Yes, it would, considering that it's the 14th of November. Or in other words, Halloween plus a fortnight. ;)
I may return for somewhat longer than I was initially expecting. Why am I here? No idea whatsoever. I really ought to find some way out of this place.

Also, the NS stats don't reflect my RL views, just to clarify.

But I won't be spending the night in a fort, so how can it be a fortnight?

A fortnight is two weeks, Pax. It's also the name of a mediocre vidya gaem enjoyed solely by the youngest of zoomers.

I remember when they brought Thanos from Fortnite into the MCU. Truly a blessed day.

I'd like to announce my running in the 2020 American elections. My only policy will be ending "generations" as a concept.

Better idea: randomising generations. 80 year olds will be zoomers, but you can only be a boomer if you were born on January 26th, 1985.

I dislike this because it implies that we were captured and held hostage by a video game, much less a Sonic one.
