Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator is my most-played game over the last month, a simple "line go up" game where you buy, sell, and short against the predicted events of an alien baby's life. These alien babies can range from war-heroes-turned-generals to unlucky foundry workers who die in the factory they're born into.
Each baby life is mapped as a series of planet-specific events like "BOUGHT HOVERCAR COULDN'T AFFORD." For me these lines sit in the same universe as "Pancaked by drunk dump truck driver" from Tim Robinson's show I Think You Should Leave. These are my favorites:
- INFLUENCER HOUSE BURNED DOWN
- RAN OUT OF BREATH DURING KARAOKE
- HAUNTED AT MARKET BY CROP CREATURE
- LEARNED WHAT BOOKS ARE (detrimental)
- SHARED HOPES AND DREAMS WITH COMRADES
- SOLD STOCKS BEFORE MAJOR STRIKE (positive)
- ARREST...
