    In a world without gold, we might have been heroes!

    —Blackbeard, Assassin’s Creed IV

    Everything that lives is designed to end. We are perpetually trapped in a never-ending spiral of life and death. Is this a curse? Or some kind of punishment? I often think about the god who blessed us with this cryptic puzzle…and wonder if we’ll ever get the chance to kill him.

    —2B, Nier Automata

    I am a potato

    —GLaDOS, Portal 2
