How did I miss this one?
After decrypting one of multiple mangled data plates:
Your watch beeps, reminding you that your computer has finished its decryption work.
You got an item: statistical analysis code
It's also automatically started up next item of the 3 in your queue. Because it's the future!
It looks like it's missing a "the" in there.
Fixed up, thanks!

The pit fiends' attack messages:
The fiend challenges you to a rock off. It rocks too hard because
its not a mortal man. It hits you for 4 + 4 (sonic) damage.
The fiend tries to throw you into the fires
of of the blue blazes, but you were forged in the fires of Twilight.
Also, somewhat amusing:
The varmint tries to freeze you, but there's some confusion as to whether the deepest circles of the inferno are hot or cold.
Fixed thanks! And, yeah, I'm a fan of that

In the description:

should be "with all the yelling"
In his miss messages (I couldn't get him to hit even my level 1 gadgeteer):
He starts screaming, but you'd had enough of this nonsense and these references. You kick him in a conveniently placed pit.
you've had enough, into a conveniently placed
He starts complaining, but you've dealt with customer service reps before, and this guy's bush league.
this guy is bush league (OK, this is actually a figure of speech, but it's not his bush)
The stars are right to fix these! Except for "this guy's bush league," which I don't think is wrong, just idiomatic.

Shiloh has been labelled "Sanatarium" for many years, but the new signmaker might be a bit mad: "Sanitarium"?
(While "sanitarium" appears to be the more dominant spelling, "sanatarium" appears to also be accepted.)
