Yeah, we know. That’s how updates to games work. If it didn’t change forever, it means they had to roll back the update and someone’s getting fired.
Games journalists: stop it with this line. It’s the verbal equivalent of putting your “shocked” face in the Youtube thumbnail.

I was wondering what Twitter had to do with gaming…
Oh right, I forgot that people insist on humoring that change. I feel like if everyone keeps just calling it Twitter, he’ll just quietly change it back.
Regardless, X was used to represent a variable for about a thousand years longer than Musk has been using it, so I will keep using it that way too.

Keep it up. For me, that confusion is part of the entertainment. No one will know what the fuck anyone is talking about when they say “X”, necessitating an overly complex explanation every time. Fuck everything about X.

@MagicShel If everyone says Twitter, then it is less confusing then if some talk about X.

it’s not that I want to think of that loser more than we have to, it’s that i see the title of your post on the feed and for a brief moment i think it’s a headline from a news community. Like @MagicShel@programming.dev said, keep it up.

Could’ve used foo instead of X. Most programmers would get it, I think.
Might not work for everyone here though.

“Well you see games are a form of technology and Twitter uses technology so Twitter news belongs here too”

“Well you see, if you don’t like the rules of the game you just buy out the parent company and change them”

The game is getting all those likes or something

The thought of such a video being fifty minutes long makes me nauseous.

How else will you fit in dozens of ads?

You’ve seen other common denominators which you might have thought were pretty low, but here we unveil truly the lowest common denominator.
We call this “The Full Asmongold”.

But it would be very funny if they went “X is about to change for a little bit and then go back”
That would at least be headline-worthy!

@TwilightVulpine Some games offer time limited events. Maybe you could argue with that?^^
The sooner you stop expecting anything from games journalists, the better off you’ll be.

I also did the same with movie journalists way back. Found their opinions rarely matched mine.
IMDb used to be a much better indicator, but after around 2010 where everyone suddenly started voting it got a lot more diluted.
It had obviously started on that trajectory before, but smartphones really catapulted it ahead.
So it works and is never going away 😮💨

@Stillhart Clickbait works, sadly. So they won’t listen to you.
