— Bluesky· May 2026“Died many times, lost every world, made a cute house, died right after finishing the first floor because I tried to pick up a flower and got two-shot by a skeleton with musical aspirations. Decent experience”
— Bluesky· May 2026“And frustrated because heat pump/ new furnace do wonderful job for basement and first floor, but not the upstairs. Despite assurances that definitely size and strength needed. Roommate can't be arsed to contact install, or try to resolve issues because "feels fine to them"”
