005. Text // my world is unaffected
It's been some time since Retrospec has properly dropped some sort of identity crisis on us, though I suppose it's good to know that we're getting a bit more information out of them now than we were in the past; I'm in no way looking down on small favors and silver linings. Just the same, I wonder for the time being where that leaves us - I know I've asked a few of you about this in the past, and I'm sure that a fair amount of you have made your decisions regarding it since.
I suppose what I want to hear is your thoughts on these people you're receiving memories of, whether you consider them "you" or otherwise - do you still think of them as a separate person from yourself or do you consider them to be the same as "you", and why you've come to feel that way. I'm not going to argue for feeling one way or another on the matter, I'm just wondering how you've come to see these people that technically don't exist anymore.
Of course, if you reject this entire matter completely and just consider this to be an example of some corporate entity you hate ruining your life for no apparent reason, that's likewise fair.
I've formed my own views on this fairly recently; I tend to find it calming, having some sort of conclusion that I can accept as reasonably true for the time being. It's not always convenient, but it's calming.

A fair amount of the reason the world I'm remembering is so terrible is due to my own actions. So it isn't as though I deserve the condolences.

if it isn't wesker it's someone apping from the walking dead to regain cordyceps so i mean ]
oh, i see
...i won't retract them regardless, simply because they must be awful memories to have
you've hardly ever seemed like a villain in our interactions, after all
in fact, i find you quite good company
no subject
...that said, he. isn't entirely sure what to do with that? there's something of a pause, at least.]
Likewise, of course. It's appreciated.

what's the other fucking zombie game
the last of us
that's the one
holy shit why did so many happen in the same five years ]
of course.
i do hope you have some happy memories, however
and if not, then you can at least find joy in the ones you have made here
no subject
I do have some positive memories. The ones that have been made here are better, however.
no subject
i'm glad to hear that then, and i hope you make many more as well
perhaps it's poor of me to say, but i do find this life more important than the one i may have lived previously...
they're important in their own ways, that is, but the one that matters (the people that matter) are the ones i have met in this life
no subject
Just the same, it's difficult for me to quantify my relationship to my past life. I suppose it's something I'll have to consider more.
