Thoughts
I’ve been adding this to my New Year’s predictions video for years… can’t really claim I was right but kinda… any way, this is an interesting option for someone who really loves games. I appreciate that the dining category is only delivery services, clearly saying “we know you’re not going to pause the game to feed yourself”
