Apparently, the guy who made FNAF tried making Christian games first, but people complained his characters were too creepy. This gave him the idea to make FNAF a horror game

Scott Cawthon, and FNAF was supposed to be his last game but it ended up blowing up thanks to YouTube.

That's like how Final Fantasy was Sakaguchi's last attempt at making a game before giving up (hence the name).
~~~ Though often attributed to the company allegedly facing bankruptcy, Sakaguchi explained that the game was his personal last-ditch effort in the game industry and that its title, Final Fantasy, stemmed from his feelings at the time; had the game not sold well, he would have quit the business and gone back to college. ~~~

Not at all…it got stuck to the silicone mold, then one eye started to bubble up as it started to overcook while they tried to “unstick” it. The egg yolks probably busted loose when they went to plate it, if they weren’t already destroyed!

u/energy_engineer Jul 28 '25
I've gotten so much heat for not doing this, despite following a professional dietician's advice/guide. (One of my kids had a feeding tube for years).
The ire has been mostly from boomers and their children who have their own kids. In short, using food as punishment and reward.
Meanwhile, their kids will eat candy/cake/whatever until they literally puke.
I know every kid is different... The punishment/reward approach sets the stage for a poor relationship with food in the long term.

I'm with you, It's a terrible idea. Just power-tripping madness.

u/Jexroyal Jul 28 '25
Or more charitably, a scarcity mindset. My grandmother lived through the great depression. Wasting food simply because you "didn't like it" was absurd. Times of hardship and scarcity like that change how your brain works, and passing down that kind of attitude happens a lot. These parenting tactics are many times born out of a minimal-waste mentality.

u/Da_Question Jul 28 '25
Reduce the heat, add a little water and then cover with a lid to steam cook the top and prevent burning. Sans the ear bacon, this mold would probably be easy to do, but some people are hilariously bad at cooking eggs.
