Solitude even has the victory animation: http://i.imgur.com/IlSm5pE.png

Funnily enough if you leave the tab in the background, the events queue up and when you tab back there are a bunch of cards bouncing around at once: http://i.imgur.com/dNObRGb.png

The victory effect (js version) is credited to mr doob, and can be found here http://mrdoob.com/lab/javascript/effects/solitaire/
You mean Solitaire...Solitude sounds so odd...
They called it Solitude.
We, the Dutch call it 'patience,' as how it sounds in French.

Personally, I used to call it 'sol.exe.'

I noticed a few other French easter eggs, like the names of the city "stive" is visiting during his acid trip, or that "the national train company is on strike, but you managed to reach Lille in less than 15 hours. #WIN".
Patience is what my grandma used to call it. This was in the UK so it might be called that in several European countries.
