Fucking patent abuse is the worst thing about the tech industry.

I dunno why it was so much fun. And I always expected something to happen if I hit it enough.

discord was a mistake

>>387088765
MGSV actually solved this by having you hit a button to leave the loading screen once the game was ready to be played, although it probably caused me to stare at the loading screens for a lot longer than I should have.
