    Bruh, reading through this thread, I’m low-key having an existential crisis thinking about the timeline where that extinction event didn’t happen. No humans, no tech, no video games.

    Dinosaurs rule forever?

    What if my soul got incarnated as a dinosaur, what is it like?

    Just chillin’?

      Yo dog. I know it’s 鬼月. This time of year, everyone in Taiwan thinks about their mortality.

      My suggestion is to think about what you want to accomplish if you don’t have to think about survival.
