to everyone going to gdq this weekend, remember: they call it pittsburg because of all the floor traps everywhere. if you fall into one, the locals will gather around the edge and say "haha, holebie, fell in the dang hole". why has this been allowed to continue for years? nobody can say. stay safe

There are a hundred reasons why a dev might choose to this kind of thing. I usually do it to give the player a bit of breathing room so they can digest a bit of important information at their own pace. It’s one of the few ways in which you can control the pacing.

I dunno man the concept of actually owning something you pay for must be like a drug if you're under 30

In Diddy Kong Racing DS, the message when connection is lost during Download Play is "LOST ALL CHILDREN". The cartridge is internally called a "parent" and the downloaded instances its "children". While this would make sense to the developers, it has the potential to confuse or scare players.

Love Discord being like "bro you didnt complete any quests this year" yeah man I dont know what those are and I'm working really hard not to have to learn

I don't see what the big deal is.
