The people weren’t at war, their governments were. Never lose sight of the real enemy.

It’s funny because I’ve cut things off with people and didn’t do the symbolic knife gift, and they keep bugging me. And then the one time I accidentally leave a knife behind at a friend’s, suddenly there’s a definite distance between us and things die off organically. Interesting coincidence, can definitely see how this superstition came to be.

In my family there’s a tradition that if you give a gift of a blade, you have to make the recipient pay a penny for it. Might be related somehow.

That’s not insignificant.

We didn’t even get to fifty. How are dudes in their thirties supposed to make their whole personality about US history a thousand years from now? There’s not gonna be enough.

In the early 21st century, it was normal to enjoy losing the class war, the environment, and endless reboots and sequels on TV. People saw it as normal to be ruled by morally twisted oligarchs with unfettered political power and no vision for the future.

Subs or dubs? Doesn’t matter, I finish the series and then go read the original manga because I’m impatient

I get that. For me the first playthrough carries with it an emotional finality because my time is more limited, and I know I’m too drawn to new games to linger once I have a sense of completion. A game has only to cleverly deny me that feeling, and I’ll spend hundreds of hours on it. Slay the Spire did that well, but I know Silksong won’t - because the story hits harder.

I straight up stopped playing Silksong when I got to the endgame bosses. I’m not ready to say goodbye. I’m lucky to have unfinished business with older games in my collection, but I’ve also literally bought and beaten other games since then as well. It’s an emotional reluctance for sure.
