So, she gets to torture us for a year and a half-ish. Fun.

“Wish list of new features in SIM 8.0:

- Pegasus Races, not in the context of the multi-million dollar races, but as in the fantasy creatures.
- More companion animals! Dogs, pigs, mini horses, crocodiles, humans?
- Introducing CAT SHOWS for the companion cats!
- A cool SIM theme song that plays whenever you log in, perhaps of the late 80s heavy metal variety so you know how much of a badass you are for playing with fake horses.
- You can use numbers and more punctuation in horse names, and horse name limits are now 40 characters! Have fun!
- The Steward launches a campaign for President of the United States
- Final Furlong compatibility: Use your own Final Furlong arcade game cabinet to take control of one of your horses for each set of results!
- And so much more!”

Brian, I truly laughed out loud! Can we please add donkey races?

However

I’m disturbed by two things:
- the button doesn’t click (twitch)
- late 2019 is close enough to be a thing. How did we even get to 2019. I’m pretty sure we should still be back in 16 or 17. Slow the heck down, Time!
I try to click it every time I am on the home page! I NEED HINTS!

Very excited but one problem.
I keep automatically clicking on it every time I load the home page. I can’t stop myself; my brain just sends my finger right to it like it’s magnetically attracting it.

You will have to wait for SIM 9.0 Flizan... 52 characters is still too long.

I wonder if the color scheme is going to change to match the button. I'd be all for that -- pretty close to matching my silks! Might be sort of hard on the eyes though....
