Which reminds me that I just lost the game.

I also lost the game not too long ago, but before that, I think I didn't actually lose it for a decade of more? And losing it wasn't even because it was mentioned anywhere, I genuinely just thought of it by myself, after forgetting about it for so long.

So my sincerest apologies if my comment just made any readers lose the game.

I've lost it a lot lately, for some reason, after what I suppose was my third multi-year victory streak.

Like, five or so losses this year.

Same here, oddly enough, and every time besides this one was without anyone else mentioning it.

I think once you lost the game once, it's much easier to lose it again relatively shortly after. It takes some long term distraction (and nobody mentioning it) to forget about it again.

Damnit, I am pretty sure I had a few-year-streak going until just now. Welp, off to the grind again, I suppose.

Nah, I won't be fooled again. I won a long time ago and never looked back.

Yep, just lost after I think >5 years. But not because of your comment, because of GP comment.
