the idea of loss, and death is something that i struggle with.
because i know i struggle with it, i tend to welcom eit with open arms.
lately i guess i've been thinking in terms of "what if i lost all of that which i'm used to"
that's a hard topic ... i don't think anyone has an ansewer to that.
it's not like we ever really go into situations like that willingly, sometimes we do unwillingly though.
the closest i think i have is moving countries to be with someone, and realizing how different there culture is. how much i have to adjust to to be with them.
sure that is different. but i am still myself, and frankly i brought a lot with me. including all of my memories and some of my stuff.
i was watching a video about a videogame, and in it the narrator was doing it as if they were the character. waking up amnesiac from a very rough journey. suddenly they are tasked with being a farmer, being given some land, and told it's okay. just live however you want we accept you.
that's such a nice sentiment. coming across a strange place, and beinig able to be accepted like that. to be given stuff like that, and then being able to live life like that.
then a few days later they hear a report about how the capital city was razed by some disease and there will be little to no trade from now on. we are on our own.
as the one farmer in the town, and sure the towns people can help out as well.... but never much in a game like this. it lays upon your shoulders to do everything. to make it so that no one, or as few people as possible die.
would you be able to do such a thing? could i do such a thing? i don't think so truly.
it is such a hard life to live. it seems like it would be such a rough time to be alive. maybe i could survive for a while. but probably not for long, and i surly don't know about bringing along the rest of the small village.
it filled me with such dread seeing this happening to these chaarcters... and then watching as it got worse and worse
as i could imagine terrible things happening.
then some did
i dunno, it's just a thought. how do we approach our locations we live in. how do we do in our culdesac's and beyond? how do we approach our friends? it's something to think about. . . at least, for me it is.
the game grimshire on steam currently, early access.
