So over here, I have been playing...
It never left, for those of you who aren't terminally online millennials.
It never left, but it is kind of back.
Yeah, people are playing it again.
Why is that?
Because they released a new version of the game that's really brought back a lot of old players like me, and I do mean literally old.
Which is weird.
He's going to burn out on it.
There's no way...
Yeah, not to go down that rabbit hole, but he's going to burn out on it because it's not for him.
