edit - Yeah I play video games with violence too, my point is that video games are a mirror that exposes a less brutal image of ourselves than we are convinced of. The truth of what we desire is as often silly or altruistic as it is selfish or violent, even in the realm of fantasy where the violence is unreal as everything else.

    In my case the bodies of my enemies would fuel my armies of the undead leaving a trail of blood and destruction behind me. If the first boss I encounter doesn’t take me out.

      I never understood how “vitality” refers to not any type of armor, but instead an inheret "unkillable"ness until I started looking into wild boars.

      This just made me imagine a sport that contains both and it would be awesome, call it Guerrilla Valet.

    Then I’d be pretty violent against demon invasions of our world. Or maybe I already am, don’t really know how to test it out lol.

    And I’d be eating readily available street pizza all the time!

    “Hey look, someone left a full ham roast here on the sidewalk! I’m bleeding pretty bad, so I’ll go ahead and chow down! Let me just squat over it real quick, I can usually eat a roast ham in like 0.06 seconds (assuming I’ve lost enough blood).”

    I’d be succesful in governing countries and making them prosperous and free as fuck without being conquered.

    Oh, and I also farm.

    I’m either building a factory in space or an organ harvesting drug empire in space.

    I’d just be living in a small town, digging through trash cans, giving fish to the local homeless man, giving beer to the alcoholic and mostly just planting an ungodly amount of fruit trees on my land.
