It doesn’t annoy me either. Always feels like a release of something I didn’t know (obvs) was weighing me down. I also think ‘thank god that happened now rather than years down the line when it might become a bigger thing. I may set a calendar reminder for myself weekly - (that really would be MADNESS I think).

@LatteLoverLovesLattes

Go flick someone's ear.

This 'game' is really fucking annoying & pathetic.

There are enough really awful things happening right now without idiots doing this. Grow up.

Well yea there are bloody awful things happening in the world so it's nice to have a bit of daft light relief. I am baffled at the people coming here to comment and give the op shit, if you think it's childish and annoying then that's fine but don't give it headspace just sigh and move on Grin

Son of a bitch.

Bigassbeebuzzbuzz · 01/09/2021 09:40

Ffs thanks for that

Dogscanteatonions · 01/09/2021 09:43

These threads are proper boring now

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 01/09/2021 10:02

FFS. But we’ll played OP.

Plastic01 · 01/09/2021 10:04

Funny the first time someone did this, now it's just tiresome and unoriginal.

NatriumChloride · 01/09/2021 10:09

Eh? What on earth is this thread about?

Be grateful you don't know, your life will never be the same if you do! Back away now while you can!

Damn you! I was on about a 1 year streak! 🙈

Alternatively, just Google the Game to find out what it's all about and then next time there's a thread choose to either play along or take no notice of it.

EverybodyIsInteresting · 01/09/2021 10:37

The absolute best thing about these threads are all the people that get all huffy about it.

Yes, it is totally pointless. Yes, it is totally silly.

But it doesn't harm anyone, it's just something a bit to annoy the fuck out of amuse people that don't think life should always focus on the serious stuff.

Or it's a bit of fun that's a giggle when things are a bit serious. What IS annoying and pathetic is coming on a thread you have no interest in to make a snarky comment. Not interested? Scroll on!

OP I think I was pre pandemic so damn youWink

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 01/09/2021 10:44

I'm sure I've been playing this since the early 90's if not before Shock

TheWeeDonkey · 01/09/2021 10:53

Shit!!! 🙈

HeronLanyon · 01/09/2021 10:56

I’ve only been playing for around five years but I suppose we’ve all been playing since developing an ability to reflect/remember.
Honestly I don’t mind these reminders. I know that may defeat the whole point of playing a game you’ve forgotten all about !

LizBennet · 01/09/2021 10:57

You God damn arsehole 😤

spiderlight · 01/09/2021 10:59

Dammit!!

MattDillonsEyebrows · 01/09/2021 11:35

Gahhhhh! This is the third time I have clicked on this.

Think I need to take a good look at myself as to why the thread title is drawing me in each time. Blush

megletthesecond · 01/09/2021 11:38

Gertrude yy, I can't help myself even though I know what I'm letting myself in for.

Jng1 · 01/09/2021 11:40

I haven't played the game for a long, long time and then I accidentally clicked on this and it started all again!

HummingBeeBox · 01/09/2021 11:40

@LatteLoverLovesLattes so anything bad happening cancels out anything fun being able to happen anywhere else? Righto

HummingBeeBox · 01/09/2021 11:41

@RichardMarxisinnocent you can't win it, that's what's funny, and you will lose it. Over and over forever. It's funny because it will be with you always

HeronLanyon · 01/09/2021 11:42

There’s no real withdrawal from the game once you’ve become a player. Quite fascinating.
