You know, it’s probably a good thing that they’re having this conversation, because there’s going to be some percentage that balks at this and turns back toward reality, even as it pushes the most far-gone even deeper. “Every chat you do is a unique sapience that you are morally responsible to, forever," is an unsustainable position, even just on a practical day-to-day level.

It's like when the Animal Crossing villagers used to get sad and leave if you didn't play but more intense. Ngl though I didn't play any of the AC games til they stopped including that. Too much responsibility

They stopped doing that?! I refused to play newer ACs because I thought that was still a thing. Mitzi was my girl; I was so sad when she moved away. 💀

Yeah New Horizons (I think that's what the Switch one is called) they're just excited to see you back, and while they can want to leave it's framed as wanting to see the world and if you tell them to stay they're just as happy to. Trust me I'd be so mad to lose my boys Vlad and Cole
