The game is Night in the Woods. It’s a story about a depressed anthropomorphous cat who quit college and moved back in with her parents. You play day by day and each evening you can chose which of your friends you wanna hang out with.

If you hang out with a particular friend one night, you will visit the woods together. There, you have to play a game where you try to stab each other’s fist with a knife. There are mechanics to stab and retract your fist to avoid getting stabbed. This is considered fun. There is no way to progress the game without stabbing your friend.

I’m sorry, I’m probably too old and soft for this, but no, I don’t wanna stab my friends for fun with a knife.

Oh no, I don’t think this fits into the definition, it’s just that the statement I quoted seemed strange. And the company would probably argue it’s a citizen’s arrest if this ever went to court.

No private citizen or company has the right to retain someone else against their will.

Don’t you have something called “citizen’s arrest” in the US? Like when a shop employee catches a thief, they’re allowed to detain them until the cops show up?

I always thought it was a made up name too, but apparently it’s an archaic Dutch name. German version is Jost, which I imagine sounds like the Dutch version Joost, which is fairly common (I now one).

The English version is Joyce, which became a female name, which could explain why they didn’t want to use that and chose Jonathan instead. Maybe other languages just followed that choice? I don’t know. I much prefer Jodocus though.

Yeah, he is called that in Dutch as well. I got the English name from the Dutch page, but there’s no source mentioned.

Oh, I copied the English name from Wikipedia, suppose that’s wrong then.

It really is. I wish I could rewatch it, but it’s not on anymore unfortunately.

Growing up I really loved the animated series Alfred Jonathan Quack or Alfred Kvakk in Norwegian. It’s about a duck, his farther (I think) is a mole and the antagonist is a nazi-styled crow called Dolf. My favourite episode was about this island they visited which turned out to be the shell of this gigantic turtle.

Another favourite was The World of David the Gnome. It’s about a gnome who lives in or under a tree and has all sorts of adventures with animals. The books it’s based on are also great, I still have them.

I don’t know if you can still find these series since they’re pretty old.

From what I’ve read there’s a way to export a list of installed packages (apps) and import them into the package manager again, but I’ve never tried it. Different distros have different package managers though, so that might not work. And even if they have the same package manager some distros name the package differently, so yeah. I don’t usually switch distros, but if I did, I would definitely start afresh.
