Oh, there's still plenty of masturbatory speech in the readme (readmes, actually, because there's a .rar that comes with the hack that you're not supposed to get into until after you've beaten the hack that goes over spoilers and hidden changes, except the password is the same as it's always been and is remarkably easy to guess when you realize one of the devs is a MLP fan). Most of it's not "git gud", but it sneaks in there now and then.
Some excerpts, since the wounds are still fresh. From the main readme:
"The first is that, due to bad coding/poor life choices[...]" "[...]also fix some bugs it had so that it feels a lot more like a proper ability instead of a broken mess." "[...]if you're the type of player that just mashes "A" to win, then Brave New World is not for you." "[...] because whoever coded this nightmare was on crack." "*There's actually an exception (Dice) since FF6 was coded by monkeys" "*This game was programmed by monkeys, I swear" "Others [...] were fucking retarded and were thrown in the trash where they belong." "We thought it stupid that a cheap and freely-available item was functionally identical to a resource-consuming spell[...]" "[...]this game's tangled mess of spaghetti code[...]
And from the locked/spoiler readme:
"[...]as part of our ongoing effort to remove hidden bullshit that really shouldn't have been hidden in the first place (people had a lot more free time on their hands back in the 90's)." "An even MORE questionable design choice than the above was giving the player a magicite containing one of the baddest asses ever, only to have it immediately replaced with Hideo Kojima's biggest mistake." "[...] the last thing we want to do is make the player feel like they need to drag Locke's vagrant ass along with them wherever they go[...]" "For the curious and/or bored[...]" "[...] but a cursory glance at the original code suggests that little, if any of that fucking mess was intentional." "(warning: they're a goddamn mess)" "[...]which I could very easily fix just by [...] but I honestly really don't give enough of a shit."
....I think some of those are enlightening even without context.
