Make grenade explosion indicator visible in hand #123

Right now if you click and wait to throw a grenade, it doesnt show how long until it will explode. Only if you throw it out can you see it slowly turning red and explode. I think the "turning red" feature can also be seen when you hold and wait to throw the grenade. It will just make using and timing it easier.

sure but this wouldn't really be balance, more like QoL

I like the idea, although i'd like to switch away from the "i'm about to explode guess i'll turn red" shtick. Some people are colorblind. Some people have a suboptimal monitor setup. The change in color is remarkably minimal, and is hard to read precisely.

An arc around the grenade which gradually "fills up" radially, turning into a hollow circle when it's about to explode, seems ten times more readable to me.

Perhaps hard to describe in text. Something like this, though perhaps with a slightly different design so that it better fits into the game: image
