🤔 if there's NPCs, there's real players. If there's real players, then there's a supply if real players and some kind of demand using them up in some way. That way, I guess, is whatever takes up their time. I wonder how you could track the number and flow of real players... 🤔🤔🤔

Been looking at classes I want to take.. Again. I do this sometimes. I just can't justify the expense, even though its necessary to make the change I want. The cheapest local option - a community college in town - would cost about $10k for one year. That's all I need, though, just one year, cuz I know what classes I want and I know the masters program I want after that and that one year is all it would take to get in. The local university made a hilarious attempt at scamming me. I've researched the fuck out of how to get this masters, so their lie was pretty obvious. They told me I'd need to do **_another_** year to get a second bachelor's. They said they wouldn't accept me for the masters if I didn't. Jokes on them, though - I never intended to do their program. I just wanna ninja those classes and then GTFO. I've been thinking I've been going about this wrong... Instead of paying these other jackasses $10k (and that's the cheap option!), I should just find an English language program in another country. I think this a lot... But I'm still here.
