if you're someone who faintly worries not entirely without merit that in the next couple years people will actually come to your house w weapons and kill you(I'm not saying it's likely, but it's not something I can 100% dismiss so I worry)it's as bleakly reassuring as you can get

because I do think the idea in TLOU is that every single death matters. Which is NOT something that's true in allegedly "hopeful" stories where the majority of protagonists as well as villains are expendable in the service of the greater good/evil

This relates to why I much prefer tactical games to strategy ones, in that realm; I feel like a villainous dictator ordering a million-person army or fleet to its death, whereas it's much more humanizing if you are controlling a squad with names like in XCOM

I mean, back before the US President was a known monster of massively less complexity than the average children's action villain, I still believed every US President (and major nation's leader) was a monster. I believed that role might be necessary, but that the person was damned

Once you have more than a certain amount of power, you become a *bad person* even if society needs you to function

I mean, I think because of fantasy literature and the specific stuff I read as a kid, I always thought that if a person had killed another person even indirectly, that would be a fundamental change for that person.

I was bothered by how Luke Skywalker doesn't really change after the first time he kills a Stormtrooper. It wasn't that I thought it was wrong of him, just that even doing that should have mattered more

He's probably killed Sand People before

Yeah, because he's a vile racist who doesn't think they're people, which is apparently canon now :P
