Twitter screenshots have always been confusing to me. I rarely understand who is talking to who.

I can usually make sense of that eventually. What grinds my gears is when people crop out the date. Was this written today? Last week? Last year? Couldn't tell ya.

that game just came out so it's relatively recent. I hate the date obfuscation too.

I know. Many of these twitter-like posts omit the dates. Topical things are easy to discern the date of. Others, however, are less obvious. So when the dates are removed, it makes things very annoying.
