answered someone's shitpost that I read as two serious questions one of which involved a word I wasn't familiar with so I answered the first one and now I feel like a bit of a jerk or something because it turns out they were riffing off of a meme i'm not familiar with in conjunction with a location from a video game i'm not familiar with

@Hi_cial@snouts.online I like how your username is a way to greet you too
