I actually have one of these stowed away in my camping gear but I didn't know what it was called, so I looked for one on the Walmart. I'll dig it out this weekend for proof. It's hella beat up and everything.

It's not like I'd really be mad about it even if you had. If you didn't realize it was a game that would mean you're seeing it for the first time which would mean I'm meeting my actual goal which is to increase traffic and engagement on fedi as a whole, but especially a really useful comm that's gonna help a lot of people but that functions best with a large volume of eyes to increase the odds that someone knows what something is.

TLDR - that's cool, but mostly I'm just glad you're here!

But it would be pretty cool if he showed proof!

You need to post a photo of yours with "@bizzle@lemmy.world" written on a piece of paper next to it!

I'm curious what your search terms were if you didn't know what it was called...
