A quirky, nostalgic send-up to the Oregon Trail computer game, featuring snarky and hard-earned life lessons from the trail. Pack your wagons, find your ride-or-(literally) die friends, and roll up to Matt's General Store with a sack of cash--it's time to hit the Oregon Trail, twenty-first-century style! ...And Then You Die of Dysentery is the perfect send-up to the sometimes frustrating, always entertaining, and universally beloved Oregon Trail computer game. Featuring a four-color design in the game's iconic 8-bit format, alongside pop culture references galore, the book offers 50 humorous, snarky lessons gleaned from the game's most iconic moments, including gems such as:--Suffering from exhaustion is a real thing. (It's not just PR code for why a celebrity went to rehab.)
--If you hunt too frequently in one area, game will become scarce. (The first signs of gentrification!)
--Invite your sweetie to cuddle with you while looking up at the stars. (The night sky was the original Netflix & Chill. Step 1: Loosen up Orion's belt...) With its laugh-out-loud commentary and its absurdist nostalgia, ...And Then You Die of Dysentery is the ultimate trip down memory lane ... all the way to the Willamette Valley.

Modern politics was included, & it wasn’t neutral nor took both sides. Oregon Trail has fans from across the political spectrum. The author has the right to create a book that represents their opinions & views, so my review is a disclaimer for those who want it for themselves or to gift someone that’s a fan of the game. Example: “Trigger Warning” “Stay Woke” - “Blizzards can happen in any climate, especially when you’re surrounded by liberal snowflakes.” While corny & falls flat, it’s evident that while it’s said people don’t like politics pushed on them, here we are, hoping for some humor & getting political propaganda instead. Lessons on adulting? More like still lacking quite a bit of maturity.
