Is it 3AM yet? "Avarice"

 It's a prize in my game, "A symbol of Avarice."

I've been going in circles for hours, let me digress

But what is avarice?
Wouldn't the economy collapse without it, wouldn't Apple (and samsung) go broke?
I'm missing something, avarice gives you a *&%^ job, it helps you make the payments on your house and car.

Politicians would give up and go home without it.

So, why is avarice bad?
invest or be a wicked servant (hmm)

"Thou shalt not covet" But it's on sale!
'K seriously, TBA, I'll find a professional Bombastic with all the answers.

I actually found a few, but they don't make much sense unless you read their tome.

I knew *that* was coming.

Searching the tree of knowledge

Bah. Someone said the word is archaic, back in the 12 century or so. Before money became much of a thing. (Money has ALWAYS been a thing).
Maybe it's something preachers bring up before the collection-plate gets passed.

My train of thought is drifting towards words the extremely rich use to disparage the discussion of money at parties, or at dinner, but I can't think of the words, not being extremely rich.

"It isn't done" (declassee?) is all I can come up with.
They make money farting or eating quiche, so they don't approve of their Lessers discussing it in their presence.

"Money makes the world go around" but you're not supposed to sing about it.

Slaves and underpaid workers can be avaricious, saving up for freedom or the occasional vacation.

But You, Bastion, Pillar, crème de la crème, could never be avaricious, you're just providing for your business and your family.
(Yeah that about covers it): "Avarice" is relative, like time and math.

"Quiet, Unassuming" says the article title.

Something you might say About Clark Kent, a reporter for the metropolitan newspaper, but with powers and abilities far beyond mere mortals.

Is power sexy?

(*sigh*)

You get punished if you click too many times on Steam...I'm in virtual Jail

(for the crime of Avaricing "nier Automata" which already includes the 4.99 DLC but I didn't know that.
"Ignorance of the Law is no excuse", yeah well, Have a nice day.

Killing the final boss and his dancer-giant wasn't good enough, this game just won't die.
Got the Basin of Blood, killed the %$# monsters, DIE already.

O. Steam Jail opened up.

Bye, you undead thing.
