    It does, thank you! Thanks for reading. I work hard on the meter, the rhyme, the themes, and try to have interesting language.

    Hi everyone. This is not as polished as my previous work (many months polishing every word), but I still like it. Hope someone may be able to appreciate it.

    Mythos

    A tree unwatched does soundless fall

    Without an eye its crash to mark

    And starborn light in vain does call

    While hearts incline instead to dark

    So natural course unseen dictates

    The wave of time as life begins

    Nor, in our barques asea in fate

    Ken we the source of distant winds

    Now blown to gale, now to 'phoon —

    We strike our sail, but none can dock

    Our crafts beset do founder soon

    For to the hours we're firmly nocked

    In time's swift drifts all 'twined we are

    Yet each must pass the stellar door

    Through deep'ning age pass on afar

    And thus return to astral moor

    Nobody even thinks about any of this except terminally online leftists like us. The Nazis will vote for him because they're Nazis, the libs will clutch their pearls and vote for him because they feel sorry for him. The rest of us will get ready to go back to 1932.

    I get intensely bored.

    • I have depression
    • No energy to do stuff or even enjoy things I actually love, like cooking for loved ones, writing code, reading, even YouTube (or whatever entertainment)
    • Intense, sad boredom
    • Drinking makes me super affectionate, happy, appreciate time with partner, appreciate entertainment, love to learn again. But obviously it's been horrible for my body
    • Can't go on benders because I need to hold down a job to provide. Hangovers are agonizing
    • Can't stay drunk - see above
    • Repeat from the top

    Agree 100%.

    • The story is unbelievably good, even if the translation suffers a bit
    • Soundtrack is top 5 easily, amazingly good
    • Gameplay is incredible. The Battle Mechanics guide can be found online which details everything. It gets a little unbalanced late game but it's balanced around regular players, not nuts like me who leveled the whole roster down and back up several times to min-max

    Insane in a country that putatively pretends to be about free speech, you get arrested for caring about Palestine or singing a song with bad words (feel free to be a Nazi though, that's fine).
