[s0] A brief unbalanced rant about game demos

Dear developers in Steam Next Fest: “where's my basic graphics options” is by far the top reason for me to feel angry and frustrated when I try your demo.

“Long ago…” Get me out of full screen.

“Blah blah blah, music, dialogue…” Get me out of full screen.

“Next, press…” Get me the fuck out of full screen you nitwits. I can't fucking see anything else that I was trying to see. Shut up right now and get me out of full screen before drawing one more single frame.

The special hell award goes to “after you finally get to toggle the option, if you go back to the title screen without saving so that you can restart the story intro not in full screen, it also doesn't save the setting and immediately puts itself back in full screen”.

*wobbl*
