Neither [personal profile] mother_bones nor I can play video games any more. D gets used to sharing his with us.

For MB, D saves cut scenes with important plot points in dramatic, intricate games.

For me, last night he stopped short of cleaning the entire playground in Powerwash Simulator because I was asleep and he wanted me to see him clean the stego-slide.

I couldn't say "this tells you everything you need to know about us," but I feel like it tells you a lot!

Powerwash Simulator is amazing in general. Cleaning things is really satisfying! There's a little "ding" noise when you finish a section that gives D a bit of dopamine that he's finding addictive (a thing I've enjoyed saying a couple times this evening is "stop cleaning and do your chores with me!").

As soon as I saw a Mars rover in the trailer, I lost my mind. "I'd love that! Clean off those solar panels!"

Then when he was actually cleaning the rover: "Oh look they're simulating microgravity! I can jump farther!"

Me: "If they're simulating microgravity, how come the water isn't floating around more?"

Him: "shut up"

I think this story says a fair amount about all of you.

My goodness—what genius decided to combine the joy of cleaning with almost zero physical effort!

(I saw 5 iPhone apps with that name—do you use any of them, or on another platform?)
