Well, not really WTF but still a sad story :(
Honestly, I'm kind of scared of my Internet addiction now...

RIP Baby :(

Wow... Yeah, RIP baby. Poor thing.

Didn't anyone notice or care to ask about their 12 hour long stretches at the cafe?

You have to be really messed up to feed your virtual baby better than your real one... If you like your internet better than your real life, don't make babies!
