Alas, sometimes I forget the most essential of truths, if only temporarily.

It's like a pattern: "I'm right, you're wrong, and you're a heretic for believing otherwise. Submit or else." Ad nauseaum.

Sometimes... I suspect reason and logic have forsaken humankind. I mean...

What is perception, if not a limited, muddled understanding of the truth?

What are lies, deception, misinformation, and ignorance, if not tools to manipulate the truth?

What is the truth, if not true, raw, unpolluted perception, what was, is, and shall forever be?

When Sir Isaac Newton declared that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, he didn't declare that because he thought that was the case. It WAS, IS, and SHALL BE the case, forever, until the paradigm is ultimately shifted. Survive, adapt, evolve. Darwin figured this out. It was a FACT, not an opinion.

Now...

- I know Bioluminescense said Narrative have meetings from 9 to 5. Whatever they do in those meetings, without facts, is only suspicions. But logic dictates they're working hard in solidifying the lore, because logic dictates that angry mobs with torches and pitchforks are bad news. But logic also dictates that, were complications to come up, estimates get shifted, and estimates are never accurate.

- I read the JoJ and every single champion lore because I wanted to see for myself. More often than not, people act based on what other people tell them. It's all subjective, by default not objective, by default biased. I learned that long ago. Reviews are the pinnacle of this truth: the only true reviewer is often oneself. But if oneself is biased, then of course perception is biased by default.

- Videogames made to be sold to the public were always made with the intention of making money. They are coded, modeled, textured, plot'd, character'd, etc. They were made by someone (or in this case, someone-s). Those people worked to make it. And they then give it to us. "Here it is, the product of our hard work. Take it." But sometimes factors come in outside their control, and as a result, the game may come imperfect. Nothing is perfect by default, which means everything is imperfect. But logic dictates that an angry mob will not spend money, and that's a no-no. But again, factors outside one's control.

- Look at Shen: he exercises judgement untainted by prejudice, as is his sacred duty of Watching the Stars. If he were to let emotions come into the equation, then you would have him posting a thread about how he was "lied to, betrayed" and how he wishes the industry crashes like in 1983, like that dude with a hacker-looking username right now.

I'll give you an example: when people read news that a dev went bankrupt and they are saying "they deserved it" you know there is something very very wrong, not with the dev, but with those whose minds were crossed by such a perverse thought.

If I am acidic, then I don't want to know what they consider water. I detest this vicious circle of neverending butting of heads and thumping of chests. It's not logical. It's nonsensical, like Vaas Montenegro (Far Cry 3)'s definition of insanity.

I guess I understand Viktor now. By Zaun's Gods, have humans devolved into rabid shit-flinging "emotional" beasts with an agenda?

I'll finish with a quote I found once: "The costumer is not always right, because sometimes the costumer is a fucking idiot."
