...like a first time moderator trying to get people to sign up for their game

[Cook]

...like realizing you're the only girl in the (minecraft) world, by virtue of being the only person in the (minecraft) world

[Cook]

...like a forgotten earring in an MRI machine

[Cook]

...like a haunted house in june

[Cook]

...like watching

The Neighbor

through a TV window

[Cook]

...like a long session of parallel play with your closest friends in Terraria

[Cook]

the parallel play in terraria is so awesome. hellbooks and i would be like off doing our own things and occasionally noting "wow this is so pleasantly antisocial of us" and then we would eventually both come back to our spawn area which is like kitted out with geysers arrow traps and intractable architecture that we set up for ourselves

with wormhole potions it gets even better

"what're you up to"
"underground desert"

Cook has teleported to you

*we do our thing for awhile*
"alright i need to empty my inventory my void bag's full"
*magic mirror*

[Cook]

...like a small shirt with big pants

[Cook]

...like the graffiti on the windows of a bodega
