I keep thinking about Hell's words: "This is the only way it should have ended."

Should. Not could. *Should*.

Like V1 should have been mass produced, obliterated all the Earth Movers, and then the next machine should have come along to counter it in turn and continue the war. Like all that fighting and the cycle of violence should have been perpetuated.

Like Mankind should never have finally gotten their act together, and tried to continue on even in the absence of divinity and in the face of total climate collapse.

There's a notable difference between 'could' and 'should', and the fact that those words are spoken by the only one who would've been *extremely disappointed* by this outcome has me raising eyebrows.

#ULTRAKILL #fuck it I'm putting this in the main tag #something else I don't really see talked about much (or at all really) is all the shit that happened leading up to The Great War #Yeah some guy getting shot in the head was the spark that lit the powder keg #but nobody ever mentions the fact that all that tension coming close to boiling over had been primarily because of /imperialism/#which as we all know--and are seeing LITERALLY IN REAL TIME--profoundly benefits from war and violence #Just like there were “suits” with something to gain from digging into Hell and sending people there #oh I bet it was /delighted/ when that happened #Anyways I refuse to take the words of a superorganism who gets its jollies from the spectacle of cruelty and violence as**#**the end all be all meaning of the game #The themes here might be nihilistic but they're sure as fuck not doomerist #This has been a post
