A poem for FTL

(From YT) I've spent a lot of time playing FTL: Faster Than Light lately that I should have been spending on something productive. So I thought if I made a video about it I could rationalise it to myself. Also you should check out FTL, it's pretty fun.

This damn game! I have sunk waaaay too much time into it.

It's like an abusive relationship. It starts out all nice and friendly.
It's all "you rescued some colonists, have some scrap" and
"here, have a cool new gun" or
"awesome job killing that pirate".

Then suddenly... FACEPUNCH!

Asteroids, bitch! and now you've been boarded. and they've killed half your crew. Look at you, leaking oxygen and simultaneously on fire somehow. You disgust me. Why don't you just explode already?

Oh... you did.

I.... I see. christ, I didn't mean to hurt you...it's just.. look, I'm sorry. I just ... lose it sometimes.

Come back... please.

Next time will be different. I swear. I'll prove it. Here's a new ship!


And like a fool, I think "maybe this time...."

Yeah, that's why when I see phrases like "rogue like" or words like "permadeath" in a game description I just keep moving.
