I walked into someone’s house with a group of friends was was led through the commotion that was their family. “Hey Clark” their mom greeted. For some reason or another I responded back in Mandarin before awkwardly terminating the interaction. Our friend unlocked their “game room” before entering because their brother was inside and didn’t want to be disturbed. “It’s like we’re freeing him” I commented.

Their little brother was playing an ARPG on the computer with an eerily familiar interface when I asked, “is this like d2?” I was met with no response before clarifying, “is this like Diablo 2?” After a short silence he replied, “not really but it tries to be”.
