You should look up trepanning. It is the earliest form of surgery we have archaeological evidence for (like back in caveman times). Basically, intracranial pressure would be relieved by drilling small holes into the skull using flint. Something like 5% of all skulls archaeologists find have evidence of trepanning, and it's clearly deliberate, not a war wound.

Silicon Valley (the HBO show) was joking about this a decade ago. "Making the world a better place through highly scalable caching and consensus algorithms", "I don't want to live in a world where someone else makes the world a better place better than we do", etc.

Shadowdark has d20 rolls for spellcasting and by all accounts it's fantastic. If you succeed the roll you cast the spell and expend no resources. If you fail you can't cast the spell for the rest of the day. I don't believe for a second that it's what the OP in this post was playing though.

An Abrahamic religion based around worshipping a hereditary monarch is problematic? Colour me amazed.

Not necessarily. My understanding is that you can earn a green check as long as your game feels like a native console experience, even if it's running on Proton

Obviously this is very context dependant, but here's my take:

"I ate too many refried beans" = in one meal, I consumed more refried beans than I should have

"I ate too much refried beans" = over the course of an extended period of time, I ate meals consisting of refried beans more frequently than I should have

I never said it can't understand it. I am agreeing with the notion that it has a bias against using it.

Code names don't need to be good for marketing, they are just for being able to talk about a thing
