so the funny thing is, the site where i had it was closing my account and i got a notification hence finding. i downloaded it but i dont intend to upload elsewhere, atleast for now, to show

tldr:

valve gets a lot of its things leaked to the point u cant even keep up with how many leaks have happened. the joke is the new interviewer probably interviewed for those leaks but the dev told about the water leaks

dev text at the bottom:

so its supposed to be a play on how the news probably went to interview the dev to learn about the game leaks of valve being fixed. but the dev had a very different leak to talk about and was happy that someone was there to listen. news however had to turn it into a clickbait thing, as they do, so the headline they wrote (in the meme so i wrote) was misleading. which is a metaphor for news not caring about actual problems in studios and when they have no choice but to mention them they clickbait.

pink cookie:

so the image of the valve developer comes from an interview where they say show their pink cookie that they say is available in the valve canteen. and make a joke that the cookie is very dense and it takes them 3 days to eat a single cookie. so that clip was a slight meme for a while

(bc im lazy ill copied the last two explainations i wrote on previous post)

all of the above plus DVD+R, Betacam, and probably others im forgetting

quick reading through wikipedia gave some context, but nothing specific to why an egg. i think the reasoning is simply that egg is more commonly known than a cocom. which i know somewhat sounds ridiculous but im thinking that based on that egg is a very common food ingredient and commonly seen by most people (sometimes daily)* (*atleast like in developed places i’d assume). while seeing a cocom is gonna be rare to uncommon for most people at least to the scale of eggs.

secondly, with metaphors already existing like ‘coming out of your shell’. an egg would socially make more sense (easier to connect to the metaphors that already exist). so egg cracking -> coming out of your shell would be easier to presume and understand the reference then something unfamiliar or relatively uncommon. that is not to say that the metaphor of caterpillar to a butterfly isn’t common, but egg checks a lot of other ‘common’ checks here, so stastically would be used as the main metaphor more commonly. (though to note im making up what counts as important boxes and statistics here, along with what the stats are according to what i know and not any real data to link; so who knows u know)

thirdly, egg could’ve just been the luckier metaphor

community driven (initially), a mess but still functional compared to “better” version, forever modifyable by the community unlike corporate network. mess to love (so yes what u said)

what killed the internet is information overload. in many way no one can have a private or closed space. twitter for example you are bombarded with everyone’s thought on everything and before long you have a lot of information about things you dont care about, and no way to engage properly with just one of those things. you can be vulnerable on the internet, but in a mostly public and algorithmic internet, its gonna be exposed to so many people who will hate that.
