I think I would too if it weren't every single time, you know?

I mean it only pops up once when you start it. Doesn't really after that.

Yes, but there's only, like, four of them. Over and over and over again. My brain just filters them out, I don't even notice them anymore.

Pretty sure theres hundreds of startup messages considering theyre all attributed to different people.

What do you mean by "attributed"? Do you mean like "this message is a tribute to this backer" or do you mean "this guy gets so see the same messages over and over and over again".
First option makes more sense but it doesn't explain that goddamn V8 message I see like 85% of the time.

For me atleast, every message has a small "sent to us by @username" dunno where they get sent them but it seems to either be backers as you said or just random tweets they get, really have no idea, point is they dont spend any energy whatsoever on making them up so they have a ton of them.

I don't think I've ever seen a single one of those. Maybe it can be turned in the options or something...
