There was some upset with my comment yesterday in the POLL about teaching lessons and the tone of the Booth Entity in Chapter 135 and I want to address that.

First off, this show has always had meta tones and yes, punishment is one of them. This is the nature of the show and it’s been forgotten because, well, you’ve just had it very easy as of late. The heart of the show has ALWAYS been this way, look back to Chapter 18 when the entity punished you for pulling the trigger without checking the gun if you’ve forgotten.

This is the show. It isn’t personal, it isn’t an attack on you, it isn’t always going to work out the way you want.

Why?

Because the nature of Lovecraftian Horror is about these themes. It’s the point. Trying your best, and failing. Going to far and losing sight of where you’re heading. Obfuscated truth and the horror that comes from diving too deeply. It is about unexpected turns and evil forces that wish to do you harm. Overwhelming Malevolent entities that you have no chance against.

This is the show.

Please don’t take the prodding personally, these votes don’t have a right or wrong answer. Sometimes every choice will result in a bad outcome, just as is the nature of Lovecraftian Horror.

For those out there that punish you; remind them that it is a show and that you are the protagonist and sometimes the protagonist is not given a good or bad choice, just choices.

And the punishing voice? Well, get used to it. Cause you’re playing someone’s game and it’s not mine. If this we’re easy anyone could do it, persevere, be smart, pray, hope, do whatever you can and finally - accept that the game may be rigged sometimes.
