(excited)
Hey, guys, check out this game MouseCraft. It's like puzzle heaven!
CHOCOLOVE
(grinning)
Puzzles? Perfect! A good joke is like a puzzle for the soul.
CUT TO:
INT. SHAMAN KING'S GAME SESSION - LATER
The characters are now deep into playing MouseCraft. Yoh is controlling the game while others watch or comment.
HOROHORO
(laughing)
These mice are on a mission! Reminds me of the time I tried stand-up in a mouse hole. Good times!
RENSON
(sighs)
You couldn't resist bringing up your comedy career even in a video game, could you?
RYU
(smiling)
I see potential in these puzzles. Like a strategy for our next fight.
CUT TO:
INT. YOH'S APARTMENT - LATER
The characters are taking a break, discussing their thoughts on the game.
MANTA
(panicking)
I can't handle the pressure! These puzzles are more complicated than my life as a medium.
CHOCOLOVE
(grinning)
Life's a puzzle, my friends! You just need the right punchline to solve it.
ANNA
(deadpan)
Or you could just break it.
REN
(smirking)
I agree with Anna. Simplicity is underrated.
CUT TO:

Back to the game. Yoh is determined to conquer the puzzles.
YOH
(grinning)
I've got this. Watch me create a mouse utopia!
AMIDAMARU
(sighs)
If only these puzzles were as straightforward as a sword duel.
RYU
(smiling)
They're challenging, but I like the tactical element. It's like a chess match with mice.
CUT TO:
INT. YOH'S APARTMENT - LATER
The game session continues, with each character expressing their unique take on the game.
ANNA
(nodding)
Alright, this is not so bad. I can see the appeal.
CHOCOLOVE

And I've found a new audience for my stand-up routine. Mice love a good punchline, you know?
HOROHORO
(laughing)
I never thought mice and puzzles would be so entertaining.
FADE OUT:
The Shaman King characters continue playing MouseCraft, finding laughter and camaraderie in the world of puzzles and mice.
END.
Fall Out Boy - Immortals
(Verse 1)
They say we are what we nibble, but we don't have to be 🐭
I'm cheesy behavior but I do it in the best way 🧀
I'll be the watcher (watcher) of the eternal cheese 🕵️‍♂️
I'll be the guard mouse of all your gouda dreams 🐾
(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, I am the mouse in the bottom half of the cheese stash, stash, stash 🐁
Oh, I try to picture me without you, but I can't 🧠🚫
(Chorus)
'Cause we could be immousetrals, immousetrals 🐀
Just not for long, for long 🕰️
And nibble with me forever now, pull the blackout cheese curtains down 🌑🧀
Just not for long, for long ⏳
(Verse 2)
Sometimes the only payoff for having any tail 🐾
Is when it's tested again and again every whisker day 📆
I'm still comparing your cheddar to my feta 🧀
It might be your squeak, but they're my features 🗣️🐭
(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, I am the mouse in the bottom half of the cheese stash, stash, stash 🐁
Oh, I try to picture me without you, but I can't 🧠🚫
(Chorus)
'Cause we could be immousetrals, immousetrals 🐀
Just not for long, for long 🕰️
And nibble with me forever now, pull the blackout cheese curtains down 🌑🧀
Just not for long, for long ⏳
(Bridge)
And nibble with me forever now 🎶
Pull the blackout cheese curtains down 🌑🧀
(Chorus)
We could be immousetrals, immousetrals 🐀
Just not for long, for long 🕰️
And nibble with me forever now, pull the blackout cheese curtains down 🌑🧀
Just not for long, for long ⏳
(Outro)
We could be immousetrals, immousetrals 🐀
Immousetrals, immousetrals, immousetrals 🐀

Fun little puzzle game!

I am 32 years old.
My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old.
When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing.
Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side.
With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.
After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.
Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.
Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.
Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.
Thank you.
