Looks like he did the sensible thing and milked the suckers while the hype was at its peak. Wait any longer and people would stop caring again, what with his thread getting prospered.

Japanese chef turns crows into culinary delights
NAGANO (majirox news) — Most people are repulsed by the idea of eating crows. The mere mention of eating these unpopular birds is like suggesting eating rodents.
It’s a shame, said Norihiko Fujiki, a French-trained chef and owner of the trendy French restaurant Espoir, because if properly prepared crows are delicious.
“If we can get over our cultural prejudice it would become a gourmet treat,” the 41-year-old told Majirox News.
Fujiki serves such meals as grilled crow in red wine sauce and roasted crow smothered in herbs at Espoir, located in Chino City in Nagano prefecture. A fixed menu that includes crow as the main course costs 6,000 yen ($77).
“The crow has an image of being sinister, and people see them as scavengers,” he said. “I want to change that.”
The meat doesn’t have any bacteria in it, and safety is not an issue.
According to Mitsuo Sekikawa, a professor at Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, “Crow meat has no residual heavy metals or pesticides. Microbial testing showed there were no problems. In fact, crows contain more iron than chickens, ounce for ounce.”
Some even claim crows are good for men because it increases sexual potency. In medieval times they stood for virility. To many Native Americans the raven (belonging to the crow family) was a bird of extraordinary knowledge and power, honored as being unearthly. The raven plays an important part in rituals and myths of the Inuits in North America, who say they were the harbingers of light.
Fujiki got the idea for cooking crows from an old Frenchcookbook Grimoire 
. From that, he devised his own recipes and put them on the menu about a year ago. His customers who like game birds didn’t hesitate to order the crow. However, his other customers refused to eat it, saying they felt repelled by the idea.
“But people who love wild dishes such as pheasants and other game birds like duck and quail find that crows are even tastier,” he said, “My customers were surprised that it was so delicious and they now crave crow.”
Since then his crow dishes have become so popular that Fujiki travels across Japan introducing his recipes to other chefs.
“My goal is to change people’s perception of the crow as being repulsive,” he says.
Fujiki purchases the crows from hunters authorized by the prefecture. In 2008, the population of crows became such a problem that Nagano prefecture gave grants to hunters to capture them with the hope of selling them as meat, which is legal in Japan. The prefecture wanted to reduce the damage that the crows were doing to its agriculture. Farmers see them as big, squawky, troublesome birds, descending down to eat their crops, especially during planting season.
In Japan, the crow-hunting season is from Nov. 15 to Feb. 15. There are two kinds of crows in Japan: Corvus macrorhynbchos and Corvus corone. Fujiki cooks the latter one, which is found in the wild.
Historically, crows were a food. There’s even a famous children’s poem that includes the line “four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.” Pies made from parts of crows were served to the slaves and those of the lower classes who did not eat at the king’s or lord’s table in medieval times: the expression “eat humble pie” refers to this.
“To eat crow” is a similar idiom that means to be mistaken or defeated, and one needs to humbly apologize. Eating crow is perceived as distasteful in the same way that being proved wrong might be emotionally hard to take.
Crows were viewed as unfit for eating by the upper classes because they were seen as scavenging carrion birds and were associated with the battlefield. The corpses were left behind for them in a tradition in Western culture that goes back to the Middle Ages, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.
That perception of the crow as distasteful could change. Maybe soon people will be tempted out of their comfort zones by Chef Fujiki and embrace the crow as a specialty food.

They're wrong.
I just played quick start twice, once upon first booting and the second when I restarted to take the picture of the scaled mode. Had no issues. Didn't have any issues clicking on portraits either.

I get an error about .MID files. I think it's because it's racist against Linux.

Can't wait for all the negative Steam reviews to shatter Cleve's ego.
