This term has no exclusivity, but it was made with plurality in mind.

Rex Ronan: Experimental Surgeon

Though it was made with good intentions and was, by some accounts, successful at educating children about diabetes, Captain Novolin is ridiculed amongst gamers who remember it, making it an easy target for satirical articles and harsh YouTube reviews alike. While it’s easy to dunk on nowadays for a variety of reasons, it was apparently successful enough for publisher Raya Systems to justify backing three more educational games for the SNES, one of which was Rex Ronan: Experimental Surgeon. Developed by the same team that worked on Captain Novolin, Sculptured Software, along with the support of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Rex Ronan was designed to educate kids on tobacco use by showing them the potential horrors it can inflict on the human body. Rex Ronan feels more like a conventional video game than Captain Novolin did in how it contains higher concentrations of action and other expected video game-isms, but this choice is ultimately to its detriment. Thanks to an utterly absurd premise, rougher controls, and fewer mechanics that actually tie into educating its players, Rex Ronan struggles to make good on its intent in both its original context and in a world where information is more readily available than ever before.

Microcosplex: A plurplex (link) and microcosmic (link) term where a system/collective/et cetera's gender is a microcosm of x.

For example, if your system/et cetera's gender was a microcosm of Jupiter, you& could be jupitermicrocosplex, microjupiterplex, microjupitercosplex, or some other name along those lines.

To be clear, this term does NOT mean that a system/etc is a microcosm of x, it means a system/etc's GENDER is a microcosm of x. The former is a term we're working on, but need some consultation on for a flag and naming! Send us an ask if you'd like to help out, and we'll message you!

This term is exclusive to plurals/systems.
