A little too much of it the last couple days… Couple trips to the ER, bills, empty fridge and gas tank.  Maybe that’s not what this ancient meme is referring to but the sentiment holds.  Reality is the worst game ever.  More than anything I just want a pause button tonight.

There were three words I really hated to hear when I was younger.  I can recall the exact game I was playing at the time when they first invaded my ears: “Go play outside.” My mom uttered them inside our ghetto off-base apartment near Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.  Allow me to wordsmith you a scene.

A game showed up in the featured titles on Steam the other day.  A lowkey survival horror game and pseudo MMO called Nether.
