gollark: I wonder what other slightly eye-burning (in a metaphorical sense) patterns you could stick in a profile picture.

gollark: Does *anyone* play it? How do they even make enough money to sponsor everyone? Is it a real game or just some sort of memetic virus? So many questions.

gollark: I think it's just become a meme at this point.
