Just came over from your YT channel. You need to advertise this course more over there! Maybe feature it on your channel home page or something. If I hadn't clicked on that channel update video, I would've never known about this.

Undertale is one of the few games that made me feel terrible for my violent actions. I eventually just restarted the game and did a pacifist run.

After a point of exploring in yarnham, bloodborne makes an interesting point if the player sneaks around to the mini gun using hunter and talks with him. He states that the plague turned the townsfolk into the monsters and that they're more than just canon fodder. "They're not beasts. They're people." This leads you to question your act of a hunter that slays beasts, and a monster that kills people. Then you go back to doing what you were doing.
