12 anymore.

Quoting: fnordianslipCould do with an English translation. I was surprised to learn that the in game character is actually wearing pants when he gets out of bed and actually needs to find his trousers."Pants" matches alright what I get to see here - stuff you can wear outside without being frowned upon:

Modern game engines are pretty amazing. I don’t know why more people don’t make Linux versions.

Happy you saw this one! I asked for the port and tested it - works flawlessly.
You need to have your expectations set properly for the game: You're not going to save the world. No dragons, no princesses. You just need to grab your pants and get off to work. Cause... what could possibly go wrong?!? ;)
It's a nice little one.
