House Harkonnen is named after very common Finnish surname Härkönen. Frank Herbert said he found it in a phone book and found it suitably "scary" or "soviet" to use in the book.

It's funny every time I hear it because it's like you took a very popular surname like Johnson and change it a bit, Game of Thrones -style, to Johnsonn and made that a house.

Mobile game devs really did creates a whole ass fake genre instead of just creating good games by fairport in c/games@hexbear.net

It’s always the same thing. Russia bad, Middle-East bad, China bad. USA saves the world.

I like playing Ace Combat because the nations and geopolitics are made-up so it doesn’t feel like you are sitting down and watching U.S. military propaganda for 10 straight hours.
