Z @dxdydz.northsky.social · 03/10/2026And of course, the unstated 11th and 12th reasons: if you cannot afford it or simply don't want it. That's cool too. Thanks for reading! 030 3
Z @dxdydz.northsky.social · 03/10/20261. It is a calculator-themed card game. The cards have drawings of (and I cannot stress this enough) CALCULATORS on them. 130 3
