Just a friendly note to the editors to mention that the game title is YOYOZO, all caps. The reason is aesthetics: it visually echoes the audible repetition you get when saying the word. A single capital Y and lowercase rest of the word ...just doesn't hit the same way.
Fun fact: YOYOZO is a word I invented, a portmanteau of the words yo-yo (as in the toy) and yozora (a Japanese word meaning "night sky"). So new I got the hash tag all to myself on social media. Almost a Googlewhack!? Cheers!
Hacker News submissions automatically title case all-caps and sometimes all-lowercase in submissions by default, particularly if it's the first word in the title (e.g. when you submit a post about the graphics library ggplot2, HN corrects it to "Ggplot2" which is definitely wrong: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=ggplot2)
A workaround is to edit the title after submitting it, which will not be automatically be corrected.
Interesting, because it was OK (as I typed it for submission) for a while and then ...changed... not just the capitalisation but also removing words and changing the units from 39KB to 39k. The original correct title is preserved in automated posts on social media at the moment it hit the top. Anyway, I think it's far too late for me to edit it now. :)
This is unfortunate. I find "39k" to be a lot less clear than "39KB"
I first thought the title meant you had a strict budget of $39,000

I didn't understand what 39k means. Money? I realized it was about bytes when I clicked to read the article.
Note that despite the always more common use, KB is not a thing. The correct unit is kB. Kilo is a lower case k. An upper case K is Kelvin. KB, Kelvin Bytes, does not exist.
See the list of prefixes on the site of the Bureau international des poids et mesures (English) https://www.bipm.org/en/measurement-units/si-prefixes

I would suggest changing it back to 39KB as this title isn't clear at all.
