#beaſts

Delivering a fresh shipment of medial Ses because I've seen three separate posts talking about beafts-with-an-F cross my dashboard in the past 35 minutes, so clearly we're running low:

A video game I would like to see:

A zoo simulator game along the lines of Zoo Tycoon in which you play as the steward of a medieval lord trying to improve his prestige by building an impressive menagerie full of strange and exotic beaſts.

The easier-to-obtain animals in the game would mostly be fairly conventional animals local to the region the game is set in, but as your menagerie expands you would be able to get more exotic beaſts, such as you might see in a medieval bestiary—you know the ones. Eventually you would be able to gain access to outright mythical creatures, such as a dragon, phoenix, or unicorn.

The game could probably have multiple campaign modes based on different regions of the world and their respective bestiaries and mythical creatures.

I think we should bring back the long S for the level of specificity it provides. If I tell you that there’s beasts outside the door, that communicates something completely different from if I tell you that there’s beaſts.

Cars are beasts & bicycles are creatures. This is the central thesis of my new field of study, “vehicular taxonomy”
