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.

That ending's the more plausible one, truth be told. S'why you shouldn't feel bad.

[storyseeker]

Well, video game-you is still getting a happy ending. It's my game, I call the shots.

[heckblazer]

Well, don't get used to it. Those kinda games rot your brains, don't they?

[That's why you make friends with the speedrunners. They find all the exploits.]

Sounds like someone's upset he got digitally dumped.

apparently i hallucinated tagging this back, I'm gr8

[heckblazer]

A bit hard to feel bad knowing the ones doing the dumping are safer that way.

[ And after a comical pause: ]

S'that mean you beat the digital dodging-copyright version of me at poker, too?

I've done that

[storyseeker]

[Ouch. Lucky she's good at holding an expression.]

Technically yes, but I had to reload a save. Digital you is pretty good at poker. Or maybe I'm just bad.

[heckblazer]

We all have our strengths, right? [ And, he does cheat at it. A lot. ] I do hope you dumped me for someone with better hair, though.

[storyseeker]

Nah, I stayed with one person in each save file to get their whole story. But if it makes you feel better, I went on the rebound really fast with my next playthrough.
