COOKIE CLICKER
I have never known my grandma, and yet Cookie Clicker has provided me with all of the grandmas I will ever need in life. Cookie Clicker has everything one could want: a commentary on efficient division of work within a business, how to run an economy, delicious cookies baked with love...what more could you want?
I actually once befriended someone through Cookie Clicker. He was a mutual friend -- we ate lunch together, but he and I never really talked. My Senior year of high school, we had a class together where we were the only Seniors. We always sat in the back together, and though I said hi to him every day, our conversations ended at that.
That is, until one day, when he turned to me and asked, "So do you play Cookie Clicker?" And that was the start of a beautiful friendship.
That day, I learned that cookies bring people together. Silly online games do as well (that's the power of e-lit! well, one of many powers. And in its own way, I do believe Cookie Clicker has its own meaning as well. Again, commentary on running businesses and economics! How to efficiently become a megalith of a corporation), but it was mostly the delicious, delicious cookies and delicious, delicious capitalism.
