      That’s okay, I’m just confused/intrigued at how anyone is going to identify a reference based on a common saying. Like “Goodnight, sleep tight” or “goddammit” or “kids these days”. I’ll be lurking to see what happens :)

        I’m with you. I’ve heard that phrase twice today already and would never think “oh, that’s a reference to something”.

        The other guy is very obnoxious, I went ahead and blocked him. But since he ruined it with his ignorant behavior I’ve kind of lost interest in the game. Dude sucked all the fun out of it with that personality flaw.

        Since you seemed genuinely interested I wanted to tell you what the reference is though:

        Scroll to S. Also highly recommend the trilogy.

        Now I want to tell you what it is but I don’t want to make it too easy 😆
