It feels like Taco Bell has a long history of this. My first thought was how as a kid my local one also sold Choco Tacos, and it felt right.

But then I realized the true answer for me was I hate their change in sauce for the Cheesy Gordita Crunch. Instead of the Baja sauce they used to have, a while back they switched over to using a ranch sauce. (Gotta fulfill that stereotype of Taco Bell just being a dozen ingredients in different shapes/amounts.) That sucks.

Hey, I’m just a hobbyist. (I’ve tooled around with the programming and made a few things I never released, but I work in journalism, and not games journalism!) If there’s a community you want to help, the best thing you can do is comment, upvote, and when possible, make a post. And if you want to RUN one, trying is better than just letting things not exist. If people don’t like it, they can downvote your posts. That’s fine too.

FYI “darling” can also be used with a spouse or romantic partner. Your husband or girlfriend can be your “darling” just like “honey” or “baby”. It has a similar meaning in this case, where “darling of the group” means everyone really likes them, even if not sexual/romantic.

And this use, “darling of the ____”, is a slightly older, but relatively common, saying.

To anyone else out there thinking about this? Do it. I took over /c/gamedev a couple of months back. Not because I dislike anytging about r/gamedev, but because I want more than one place for that kind of thing on the Internet, and am beginning less of a fan of reddit itself.

(And yes, it’s slow going, especially with the holidays and job hunting. But I’m okay with that.)
