dang man, why didn't Conan Doyle think of that
For over a decade, Dickens would write a framing story, like, a man walks into a creepy old house and randos want to tell him spooky crap. Then, while he was working on a novel, ghostwriters would just write any old spooky Christmas story they wanted, and he would plug them in without any credit.

but the future where Tiny Tim *does* die is the future in which Scrooge has also recently died, so presumably this implies a timeline where Scrooge and Tiny Tim fought to the death
Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, because the adventurers missed one of his phylacteries thus setting into motion a chain of events that would see the world covered in a stygian reign of terror for over ten thousand years

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

love that software developers are advertising AI functionality in every single app now and it's up to you to try to figure out if they mean "this has spellcheck" or "everything you create in this app will sync in real-time to sam altman's personal laptop" or something in between

I mean...your opening paragraph points out that these games are trying to demand an unsustainable amount of attention from players in the first place, and that you've played Valorant for years without any progress or change. why is growing bored with that the *more* unnatural thing?
