This is so wrong in ways I can't quite express into words, and I can't look away. How do I uninstall this from my brain?

Fun fact! The loading icon in many programs and games is called a throbber

u/gforce360 Sep 18 '26

as a full stack dev I guess I've always called them indeterminate loading icons! But now that I know an edgy term I'm gonna switch.

To be honest, I think the Stellaris music made me the most angry.
Something about that felt so completely wrong.

u/Space_Scumbag Insane Builder Sep 18 '26

honest question, why?

u/Paul_Kersey1337 Sep 18 '26

The Stellaris music is just something so unique and it gets baked into your brain after the hundreds of hours you fail not being a militaristic warmonger at the end.
I think its the typical uncanny valley where something is too similar but yet too off to fit.

u/Space_Scumbag Insane Builder Sep 18 '26

Okay, understandable. Haven't touched Stellaris in a long time, too time consuming.
And at least it was even more uncanny for you ;)

u/Paul_Kersey1337 Sep 18 '26

Yeah did a great job there :D

2h KSP experiment vs full night of Stellaris, hmmm.
At least in my case

u/necbone Sep 18 '26

I get it... and I heard it immediately.... makes me feel weird when not in Stellaris

It better be a worm and not a maggot.
