Okay, non-literal show of hands: who got included in that dating app, and did you date yourself? This is important data collection.

[No it's not.]

Okay, it isn't, but I'm still really curious and want you to tell me. Full disclosure: the Alayne Salmon character is me, and it's...not completely off-base? I do care a lot about my career, and I do like classic video games. But it also says I like bad boys...and girls...so it's not a how-to guide, either.

[Not that they need to be squeaky clean, but thaaaaat is not something she's going to talk about on the network.]

Anyway, I want to know who tried out some self-love and how well it ended. Myself and myself will be very happy together, apparently, but I lost a weekend to this game and got mixed results with Hannu Sololo, James Caligula and Bill Grimm.

Maybe I should be annoyed that the developer used our likenesses this way, but honestly, I had a lot of fun.

Feel free to show your support by making purchases at the in-game store.

There are shirt designs, now. And pins.

I'll think about it. Nice monetization efforts.

[ewenique]

I am not converting anything into currency.

Are you making a joke at my expense?

[storyseeker]

If people are buying things in your store, they're still paying in currency. That's monetization regardless of what you do with it.

[ewenique]

That is a valid use of the word. I was thinking of more literal conversation.

[storyseeker]

Nah. They say we're headed toward a cashless economy anyway.

[ewenique]

the hackers must be very sad.

[storyseeker]

I'm sure they're crying.
