As a single person who’s friends mostly all have kids I can tell you it often feels quite the opposite. I’m sure there are 100 stories we could tell from either vantage point but in lieu of that perhaps one could say that kids can change relationships between the parents and single people.

I don’t understand how you lot don’t understand Wicked Whims. You can turn off all the autonomy. Nobody is judging you for not wanting virtual entities to fornicate. There’s no need to mis-characterize the mod as ‘Interrupting’ or ‘Stop Blowing everyone’. The mod makes either zero, 1, or many changes. It’s either…

Additionally I doubt you can find a "Lets Play" that shows the boring stuff and isn't edited to show the "interesting" spreadsheets rather than the countless hours Googling, reading, using 3rd party software to come up with plans, spreadsheets, forum reading, useless trips into systems looking for things, countless…

"Luck" I think referred to why the girl and not her father was chosen, in the sense that some of the decision isn't predictable and that luck, that cruel mistress, might save one and not spare the other.

I found it gut-punching as well. It's not poured over you all syrupy, you have to allow it. You can project whatever thoughts and feelings you want into the young woman and her father, but I think I know how I'd feel if I were him.

You mean they landed a plane on her house and killed her and then called the FBI? No, I didn't read that.
