Diwali 2009. One PlayStation, one working controller, two brothers.
You were seven and could not reach the buttons properly, so we made the rule: I drive, you shoot. It worked so well that we never changed it, and to this day, in any situation involving a car and a decision, I drive and you shoot your mouth off.
The system works.
You deleted my save file.
One hundred and forty hours. Final boss unlocked. You wanted one more character slot and you overwrote slot one because "slot one looked old".
I did not speak to you for four days. Mumma thought somebody had died. On day five you handed me a piece of paper on which you had drawn, from memory, my entire inventory, so I "would not forget what I had". It was wrong in every single detail.
I still have it. It is in my desk. I have never told you that.

For twenty-one years of unearned confidence, catastrophic decision-making, and being the only person who has ever made losing genuinely funny. Also for the inventory drawing. Especially the inventory drawing.Witnessed by Dev
This year we finish it. The actual game, the actual final boss, one screen, two controllers, no phones.
I drive. You shoot. Standard rules.
This is the reply block. On a real archive it is an empty form; here it shows what Aryan sent back, exactly as the creator would read it on their private page.
Memory check: 140! You bring it up every birthday, of course I know.
BRO. You kept the drawing?? I drew that at eight years old and I have thought about it with physical shame roughly once a month ever since.
Final boss, this year, standard rules. But I'm driving at least once and you cannot stop me.
The cover flashes white, collapses into a scanline and the files type themselves in one column at a time.
