Did another sanity check on the 2nd PC and installed The Alters which is an Unreal 5 game. My internet bill gonna be higher this month cause I apparently passed the cap limit (thanks for failing to send me the warning email Comcast) but whatever.

So it's definitely something going on with The Last Caretaker. I have no idea what, tho. For some reason in game …

I know that following a hashtag is part of the Mastodon protocol itself, but since I'm in @… the majority of the time - it feels like it would be cool to:
- Offer a "follow for a week" / month option
- "We'll ask you when time's up"
