Yeah, this observation always causes me to get an ear bug of Shel Silverstein's song "The Winner" that Bobby Bare made famous:This is very true, imagine getting the crap kicked out of you every other day for years. D&D should be like, OK, when you wake up make 17 'is this old injury playing up?' checks.
I remember that movie.lying condescending bleh I just hate people anymore
Louis: Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So the way he sees it, if you're frightened of dying and... and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth. It's just a matter of how you look at it, that's all. So don't worry, okay? Okay?

When every thread starts feeling like this, I know it's time to step back and focus on something else.
