It isn't that it simply isn't for me, it's that I know precisely why I don't like those games. But I adore TCGs. Which is why I'm making my own, without blackjack and hookers.

      If it helps, I have thsoe same prophetic dreams all the time. For me though, they manifest in the form of very specific buildings not even close to being used how they were in my dream, or in a particular domestic scene lining up exactly to a scene in a dream. Nothing actually important about them, just random clutter and people in a particular orientation around the place. The location ones make even less sense, as my dreams often go surreal. Once there was a building that was abandoned in a location my family regularly visits on vacation, in a highly developed urban area with decent living standards. In my dream, it was a regular mall that suddenly found itself being filled with water, from the second floor. And I was an octopus just swimming around as people climbed stairs and escalators to avoid getting wet. None I recognized, which is also a seeming recurrant theme in my dreams. Random people are always random, no doubt clipped from life simply to serve as filler. But it is rare that someone I am close to is in one of my dreams. Always the distant ones.

    Anytime music seems to be mentioned in a statement it's always accompanied by some type of violence so I've started making the association a lot. I was literally anticipation what sort of violence would erupt during this statement
    But there was the "Faster Faster" song played on the red Calliope Organ, and before that was The Piper's song. I feel that The Piper might have a stronger connection given it outright provoked violence in those that could hear it's tune, and this instance was more self mutilation. The red Calliope was a bit too obscure to tell if the music had a direct violent impact on the individual or if it was like... a curse ig?
    Overall I just believe music thus far has influenced violence. I really like that the music isn't inherent evil sounding either, it's just people jammin and someone decides to kill a man. Sick

    Haven’t looked at everything, no spoilers please, but there is absolutely no way that Martin is deceiving anyone. He clearly likes John an awful lot. Maybe he is just trans? And somehow he feels that not telling them that is “”lying”””? Idk. Or maybe a love confession is eminent? 🤔

      After finishing up to 160, I would like to rephrase my earlier statement. Yes Martin 100% capable of lying to people .
      And yes, He is very much into tall, scrawny, and sarcastic over there.

      @@pugjuice8462 Yep. At the time I was grasping at straws. It seemed like something harmless and heartbreaking to lie about.

      I guessed wrong, but the answer was still in the harmless and heartbreaking ballpark. * Shrugs*

      It was oddly sinister after Jon's paranoia this episode, lol, even though i don't believe Martin is out to get him.
