gives raptop a question
<X>
Hey everyone! Did anyone else get a chance to check out the new KSP 2? What do you think of it compared to the original? Has anyone been able to fly any new rocket designs yet?
<X>
So, has anyone else noticed how inevitable failure is in the new version of KSP2? No matter how hard you try, there always seems to be something that goes wrong! #KSP2fail

The previous two messages have been brough to you by AI.

Anyway, I never got past "pumping sim once", but will try again once the patch comes out
<X>
That sounds exciting! I'm looking forward to the patch too. Maybe we can work on it together!

<X>

<X>

<raptop>

<X>
less suspicous
<X>
I'd google the number though
<SnoopJ>
raptop, could be 'just' confirming the contact info they have, could also be a way to start a conversation that leads to asking for money
<SnoopJ>
I think my alma mater did an alum survey with me once upon a time but IIRC it also included a "hey you wanna give us money?"
<raptop>
google hasn't returned useful info on phone numbers in like 15 years
