dev comments are too ironic this year

too many developers are using the opportunity to be funny, or irony poisoned, and are using the developer comments to basically post on the internet. it's literally like i'm reading tweets on the loading screen. one of them is like "real gamers know how to pronounce coup de grace". another one is like "did you see the bug where alucard was riding a rainbow capybara while in chase with the trapper?".

i want to illustrate why this is boring by highlighting a really wonderful developer comment. it's a lovely story, with a lovely mental image, and it completely changes how i look at a piece of dead by daylight. it's the story of how snug's pawprints were created using the pawprints of a developer's real-life dog, a border collie named Taro. for the rest of my life, i'm going to be thinking about Taro, this developer's border collie, and how her pawprints are leaving their mark all over the entity's realm, and will be leaving her marks forever, long after she's gone.

i am not going to be thinking about weird posts about alucard riding a capybara.

i understand that this is a space where the developers can say whatever they want, and by all means, feel free to say whatever you want. but there's just a little too irony poisoning. too much detached internet posting for my tastes. i really feel like i am just reading tweets, and they're not even curated tweets about dbd from the internet, they're more like dbd-themed tweets from the developers.

i wish you were using this space to tell me more heartfelt factoids that change the way i think about a small piece of the game. the little sliver of love and soul that went into every stitch along the seam that holds this game together. i know it's scary being genuine online, but Taro's story really touched me. i hope more of you have the confidence to do the same next year.

thanks.
