/vr/ humor

Grab any shareware CD from the 90s, extract any random game and you'll not only find some cute jokey readme from the programmers you'll likely see some additional cute shit that's been patched in automatically by some BBS along the way. Everybody was joking around with everybody else. Things were a lot simpler back then.

not sure I get it desu, I kind of get the joke is about how you could just put more files on there, but is it something about floppies? Maybe all floppy format sizes are multiples of 360kb, so there's no reason they couldn't divide more of them across fewer, larger disks unless they just wanted to use more disks for some reason? I guess that's the other thing, did distributors purposely move games across more disks than was needed, and if so, why would they do so? It seems like you could use the "more disks=more shipping cost" argument to unfairly jack up your price, but ultimately I feel like that wouldn't work since other distributors would just move it on less disks at lower price.

Sorry to turn a dev humor thread into a big deconstruction of humor, I guess I'm just missing a crucial point of context to understanding the joke here.

Cutsey joke posts become the most annoying thing in the world when you have a problem with your game.

More disks = more valuable and "bigger" product to charge faggit retailers and end users.
