As Andropov, the game ceased to be interesting for me around 2:30pm, but I was still in a tense mood, which I leveraged into writing a grim “Petrov Day carol” about the nuclear winter we might have seen. I cried for the first time in weeks. There’s a big difference between being 90%+ likely to win the game and being emotionally not stressed about it, especially when the theme is nuclear war.
