I haven’t been on the socials much except to lurk and occasionally post something. I maintain socials for work and professional service. Life beyond the socials has been wild.

I hadn’t played PalWorld in a while (solo offline), & a lot has changed. There are NPCs & quest givers! Bounties on obnoxious & bad NPCs! More Pals that are Legally Distinct from Pokemon! It’s a cozy game that satirizes the industrial complex by applying Flintstones logic. It’s novel & weird!

“All the kids want to check out from the library - if they want to read at all - are graphic novels.”
“At least they’re reading the graphic novels. That’s still reading.” — my conversation with my mom who works at a K-5 school library.

Whoever the maker of the original list is, when I find you, we’re going to have an extremely stern and educational discussion. All reading is good reading!
Oof.
