toasts aren't even a thing on other platforms, it's specifically an Android thing (sure, the UI concept exists, but it's only Android that calls it a toast)

Doesn't every game ui framework (eg steamworks) call it that as well? That's certainly the only context where it makes sense

Huh. I've certainly never seen it outside of an Android context, but yeah other places may have it too I guess.

I've never understood why they call it a toast in Android. Like you're not toasting anything. I didn't get an achievement.

Because it pops up from the bottom like a toast from a toaster.
