note: its not like Advance mod description is overwhelming, you dont see it until you "alt" lol

and clock is default in every modern games ive played, its not even an option lol

im pretty sure there are other crappy options by default and GG ones that arent

I reset my computer every 3 month and have this kind of realization every time and i can only think of the new players. Good options are to be toggled off by preference while bad ones are to be toggled ON by preference

For new players, holding Alt when viewing an item is for showing reminder text in-place, without changing anything else about the displayed stats This helps explain terminology and mechanics they might not have seen before.

While there's definitely an argument that this should be signalled better so players learn they can do this sooner, it's definitely important for new players that it does this instead of the advanced mod descriptions, which throw in a lot of extra information which is useless or irrelevant to most new players, and also rearranges things, making it harder to see how the reminder texts apply to specific stats.
