Nothing meaningful to say, just wanted to post a nostalgic loading bar.

That was my second guess.

This is a joke: Fun thing: players don’t trust a smooth loading bar. The stutters and pauses show you that the load is ‘biting’. I’ve worked on games where we artificially faked it.

Article: the above is not a joke

I don't remember the last time I saw a big ol' loading bar, honestly. Maybe a small one in steam?

SSDs have made it a rarity for me.
