So there was a game back in the '90s, Star Wars: Yoda Stories, that was sort of a coffee break roguelite Zelda-like.

I’m pretty sure it’s thoroughly abandonware at this point, but if you can track it down and get it to run on a modern machine it’s probably with a look.

More like Pollock.

Vati-chan?

What about nix, tho?

Archer.

🔫🐧

She was a boi, he was a gurl,

Can I make it any more obvious?

I feel like Handmaid’s Tale deserves a mention. Throughout the series we see June’s peers swiftly mutilated or killed even for minor offenses.

June herself, past a certain point, is Gilead’s public enemy number one. Which would be fine if they wanted to tell the story of her as an activist in exile, or a resistance leader who always manages to escape by the skin of her teeth. But no, she keeps getting caught and nothing ever comes of it.

“All safety regulations are written in blood”, but with (hopefully) different fluids and motivation.

Ah, but would the tech bros have come up with the torment nexus if not for the classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus?

Tra(i)ns.

Then who was phone?

I don’t know about salsa (old Pace commercials notwithstanding) but Arizona tea started in Brooklyn and is now somewhere on Long Island.

Eh, you take the bad with the good.

Sure, Ea-Nasir may be the worst copper merchant you’ve ever heard of.

But you have heard of him.

Hell, the US military has a detailed strategic plan for responding to zombies.

Not that that sort of thing is unique to the US. cf. Crisis in Zefira, a sci-fi training scenario commissioned by National Defense Canada.

I mean, if I went 'round saying I was “Usher of the Black Rod” just because some geezer had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d lock me away!

european bourbon

I know what you’re getting at, but bourbon whiskey is a protected designation of origin. By definition it can only be made in the US.

Sorry for the delay, updating to the beta took longer than I would have expected.

It does not appear to be happening on 218.

Yep, every time I switch away and come back for the last update or so.

Well now I want a mash-up of Spider-Man and Chicken Boo where Spidey is a giant horrifying arachnid but, like, Doc Oc or someone is the only one who seems to notice.
