Hey @BoozyBadger how do you say "if you do some stupid shit and bad things happen because you treated the cryptic utterances of a weirdo living in a cave as anything other than entertainment, that's on you and not the cave-dwelling weirdo" but in lawyer

oh my sweet flaming jesus, this game actually encodes their text files with UTF-8.
I think this is the first time I have ever seen a game be this sensible.
