Off-topic but that’s a darn nice name for a game engine.

Certainly ggez means “good game easy”. At least that’s how I read it.

Clever because “gg” and “ez” is gamer terminology used by people that play video games, with “gg” meaning a match was good (equivalent of “thanks for the match”) and putting them together you get a new meaning which is that it will be easy to create a good game.

The challenge is gathering consensus on how to pronounce it :p

Title seems to have been changed to meet the following rule:

> If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

However, I believe the "24" in "24 Hours of Rust Game Development" is pretty crucial.

"ggez" is what someone says to piss you off, kind of like "haha, loser, you suck, beating you wasn't even hard". People who say this are trash, and it's a big part of the reason why I disconnect from games seconds before I lose.

It is not a good name for anything.

Gee gee easy.

You seem disproportionately angry about this because of your personal experiences.

It means you can create a "Good Game Easily"

The trouble is, `gg` means `good game` and `ez` means `easy`. But `ggez` means `you suck and I'm better than you`.

"gg ez" is a taunt some players use when they win. Overwatch chat infamously auto-replaces that phrase with messages like, "I'm wrestling with some insecurity issues in my life but thank you for playing with me."

That being said, it is a clever name for an engine for the reasons you stated. And it's short, which is always nice.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It means that as much as "Sieg heil" means "hail to victory" and is an appropriate thing to say before a football match.

You can't just take an existing phrase and pretend it doesn't mean what it means and feedback of the current meaning as "personal experiences".
