Life is like Crawl in a way... or a random rant.

Life is like Crawl. Neither care how much money you make, what you do for a living, or if you have a family to support. Neither care if you volunteer at a soup kitchen that feeds hungry orphans. Neither care if you randomly give $1000 dollar gifts to random homeless people on the street. They are both perfectly happy to kill you in the most unfortunate, degrading, or improbable way and keep right on going. The only difference is that in Crawl when you die you can just start up a new character and rush at that orb until you win.

Have you ever considered a career as a motivational speaker?

I've considered a career as a demotivational speaker. Unfortunately the job prospects are slim, and the pay is beyond shitty.

Honestly though, I only posted that cuz it felt like something that has a bit of a ring of truth to it.

You start life by crawling and you end Crawl by dying.

Sorry to spoil your aphorism but you don't start life by crawling. I have a five-month-old son and he doesn't crawl. Babies typically don't start crawling until they're around six to ten months old.

Just sayin.

Because you have no hesitation in doing it to other people is why. The game's the game, man.

dude my balls are like Crawl. Both no sound, ugly looks, girls don't want them. The only difference is that crawl is a video game you play on computers, and my balls are a sack and balls.
