tl;dr - just me experimenting with yanking ui scaling one way, and then when i pass Uedama, the other way.

while spelunking through the dozens of pages of devblogs i find scattered tidbits of useful information, and many things i outright forgot about (especially the chronology of all the changes)
One of those was a devblog about UI scaling that piqued my interest.
