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.

        Could’ve used foo instead of X. Most programmers would get it, I think.

        Might not work for everyone here though.
