Complete Joining Tmodloader — Reload

Together the two phrases form a small story. The reload marks the end of preparation; the joining, the beginning of play. There is a tension in that hinge — the hope that the mods you crave will be compatible, that the server will not choke on an errant line, that the world you've tuned in your imagination will survive translation from script to reality. "Reload complete — joining tModLoader" carries, in compressed form, a litany of micro-dramas: the modder who stayed up late fixing a bug, the builder who arranged pixel gardens across a hundred islands, the friend who promised to join and hasn't yet, the dread of a corrupted save and the unshakable optimism that, this time, the new feature will work.
