@Craigp@mastodon.social Recently I had someone on discord refusing to click a link to tutorial, just because of the name (ONLY the name) of the website: deviant art.

@Wildragon@mastodon.art Damn this is for sure the most devastating blow to old namings of places. Lucky they didn't change it anyways. I still cite things as "from Gamasutra" cuz their new name is so nothing that I can't remember any time compared to that stupid nothing joke that kinda made sense as it was a place to talk about "ways to make games". It was also hella fun to reference for school works and having to say "yes that's the official name. And they're more professional than us, go figure"
