He warned me not to save my game, but I blanked and did anyway. Apparently there was only one save slot, so I overwrote all his previous work.

It's one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?
And that magnets don't work after they get wet.
It likes bots writing to the site, for the engagement; it doesn't like bots reading the site (for free).
