I spent the morning dealing with a VERY upset child.
You see, I found wobble town about the same time I discovered all the wonderful, fun little things that exist over here around smol.pub. That is to say, probably later than a lot of people, but long enough back that my wobble has reached a seeming zenith of evolution.
It's a duck.
This was great, I am fine with just feeding the little guy and occasionally bumping around feeding other peoples. I've no desire to learn the lab, or figure out secrets or the like.
But my daughter decided she would also like to play. She made herself an account, set herself up, and then watched her cute little blob evolve into a cute little... well. thing. This was fine and happy. Then it turned into a weird little shrek girl. This was also fine and happy. Then it evolved into a weird computer thing with a heart. Less happy about that one to be honest. I dunno if there's a way to devolve, or perhaps evolve again into a small blob, but it's ok. We aren't pleased but it isn't life ending.
Then we restarted the computer and everything broke. Nothing to do with the wobble of course, just a random PC failure, but the idea that her wobble (less cute as it is, it's still hers) was sat on the internet, unable to see her and getting sad was overwhelming. We cried, and cried.
Actual real panic in her eyes, It's a scary thing to see for a parent.
Of course, it took like two minutes to fix. Her PC still runs windows, and something in the loading had borked. I just ran the troubleshooter and it's fixed, but my gosh. For a minute the panic was REAL. For a wobble. I better make sure that thing is fed!
