    If we could get ₱100 for every chain message from a ""doctor"" we've seen on our parents' Viber and Messenger or for every questionable Facebook post our aunts or uncles shared on Facebook, then we could retire by 30. We've brought some friends in the healthcare industry to share about being an adult but still a child to our parents, attempting to achieve peace at home now that everyone's home all the time, and the importance of educating the boomers on how to responsibly navigate their way around the internet.

    Some people shop, some people eat, and some people simulate survival mode after a plane crash or shoot animated mafia men in order to complete a mission in an alternate life, as part of their coping mechanisms. We talk about games, what kind of "gamers" we are, and the evolution of our relationship with playing games. This is a not-so-subtle hint to all the moms that hit us with the "Kakakompyuter mo kasi yan!" growing up: it wasn't just a phase, Ma. Disclaimer: We do not claim to be gamers, rather girls who play games.
