An Open Letter

Me: Okay, so last time we played, we stole a piece of software that will allow us to travel to the enemy’s homeworld. It’s going to take a long time to fully install though, so we need to do some missions to kill some time.

Mom: Can’t we kill time at the bar?

Me: We can go to a bar if you want but that doesn’t make time pass at all.

Mom: What?! That’s stupid. You should be able to just hang out at the bar until it’s done.

Me: Well, you can’t.

Mom: Didn’t you say that the people that make this game read our website?

Me: They posted the link on their twitter, so at the very least they know of it.

Mom: Then you should tell them that you should be able to waste time at the bar in their next game.

Me: I’ll see what I can do.
