its been a while since ive read a comment somewhere that I am so completely bewildered by. I understand about half the words, and none of the references, that you wrote.

Hope your teeth are doing better now!

Caturday -> Saturday enjoyed with or similar to a cat

LBA -> probably supposed to be LBAC, Late Bronze Age collapse

Civ -> Civilization, a series of historically inspired strategy games, where you play as the historical leader of a civilization through the ages of human development

Hatshepsut -> an Egyptian Pharaoh who is one of the leaders you can play as in Civ VII

Deity -> the name of the highest difficulty level in Civ VII

Firaxis -> the company that develops the Civilization series

Discord -> a chat app/service often used in gaming communities

ooh la la i call a car hole a garage -> a reference to a joke in The Simpsons, where a character complains someone else thinks they're fancy because they use the word "garage", and when challenged on an alternative, he calls it "car hole"

Old World -> a game similar to the Civilization series

CK III -> Crusader Kings III, another game similar to Civilization

Plague -> probably Plague Inc, a game where you play as a pathogen trying to infect and kill the entirety of humanity

Contagion -> a movie about the start of a pandemic

Rest of the references I can't help with. Also no idea why they would mention the playtest of Civ VII version 1.3.2.

Do you find yourself more lost in the history parts or the gaming parts?
