Oh yeah, I like observing how people think too, but...sorry if this sounds a little pretentious, but it feels like the general level of thinking has sharply fallen, if that makes sense. I feel like a lot of kids our age (I'm assuming we're close to the same age haha) don't really pay attention to the world anymore, and some kids even make a joke out of not reading. It's hard to find people interesting when they have so little to say!
I feel you about the helping thing, it feels nice knowing your advice impacted them positively :) Dude you have to get it, best Pokemon games in a looooong time. You play anything else?
