@korrysk.bsky.social I rely on you to tell me if the story I tell here is somehow completely wrong

The game seems way more interesting than just memorizing life science terms, or whatever we usually did in science class, but also vaguely traumatizing? For me, not being able to trust everyone enough to fall perfectly straight back was troubling. The whole class called me BUTTFUDGER for weeks.

It's possible that I (1) had an asthma attack and had to sit it out or (2) was pissed off about the excruciating trust falls we did every year and just wandered off.

I think about how bizarre the Atwood trips were ALL THE TIME. It seemed like everything could devolve into chaos at any moment, but it never did. For some reason, I don't remember the carnivores/omnivores/herbivores/diseases game at all, but it sounds like a game we would've had for the Apple IIe.

You had a game called Gumdrop or something similar which I’ve not seen since and which I’ve long wanted to find. Gumdrop did not involve carnivores though, I don’t believe.
