I'm okay, I guess. Here's some text from the life of the person behind that name. I like having a conversation with people here, so maybe you care, maybe not. I've been dealing with some minor health and medium mental health issues. Still working on those. Otherwise... You know, I complain a lot about my life, privately. But when I compare it to some other stuff that's going on in the world, I know I'm really lucky. Still, I need to improve myself. My surroundings and circumstances might be a lot better compared to others, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't complain. My life is important, and if I'm not happy with it, I need to take that serious and care more about myself. Always take care of yourself, at least a tiny bit. After all you have to live with that life of yours. Other than that, yeah. I've been thinking about Death a lot lately. In general. And I'm not sure why. It just comes to my mind sometimes, and I've noticed that my life is surrounded by it a lot, and I guess everyone else's too. It kind of bugs me that Death is actually a common occurrence in video games, but we never really care or think much about it. I get FPS games might not be the best games to avoid killing stuff. But still, it's weird to me that we mindlessly end other creature's life's, without as much as a second thought. Is it actual "Self-Defense"? Why do we value our human lifes more than life's from other species? Why is there no other option? Considering the way we humans treat each other and everything else in general, I certainly don't see us at the "top of the chain". I might need to mention that I hate the thought of "human supremacy". Are we really more worth than anything else on this planet? Anyway. Just random thoughts, I guess. Most games are just not geared that way, to be able to avoid Death. And I get it. It's video games. It's made to have simple, mindless fun, not being philosophical about the endless cycle. Most of the time. I had some really good games actually having Death as a center topic. The Talos Principle is great. I still do "that business" (killing) every day in video games. But sometimes, it just bothers me that not more games feature a "peaceful" way. Shouldn't we work towards peace instead of violence? If you made it this far, thanks for reading. Most of you don't know my actual self, and it's probably better that way. I've been contemplating quite some time if I should actually post this. But I like to show that I'm just another person, with their own issues. If you're one of those people who constantly think and overthink everything, then you may understand one person on this planet a little more now.

I've always find it funny that people mention this.[/spoiler]
