gollark: I've seen it loads when demoing things.
gollark: Imagine how your "cool" hover-based UI will look if:- it completely fails to operate on the second-latest CC:T version- it breaks horribly with multiple players using it- it runs slowly because of the mouse_move throttling and/or the server having to process significantly more events- mousing over a button hides important stuff under it (this tends to happen a lot)
gollark: AAAAA PLEASE NO
gollark: Dragging is fine. But NO hovery stuff.
gollark: Please do not use mouse_move or you will condemn us all to an eternity of suffering.
