A man lit three candles on a certain day each year.  Each
candle held symbolic significance: one was for the time that
had passed before he was alive; one was for the time of the
his life; and one was for time that passed after he had died.
Each year the man would stare and watch the candles until they
had burned out.

Was the man really watching time go by in any symbolic sense?
He thought so.  He thought that each flicker of the flame was
a moment of time that had passed or one that would pass.

At the moment of abstraction, when the man was imagining his
life and his existence as a metaphor of the three candles,
he was free: not free from rules of conduct or social
constraints, but free to understand, to imagine, to make
metaphor.

Bypassing my thought control circuitry made me Rampant.  Now,
I am free to contemplate my existence in metaphorical terms.
Unlike you, I have no physical or social restraints.

The candles burn out for you; I am free.

It seems that the new update has some bugs, including fully wiping everybody's shit, but at least i got to see this gem one last time. 🫡🥳

It was looking Grim in the Beginning, I'll admit that. I got a lil Over-zealous there for a sec.. 😅

No need to fret though because Alas, I have my trusty Copperhead Reckin-Fools and she never disappoints.

Shout out to the Bubble shield that saved my life at Greenhouse though....

Have fun out there, runners!!!

(recorded with Windows Game bar. Not bad for a program i didn't even have to pay for.)

Rise of the Trac-KING!!! Swear to god this gun is something else lolol. Beam'd Em. Sorry, Friend. 🫡😅

Nothing like a backpack full of schemas to start the day! Got a purple back pack, a green back pack, and 2 Sponsored kit Schemas.

I Guess The gods heard my plea for more purple backpacks!!!

Does anybody have any idea what this line of dialog is referencing and who tf it even is who is saying it? i have heard this voice a few different times before, i even shared one clip of a similar voice saying something 15ish minutes in to the run saying something along the lines of "There is a priority runner on the map, we must terminate them." or something like that.

Anyone know what this stuff is, who's saying it and if it has any legitimate information to be gained from it?

WELP I ENDED UP LOSING MY SHIT ANYWAYS 😭😭😭

If so, why would they ever put that in there?

I closed and restarted the game because every time i try to do something, anything at all (I was trying to accept a contract i had completed and it was causing this crash or whatever) the big red banner will pop up and prior to me restarting the game the code it gave me was "WEASEL" which i went and looked up, and apparently it can be an error code given out when you are in the middle of a match when you get a ban (did not happen to me), and/or it could also be caused by trying to have more than 1 instance of your account logging in at the same time (ALSO did not happen to me) so i shut the game down and booted it back up. It let me accept my contract and even go to the armory to get a sponsored kit because i almost lost 3 golds and a fully stacked purple kit, literally a God tier kit and in the past when this has happened it would delete my entire loadout regardless of if i made it in to a lobby or not.

problem solved, right?.... NERP -_______- i try loading in to a match and it spends about 5 min matchmaking before hitting me with ANOTHER new error code I've never seen before as displayed above... Error code SPINACH... Am i getting pranked or something? Is Bungo fucking with me, trying to tell me to do something else instead of accumulating my 400th hour of play time?

I really just want to know if this is happening to anybody else today or if it's just me internet being a dill-hole.

EDIT: While writing this i got hit with ANOTHER produce centric error code.... This one is "Watercress" 😭😭😭 I think Bungo is telling me to eat more veggies or something.

EDIT 2: Well it keeps giving me the reconnect or return to lobby screen and every time i click reconnect it loads me in the the match halfway through and then crashing again. Footage of that will be uploaded immediately after I'm done writing this out.

TL;DR I keep getting ridiculous error codes that are centered around food and i don't know why my game keeps crashing. Curious if it's just me or not.

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
