Dummy/Dummied/Dummying out

In the context of software and video game development, the term “dummied out” refers to content that is still present in a program’s files or code but has been disabled, hidden, or made inaccessible to the user.

Developers often choose to dummy out content rather than delete it entirely for several practical reasons. First, due to there being a risk of errors, deleting a specific file or piece of code can sometimes cause a domino effect, breaking other parts of the game that were linked to it meaning that its often safer to simply turn it off. Time constraints are the second reason as a feature or character isn’t working correctly right before a deadline, it’s faster to hide it than to properly remove and re-test the entire system. Another reason are regional differences. Sometimes content is removed for specific markets (like certain songs or references) but left in the code to keep the game’s file structure identical across all regions. And lastly future use as developers might leave assets in the code to be reactivated later via a patch or DLC.

Kathryn was very knowledgeable and helpful when choosing an electric bed. She was able to answer all of our questions. They have a huge range of stock and brands! We were looking for a quick turnaround and Dalzells were able to accommodate us within 4 days. Would highly recommend them for a friendly and knowledgeable experience! Will definitely be back!

friendly and helpful staff when you are buying but when there is a problem they are rude and unprofessional no fridge for almost 3 weeks, I rang them to tell them I need a repair within a 2-year warranty they told me I had to contact the manufacturers myself. But when I ring the consumer helpline I was told my contract was with dalziels not the manufacturers when I said this to dalzells they told me that was wrong 18 days after my first call they eventually learnt me a fridge I would not recommend buying from them as they are rude and unprofessional

A huge thank you to delivery driver Nigel, he arrived to deliver 2 fridges and a freezer to our new business not knowing they had to be taken up a flight of awkward stairs, went above and beyond call of duty… Thanks Nigel

I've had a great experience of Dalzells- bought a King Koil mattress recently which was delivered to me in Dublin at a very good price. It is lovely to sleep on! Thanks in particular to Kathryn for answering my many questions. I would happily recommend Dalzells!
