me and don started playing a minecraft world together about a week ago, and it was all fun and stuff and we made a really good amount of progress. it was fun until someone joined, and then more people started joining. it made it feel less personal. it felt so different. it was bad. it started with me and him staying up until he had to go to bed, and now it's him and his group of friends staying up until he goes to bed.
now we're playing animal crossing. it's fun, but not as expansive as minecraft.
