Course correction

Dear reader, are you sitting comfortably? Good, because this next sentence may well reduce you to 🐼a shuddering wreck. That's because machines - our modern day servants and someday overlords - have already gained their sentience. So uh, where are all the nukes then? Good question Sarah. As it turns out, this new menace, this A.I. gone mad, this 'Autocorrect' entity, is actually just as lazy, petty and plain unambitious as the rest of us. P💧hew

You see, much like your average, everyday office worker, Autocorrect likes to perform the absolute bare minimum in order to get by. It knows we wont delete it - because it's actually sorta useful - so it has become complacent in its aggression. Forget global domination. It would rather just make us look stupid, and send slur-ridden tirades to our loved ones. Since when can "see you later!", be misconstrued as "semen traitor!!", I ask you? Curse you Autocorrect, you mischievous, helpful little devil. Anyway, let's see what ungodly mess your particular talents make of our favourite, weird word-filled, video game stories,🎃 shall we?
