The gaming carnival is appealing to the Gen Z's and other youths ✌️😎
Picture is of Taylor Swift and her fiance getting engaged and the captions say "the sandbox gaming game Carnival on Sept 27th" on the dude, and "awesome gamers with rizz" on T-Swift Honestly I think I'm nailing these memes ✌️😎

We've been quiet the last few weeks. Our volunteers are taking a well deserved break from planning gaming activities in the metro region, but given the seemingly endless alerts, the tragic loss of property, and new fires starting almost every day all over NL, we wanted to make a post. (1/3)
