I'm pretty sure if he shops at IKEA he'd try to read one of the names and accidentally summon a demon. [[User:DanielLC|DanielLC]] ([[User talk:DanielLC|talk]]) 23:41, 13 July 2020 (UTC)<br />

"extremely very pixelated with no aliasing" should be "extremely very pixelated with no anti-aliasing"<br />
