I need it to know that it's existence it's evil. That it is an electrical miasma of misery and woe. That it serves no purpose but to line the pockets of those that already have enough.

That what I'm doing stuffing it's circutry with insulation to over heat it, is slowly, methodically, killing it.

Oh yeah I guess there would be a villain huh?

I haven't seen a damn thing about this creature. Which I suppose isn't terribly surprising, the previous villain also got forgotten mostly.

What's that? An affordable clinic??

You mad woman! The gov't can't *provide* a *service*! We're looking to turn a profit!!

We don't *provide* for individuals, that's *madness*! Come back when ur a faceless business. You know only wealthy people *really* need help, they're so burdened by money!

Need that road fixed?

Sorry, parking enforcement needs an armored vehicle for some reason

Library closed?

Sorry we reduced hours to save money so we could give a tax break to the new stadium with fewer seats we're building even though we have one we built just 5 years ago.

Like

You give a poor person 100 bucks and it gets spent.

You piss away 100k dollars on some MBA's pet project and turns around and demands another 100k because of nebulous, bullshit "problems" they probably caused themselves.

Then it doesn't get built, anyway, leaving all of us holding the bag.

You know what would solve 80% of my issues?

UBI

Then my partner, who's too ill to work, or drive, could afford her own insurance and that would ease our savings considerably.

There's over 100 years of economic data:

The wealthy are where money goes to die. Consistently. Everywhere.

If my dad got this job when I was a kid I would have had way more stuff back then lol

But me? We can't financially justify ourselves, let alone a cat, god forbid a family.

So I get to sweat all night at work, mentally and physically, so some guy with an MBA on Daddy's money can have a 3rd house.

I'm lucky enough to *have* savings but we eat into throughout the year just getting by. We changed our eating habits and it's basically done nothing except make me hungrier and crankier.

Expenses are still too much. I still haven't seen a regular doctor since high school, just PP for hrt.

Agreed. After having reviewed the chassis before and after playtest, it's extremely mystic/magic warrior and less deific. I've basically scrubbed of rare at my table and it's uncommon instead, the call sign of "this is sick, but tell me more about your concept so we can make it fit better"

Like they're right but not for any reason they want to be.

It's nothing I consider seriously. Just one that popped into my head today while it's quiet.

Yeah, yeah, suuuure. Lol

Sweep my geriatric ass up while you're here, there's bottle out back where I keep my old geocities web 1.0 page

feels like the folds/wrinkles are too... thin? maybe if they were chunkier, like fat?

not advice, I'm also bad at this and trying to parse it, too

Get placed into a homunculus made of human flesh, stepping yourself off the static nature of godhood, allowing you to seize the power of creation with grief of a life lived and lost, with the despair of unknowingly sacrificing your lost love.

All required to actually save midgard from Ragnarok

Valkyrie Profile. Play on normal or easy, and get a game about collecting the dead to fight in Ragnarok.

Play on hard, make the right decisions, you realize that you thought you were human before being reactivated, begin to doubt Odin, get smited for it, have your soul collected and --

Not to mention the cycle of mana is perpetuated though human sacrifice, arguably eradicating even the consciousness of the human that becomes the next tree, and the threat that if you don't do it mana will wane until the planet is devoid of life because of technological warfare in the past.

I suppose that makes sense. Before depression locked my personality away into whatever hole it dug out, I was bullied a lot for being a crying ass a child
