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.

      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.

        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 @[email protected] 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”

      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.
