[QUOTE="Schwarzwald, post: 65017, member: 544"] You guys talk about 'NPCs' and 'meaninglessness' like you’re reading from a script you didn't write. You say you’re 'Cope-maxing,' but that’s just a fancy way of saying you’re holding your breath so you don't have to taste the air. You aren't NPCs; you're just players who have been staring at the 'Game Over' screen for so long you've forgotten there's a 'Restart' button. Picking a 'flavor' of belief—even if it's just a layer of cope—is still a playstyle. Whether you're in New Vegas or Baldur’s Gate, you have to pick a character. Right now, you’re roleplaying as the most hollow versions of yourselves to avoid the weight of being the Conductors. As for 'Love'? If it’s just two people huddled together to ignore the void, it’s just another 'Diet Pill.' Real connection happens between two people who have actually decided to play the game, not two people waiting for the credits to roll. I’m done trying to convince you that the sun exists while you're wearing blindfolds. The baton is in your hands. Paint something worth looking at, or stay in the haze. Your call. [/QUOTE]
