While I can see why some of y'all party poopers hate fun, I still think there's plenty of cool stuff that's come out of this holiday. The Bad Website always does some surprisingly good things for one day a year, Button, Robin, and Place were all great. Posting rainbows on Discord is just silly fun. And the best one I saw this year was VA-11 Hall-A Kids, announce an absurd obviously fake spinoff and then the joke is that it's not fake and you can go download it right now (disclaimer: I haven't gotten around to playing it yet though so idk if it's as good as just reading the press release was).
Interactivity is the key to April Fool's Day. Give people something fun to play with!
ye the point of the article is that the good ones are ones that actually exist rather than just "haha I fooled you into being excited for something that doesn't exist" - this year's Steamforged one was good, they announced a joke model for guildball, but the twist at the end of the video was that it was actually available as an alternate sculpt for an existing model and comes with a stat card for the joke one for funsies.
