Bad Decisions Have Been Made

[storytelleroftime]

THIS IS A PSA ON BEHALF OF TEAM ABSINTHE! MOSTLY ME THOUGH!

Please do not pull off blood sacrifice.

75% of the time that will fuck you over. Source on that figure: A retrospec employee who literally tripped and got stuck in a chest and we had to rescue. So his info might not be uh, the most accurate thing in the world but still.

But seriously don't. I lost a finger and I got nothing but dark miasma, everyone thinking I was a crazy person, and suffering. And only TWO of those are an ordinary part of my life. Nine fingered typing is infinitely harder than you would think it would be! It's really inconvenient and annoying. Along with, well, missing a pinkie. That's a bad thing.

So I'm putting this up here to make sure no one repeats my mistake, and at least, someone gets something out of this.

Eh, who knows? Does it really matter?

[vitis]

sometimes!
i guess that's right, though. usually not.

[storytelleroftime]

You'll be surprised how many things in life don't matter, depending on how you approach it.

[vitis]

[ ... ]

and your approach is? that most things don't matter after all?

[storytelleroftime]

My approach is more that meaning is variable. Some things are inherently more meaningful than others. Others, like people, can vary in their importance. Like myself. Right now, I'm not a meaningful person, so therefore I am rather disposable. But that doesn't mean that will never change in the future, now does it?

[vitis]

a better answer than i expected, that's for sure

[storytelleroftime]

...What were you expecting?

[vitis]

honestly??
something 100%, unfalteringly depressing! sorry, i dunno you at all, so i'm kinda just going off on what i've read thus far

[storytelleroftime]

Fair enough. I don't know you either.
