Introversion + Cold Weather = Linux.
Finland also has a Sesame Street-like heavy metal band of dinosaurs making educational and children-appropriate heavy metal music for kids:

Land O’ 10 000 Lakes
Minnesota? We are already considered as ‘Canada lite’. But we also have a strong number of Finnish heritage living ‘Up Norf’. So as a Minnesotan, I will allow it.
Land o’ Lakes is/was a very old farm co-op store. They formed to buy milk from farmers and then turned it into butter and cheese. They also sold other things like feeds and fertilizers and fuels to farmers. Back in the 1970s, Land o’ Lakes was merged with 3 different farm co-ops and became Cenex. I’m still a member of Cenex.
The brand name lives on in grocery stores mostly as a brand of butter.
There’s a new contender to the “weird shit from Finland” scene
And of course Nokia.
The movies as well:
Noita is amazing.
my summer car
Baba is You isn’t that edgy, it’s just a sheep game…
Mfers live in a winter wonderland and yet every other death metal band comes from there
One part of the reason might be because we are so strangers to sharing our feelings by talking that the only socially acceptable way is to let them burst in the form of music.
One other reason might be the fact that regular working hours in the winter often coincide with the few hours with sun so many might go months without seeing the sun(my personal record is about 2 months)
There is a lot of things in dark woods to be fearful of.
How have you forgotten Remedy, with Alan Wake, Control, and Quantum Break?
I feel like Finland might be where I belong. If only I could realistically learn Suomi…
Almost everyone there speaks English and very well. Never had any problem communicating.
Eh, they have a good school system I think and most people know English
To add, some of you might be interested in Metal: Hellsinger too
I can’t believe that “My Summer Car” isn’t on here, I feel like it fits the theme of amazing but slightly disturbing Finnish games
And Wreckfest, Flatout, Rally Trophy
edit: Trials!
That is just an accurate rural finland simulator
Finnish people are fucking crazy (non-derogatory)
Buncha perkele
Maybe their winter could give us an answer…
By the way, if there’s anyone from Finland reading this, hello! 👋😃
Why hello! 🙋🏻♀️
I think I saw some quip by Linus Torvalds about how Finland has such long winters with nothing to do, so it’s no wonder we have so many great information technology nerds.
I don’t think they like to be talked to that directly.
Oh beings of higher
existancelatitude if you would be so kind as to bless me with your knowledge and grace
