So, #HAFO is coming to steam (eventually)
But unsure if I should call it...

* H.A.F.O.
* HAFO.: Horse Around, Find Out
* Horse Around, Find Out

I feel one of the first two but unsure...thoughts?

Tortured is a little strong so maybe I'll rethink them but tbh...the game is dumb and so must be the puns!

Ok, enough menu horseshit, it's time to get and make sure these game settings work! Hopefully I can get them done before the 18th! (really before the 17th if I'm being realistic)

movie idea that'll never happen but I'd watch...
Kpop Demon Hunters but the demon hunters is the band

Kylmaxx and it's a bloody 80s action style romp instead of a 3d animated feature.

That Yamamoto Kanzai sweater is going to be covered in blood.

I have the dumbest idea for HAFO that if I can pull it off...I'll laugh...and that's about it...

Torn on this tbh cause I sort of have been in the op's screenshotted opinion more so lately, as someone who was a severe hater for a long time, but a lot of the time the hate was just immature-sounding, subjective not-for-meisms and rarely any sort of objective good/bad.

Did some more #HAFO menu work; colors aren't final, but simple graphic to showcase / give a little flavor to main menu choices.
