I want a casual sandbox game that’s basically like Animal Crossing but it’s antiquarian/rare book collecting, building your library, trading with others, etc.

We're in a surge so here's your reminder that while it's best to be infected 0 times, if you've been infected before, just do your best to avoid being infected again. You should always be trying to avoid your next infection. The damage adds up. Your body will thank you later.

I like romance, but every time the only conflict to a heterosexual romance is “we can’t date because we’re friends!!!” I’m sorry, I’m fucking bored
