Sounds like the name of a very strange role playing game.

I thought the same thing.

I’d play it. Sounds hilarious. Like cards against humanity as an rpg.

Which word were you looking up, tho'?

While actually taking a shower, I was thinking about my current favorite game Heroes Forge. In Linux (snap; it's also for mobile), its window title is just "Heroes" and I was like visually picturing that word in my head, when I noticed, just another line on the o would make it "Herpes" and those letters are also next to each other in the alphabet. I saved that thought to post it here after the shower.

(The game is very fun btw. Like only the battles of old Final Fantasy games, no walking around; no story. It just has a bug where it downloads its 200MB asset file to a temp dir where it gets deleted every boot, but easy to wrap in a shell start script that tars and untars it, if missing.)

Stopped reading after, "While taking a shower". TMI and redundant.

Heroes with herpes and villainous turkeys

Catching a virus from a girl in her thirties

Mouth parts all covered with pustules that sting

Those are a few of my favourite things

Funnily enough, this still holds up in Spanish.

I think you’ve found a conspiracy.

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

It's not the same in French. Héros vs herpès.

Fair enough, but it is using the old grammar when written in all caps :P
