Does anyone else feel like they actively try to make the puzzles as alienating as possible to people outside the US?
I understand the game is made by a US company so it's not unexpected that there'll be the odd US-specific reference, but it seems like almost every puzzle has not one but multiple US-specific cultural references/brands/word uses/homophones etc. 90% of the time when I don't get a word, I'll Google it after and it turns out it'll be something like a US slang definition of the word, or something to do with a sport that's only popular in the US etc. At this point it actively feels intentional rather than occurring naturally, even though I have no idea why they'd deliberately do that. And I watch a lot of US TV shows/movies but never hear any of these things come up either.
