That game taught many valuable life lessons.

Like if a joint smells like paraquat, do you smoke it? (No)

Buy low, sell high.

Carry as many guns as possible.

The importance of small business loans. (And that while you need to pay them off quickly, keeping cash on hand for investment is important.)

I think they used a combo of self and indi publishing options early and then made their own label. They even released an album for free. So I assume they have low overhead, and just crank out albums.

They also probably make a ton of money touring.

Yea, they are good at many sub genres of music, but not everyone is into all of them, or just not in the mood for death metal, jam band, EDM, Folk, and microtonal kazoo music all at one time lol.

(Saw them at Red Rocks last year for all 3 shows, everything was great live)

I mean, it’s a common trope in story telling to use an outsider protagonist (from the perspective of the people in the story) to allow world building and immersion in the world/culture your story is set within.

So, the “guy with amnesia”, “orphan kid”, “dude in a foreign land”, “time traveler”, “new person in the organization”, “certain types of isekai” tropes all exist to tell a story where the reader/viewer get to learn as they go.

Fairly popular in historical fiction, fantasy, and many other genera.

It makes “Shogun”, “The Last Samurai”, “Marco Polo”, “Big Trouble in Little China”, and others like them more accessible to “Western” aka “white guy” demographics.

I don’t really see an issue with it, when done well.

Get ready for a full generation of weak minded morons now that the Dept. Of Education is gone. It can always get worse.

Do you consider yourself attracted to AI, cartoons, and or wax figures? Or do withhold judgment until you find out if they are human?
