Be careful (with subtext)

 Today I got a delivery from Amazon, and the bag said,
"Etoile" which google says, means "Star"

But a much older phrase from a very old French play repeats:


Consider:

"A Toi" means roughly, "Yourself"
"Etoile" means star.
I'd hate trying to mumble in French, I might insult someone.



Not that "Star to you" makes much sense in english, it needs more fancy words and declensions.

J'Accuse! Kes ksay (qu'est-ce que?)"toi"???

(merde)

As opposed to Spanish or Hungarian (?)

"What to say at the Starfield Funeral."
I play the game like it matters, although it might not. although I swear I saw a quest rewards-gauge at the end of the quest, but it disappeared too fast.
Ich bin ein donut

It's only a game, but some of the things *in* the game make me a little angry about bombastic philosophy.
In one quest, there are two universes, and I must choose one, while the other (because of my choice) is destroyed.
But the whole premise of the game are multiverses (Please see "Stargate SG1" and any long speech they give to capt. Carter.)
Occasionally in "Stargate" the inhabitants of two universes meet.



But in THIS game. I must choose between a Manager and her employees, or one single survivor of a different universe.
Manufactured guilt. 
I say, both universes can exist, do exist, and me closing the gate from one to the other does not destroy either one.
They hire labyrinth-artist-puzzle people and most of my time is wasted killing the spiders, 

------
I'm wondering why those ghostly starborn wait to kill me instead of just grabbing the booty for themselves.
Everyone is either out to kill the player or a terrorist of some sort.
Blame Biden.
The nicest saintliest guy the game can come up with, hates people and wishes they'd leave him alone.
He's dead anyway, or that's the way I interpret it.
In other words, you can't really be happy and at peace, you're too busy trying not to get killed or running chores for the more powerful.
But this is all very old news, my apologies.


Notes: For myself
Player.setav 03b0 100
Player.setav 03b1 100
player.Additem a 100
player.additem f 9871000
etc (spellchecker is seriously having a cow)
329ABB Gun
2B558B Fuse (for gun) 
ECCED Battery (the one that's always missing) 
165720 Clothes (for a woman)
Not here, six other codes (The Ship. the Suit, powers)
It's the 8th, barely, and I've already played this game to death (again)
And the characters get less friendly with every playthrough.
The latest "emmisary" talks funny.
My doppelganger talks in harmony with herself, and e n u n c i a t e s.
I'm all like, "why does my self talk funny?"
No NASA mission (I liked that one)
But the usual crap-missions I skip over.
Kill this, kill that, it's like they have a deal with weapon-manufacturers to sell bullets.
Where are the shy but friendly animals?
After many repetitions a guy just kills everything that moves, which seems wrong somehow.
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Yeah, like that. We're rehearsing for the red menace, immigrants, something.
