Blog of Magic Cheese

I've never done the categories thing in my blog before, as everything would end up under "Random" but today, in honor of an online petition I received at work, I made my first, which is "Things that make Aya lose the will to live."

Somebody, and this is not even the first time I have been on the receiving end of this suggestion, thinks the most awesome thing we could add to Puzzle Pirates is pregnancy and babies. Your children, this enthusiastic player writes, would be slave labor for chores, which is charmingly traditional, and operated by AI to follow you everywhere.

I love my job and the community of the game, but it's well-intended petitions like these, and the person I still remember who went into a public area in the game and emoted *runs into the inn has her baby in the corner and runs out again* that make me ponder first about the nature of adolescents and teenagers exploring various adult roles and relationships in online games, and then about how much Drano I need to ingest to end it all.
