Video Game Atrocities and Altruism

[Guu]

Oh! I remember!

So I was playing Journey. I was doing a self-imposed challenge where I don't collect any scarf upgrades (for the unintiated, upgrades allow you to fly further) and I got a first time player as my randomly generated partner.

I stuck with that player the whole game, going out of my way to show them where every single scarf upgrade was while not collecting them myself. We played to the end, and after the game revealed our screennames, I sent them a message over playstation network:

"Thanks for being my student!"

They replied, half of it was Japanese. My friend who knew the language translated it as a celebration for an achievement. The other half was in english, which read:

"Thank you, sensei!"
