This ignores pages upon pages of lore in item descriptions, though, which goes something like, “Sweet Grass — an herb from a distant land, cultivated by the dark monks of Seringrad, and used for healing rituals. The exiled senator Myrmidon of the Kingdom of Loss is believed to have poisoned his fellow senator and former lover Zanzibart following a legislative dispute during the Anecdotes using spoiled Sweet Grass, which produces a highly toxic sludge when rotting. Restores 10% health upon use.”
This is what’s great about FS games as far as I’m concerned — for those that want to read into the lore, it’s there to go through, but for those who just want to bonk, they can just bonk, and aren’t tied down to 30 minute cinematics that lay it all out for them. It’s like an inverted Kojima game, it’s all tell-don’t-show-but-maybe-ok-show-just-a-little-bit and does a 1 minute cinematic and leaves the rest as an exercise to the player to sort out. If they want to sort it out, they can, and if not, they can just continue to bonk and maybe later on put on some YouTuber’s three hour long explanation about the game they just finished and have it play in the background while they barbecue. And yeah, sure a bunch of t might be vague and contradictory, but goddamn it, it gets people talking more than the 30 minute exposition-heavy cinematic ever could.
If Mercurial were as popular as Git I would presume that it would be rewritten in C or Rust, but who can say.
Also Subsurface, a scuba diving log program, but that one is not quite as well known.
Alpha Flight checking in.
Also Wolverine.
And technically Superman was co-created by a Canadian. Metropolis was originally inspired by Toronto, as that’s where Joe Shuster grew up. But we all know this thanks to a Heritage Moment, just like we know about brain surgery and responsible government.

It also had an area which they mined… poison, somehow. They mined it like it was coal, just pickaxing it right out the ground while their workers caught the green lung.
Storm Thurman? Zero likes on his TikTok. That’s the real stat.
Grok has said disparaging things about Elon Musk so I’m assuming it’s going to be disappeared to El Salvador soon.
GitHub Copilot about to be clocking some overtime on COBOL conversions.
Assfault
It’s effectively digital book burning.
This is the government we’re talking about. I’d be shocked if it wasn’t made available as a WordPerfect 5.1 file.
Hopefully they just “redact” it with blacked out text in Word document.
Played it again for like the 10th time on like the 5th system I have it on it and it absolutely holds up. This time around it was the OG SNES on a Steam Deck. The original cartridge, box, instructions and everything are in a box in the basement, but that cartridge has been across the country and back with me every since I bought it through a mail order company that had its ads in EGM.
Chrono Trigger is damn near perfect. The closest I’ve gotten to reliving that game in my adult life is Sea of Stars, which I also highly recommend as it is very clearly inspired by CT.
Hope he gets to sit right next Trump at the dinner table and the conference table and literally everywhere else.
I’ve been using EasyDNS for like 20 years now I think. A long ti e at any rate. They’re based out of Etobicoke.
Buddy’s probably running code he got from GitHub Copilot that is used to do a visualization of a bubble sort for learning purposes.
