    Okay, but what game was she playing!? I feel like the reporter is leaving out crucial information here. We need to know!

      Another article identifies it as a bubble pop game. Not sure if it’s the specific game called “Bubble Pop!” or a clone. Could try contacting the police department for clarification.

    As News 5 Cleveland reports, the unnamed Westlake, Ohio woman is part of the city’s “Are You Okay?” police program. Members of the program receive daily calls to confirm their wellbeing – a godsend for elderly or disabled people living alone, for instance.

    “If the call is not answered, the Police Department is notified and an officer is dispatched to the home to conduct a personal check-in visit,” the Westlake police department’s website explains.

    She probably clicked “Just a couple more turns” after the scientific victory.

    Wait-wait, @TreseBrothers@lemmy.world OP, are you these Trese Brothers?? That’s so cool! Love the passion and charm you put into your games! They’re clearly made with a lot of love. :)

    Also lol yeah I agree with the others: What was she hooked on playing?! That’s how I’m probably going to be spending my latter years, catching up on my library hahaha.

      Steam backlogs as retirement plans definitely sounds like the way to go, lol.
