They don't. Stuff like "This bad boy runs so much better now." and "For when you can't even alt-tab fast enough to abandon ship." (taken from changelog). This is just additional shit you need to parse with no additional information received. Similar to Microsoft and their Windows Installer "We'll setup a few things for you", which is equally stupid.
People™ usually include much more swear words and other non political correct terms (or memes). When a company does that, it always feels forced.
- syntheticcdo 8y agoMaybe it would seem forced for say, McDonalds, but it is on-brand communication for Discord. They are all about "made by gamers for gamers"-- maybe you use Discord in a different way than me, but there are multiple servers in my list that are just straight memes.
- gsich 8y agoIt's not. Those lines are not "memey" in any way but straight cringeworthy. Like memes for 12-year-olds. "gamer" language is more like stuff you read on 4chan, where most memes originate.
- dcow 8y agoConstructing additional pylons... is cringeworthy? I mean maybe get a faster machine if you are staring at loading screens for more than 800ms XD (I joke). Sure there are some silly ones, but also 12-year-olds use discord too.
- gsich 8y agoI wasn't explicitly talking about the loading screen.
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoIt doesn't bother me that much, personally, but the way they shoehorn some sort of faux-casual wordplay into every single bullet point does push it a bit into "how do you do, fellow kids" territory.
