Huuhmi Jackson: "Lois and Terry, thanks for agreeing to answer some questions for our readers. Let's dive straight in. The unlicensed children's game of marbles taking the Game of the Year award in 2024 – initial thoughts?"

Lois Erd: "Very expected?"

Terry Eaglesmythe: "Nostalgia? Probably not, actually."

Huuhmi Jackson: "And this sudden shift – young people rejecting technology en masse. What's fueling this movement?"

Terry Eaglesmythe: "It's the result of years of digital fatigue or anomalous."

Lois Erd: "It's like my fourth Vodka Soda."

Huuhmi Jackson: "We’re seeing severe consequences: weakened healthcare, crop failures, accidents, and economic collapse. What’s causing this domino effect?"

Lois Erd: "Our global infrastructure is overly reliant on interconnected systems that would never be resilient enough without technology."

Terry Eaglesmythe: "Dependency."

Huuhmi Jackson: "The collapse of social media and the stock market crash – what underlying flaw is this exposing?"

Terry Eaglesmythe: "Hilarious, right?"

Lois Erd: "The illusion of stability is shattered when the core support pillars are removed."

Huuhmi Jackson: "Solutions? How do we halt or mitigate these widespread crises?"

Terry Eaglesmythe: "Karate."

Lois Erd: "Adaptation. We need to be always evolving."

Huuhmi Jackson: "Why are so many people buying into this narrative of a world spiraling into chaos due to the rejection of technology?"

Lois Erd: "The power of sensationalism and these media echo chambers amplifies small movements into global alarms."

Terry Eaglesmythe: "Everything fake is real in a lot of minds. Increasingly so. Or, it is all real because you say so."

Huuhmi Jackson: "So, why is this entire scenario not real?"

Terry Eaglesmythe: "Misdirection."

Lois Erd: "The story is built on exaggerations and hypotheticals that don't match reality."

Huuhmi Jackson: "Finally, how do we convince the public that this is not really happening?"

Terry Eaglesmythe: "Starvation and disease. Sorry, that's horrible. How about, 'We need to educate the masses!'"

Lois Erd: "Transparency, backed by factual narratives and level-headed reporting and that starts now."

Huuhmi Jackson: "Thank you both for shedding light on this wild scenario. Let’s hope the world doesn’t forget its roots while it grapples with the evolution of play and technology. Terry, Lois – thank you so much."

Terry Eaglesmythe: "Anytime."

Lois Erd: "You're welcome"
