i enjoyed cloudpunk alot for its thoughts on this... also its one of those games you can just pick up and play whenever, very neat when the kids want to play for a bit... also one can have the LO control altitude and speed while the parent steers... or the other way around

Only halfway. Like a church songbook, but not quite up to the level of a dogmatic cosmology.
This is looping back full circle to the personification drawings of the social networks back in the day and... Kinda love it. Would make a fun ttrpg zine/setting thing 👀
you know what it would actually. praying to the Offbrand YouTube Algorithm in the hopes i get the engagement boon and i can get extra supplies for the whole party with the cash rolling in
