You should dash off a few letters to game designers and tell them to stop writing such efficient code.

It's pretty easy to have outrageous loading times. Just run the game off any shitty mechanical drive.

Fuck yeah! Also, do you enjoy keygen music as well?

I do enjoy tracker music (aka chiptunes aka keygen music) and I may try my hand at actually composing a tracker song someday.

Sometimes with games that show hints on load screens I have the problem where I can't read them before the game finishes loading. It feels like I'm missing out on information.

Loading screen hints are usually about as useful as "Press A to jump". You're not missing much.

Unless it's lore or background information, then yeah I agree with you.

Some games have a bit more than that, but you're right.

I was a bit off topic, but you took it to a new level.
Tune into Radio Maribor for the latest news, could be interesting. My folks just stood up against corruption, public disobedience and protests across cities of Slovenia. So far only injured tho, no dead.

But shit would you know, you wouldn't leave the couch if your life depended on it.
