Shattered Pixel Dungeon- v2.5.2, desktop linux, github version

So today I opened up Shattered Pixel Dungeon and discovered that my pastry had transformed into a birthday cake for Pixel Dungeon’s anniversary. I am not really a fan of real world time influencing games in general, since it hurts immersion for me. I also do not like my items in my inventory transforming on their own accord, and I do not really like anniversaries either because they remind me of how my ex-wife left me and took the kids with her. I haven’t heard from them in a very long time, and I feel that burning pain every time I pick up a birthday cake in game. Is there a way that I can either disable the holiday events? Alternatively, is there a way I can spoof the date/time so that the real world never affects my gameplay?

Thank you.

    Ok, but, like, it isn’t funny, it’s annoying. You are undermining a feature that Evan coded with all his good intention. Maybe if you brought something new to the conversation I’d be interesting, but you didn’t. We all read it already.

      It’s a shitpost mate I’m not undermining anything. There’s no rule against it, and I did alter the text in an admittedly feeble attempt at humor. The votes show that it wasn’t particularly well-received so I won’t make a habit of it but sheesh it’s not that big a deal so don’t be so hostile.

        Well, what do you expect when you not only copy paste another post that was already annoying and undermining Evan’s effort to try and make a fun easter egg (but I guess calling a fun feature with almost no gameplay effect that is actually directed to help the player as giving you “burning pain” isn’t undermining Evan’s effort). There not being a rule against something doesn’t make it right. Can you give homeless people fake coins? Yes, you can. Would it be the perfect introduction for a villain in a movie? Yes, it would be. Of course you have freedom of speech and can post stuff like this, but so do I, and if I find it annoying, spammy and undermining the efforts of a person that has developed a game for a long time, for free; I will say it and actively discourage it.
