The title is nice enough to actually comment itself to give you the pronunciation.

So it's a function which doesn't return anything and doesn't pass in any parameters. So it's something that doesn't in any way change data (unless using global variables in which case is awful programming practice) so it can only be window dressing at best and doesn't really need to be its own function.

Glad I can glean this much info just from the choice of title.

Ah good, I can't wait to be forced to tears yet again. These games are always bittersweet at BEST.

Void Terralium. Literally in the title.

I find it weird that they chose to use both R's and L's to spell Terrarium.

I already knew what the word meant because the game Terraria has one such furniture item in it, but if anyone passing doesn't know:
