As does Ctrl+w or middle-clicking the browser tab.

Bonus browser tricks: You probably already know that Ctrl+t creates a new tab, but if you type something into the address bar and hit Alt+Return it'll create a new tab and navigate the new tab to whatever you had typed into the bar. Also Ctrl+shift+t reopens the most recently closed tab.

One of the reference models for Ariel in The Little Mermaid went on to become Slappy Squirrel in Animaniacs.

There’s a difference between “emend” and “amend”. Thanks daily crossword for teaching me that!

I'm not sure I knew the word "emend" existed. Which technically was a difference.

I think the definition of emend needs to be amended.

Amen.

In the Insomniac Spider-Man game, if you hang out at street level for a couple seconds, one of the pedestrians will come up to you and you can high-five them.

Or just walk down the street.

As an introvert this is my nightmare Same with the GTA/Yakuza games where pedestrians bark at you for getting too close even if you're just walking by. The older Assassins Creed games had it right, crowds are for blending in.

I only played one of the Assassin's Creed games briefly, but my main memory of it is pedestrians constantly pointing at me and saying "What is he doing? Has he gone mad?"

(I think those reactions were meant to play when the player is acrobatically leaping from wall to wall, but I remember them happening every time I hopped over a fence or stood on a wall or such.)
