like always, i didn't read the instructions, certain that i'd know what to do. i picked a fight with the brown toad, and threw black and white cards into a pot, along with a few sigils. i refined, and extracted, refined, and extracted, repeating this process several times. i was going to make the fattest potion in existence, and kill this bitch ass toad. however... nothing happened. i didn't make any potion, and then the toad killed me. astounded that i had died, i ended the run, and returned to the game's main menu. although this may seem like a somewhat unremarkable anecdote, it actually offers a fairly accurate view into how i live my daily life. when confronted with something that requires me to read instructions of some sort, i don't. it's not that i don't know how to read, i just choose not to, and in the process i suffer the consequences. for example, just last week i was gifted a futon from ikea by a friend of mine. when i opened the box, i realized that it was in pieces, and that i would have to read the manual to put it together. instead, i threw that shit away, and tried to build it myself. i failed, and now when friends come over to my place, and lay their eyes upon my futon, i tell them that it's an abstract piece of modern art that i had bought. although i have struggled throughout my life as a result of my refusal to read, i'm not going to change. in fact, i refuse to change. i will not become one of the reading sheep. basically, i just wanted to ask you to please, make this game more accessible to people who don't want to read instructions. thanks.
