A sad indictment of modern times:

1. Invited to play physical game with friends 2. Only wanted to play a specific game which had no takers 3. Decided to play by self 4. Found that laborious 5. Automated humans out of the equation entirely 6. ???

This comment is a sad indictment of modern times. Nobody can be facetious on the web any more without someone taking the joke seriously.

To me, it seems like it actually was:

1. Had a Hungry Hungry Hippos game

2. Thought it would be a fun project to automate

3. Wrote a funny setup for the post

4.???

I think Hungry Hungry Hippos was the board game that taught me that advertisements lie. They were not, in fact, "fun fun fun by the ton ton ton." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBYcWhQae98
