Video summary
The video explores the surprising journey of a reviewer who initially dismissed *The Blood of Dawn Walker* due to a dislike for both RPGs and vampires, only to be won over by its exceptional quality upon release. Despite coming from a developer with just one previous title, the game received high scores that sparked curiosity about whether it could appeal to someone like the narrator. The experience quickly proved intense and chaotic, beginning with a shocking opening sequence involving blood magic and Mongolians, which immediately shifted the reviewer's perspective on vampires. As the story unfolds, the narrative delves into a dark fantasy world where the protagonist must navigate a harsh reality filled with plagues, starvation, and moral dilemmas that challenge traditional gaming expectations.
A significant portion of the gameplay revolves around a strict time-management system that divides each day into eight segments, forcing players to make difficult choices about how to spend their limited hours. The reviewer highlights several emotionally taxing side quests, such as trying to feed a dying mother with herbs while playing tag with children or hunting for a pig to provide food, only to face tragic outcomes regardless of the decision made. One particularly memorable moment involves the forced slaughter of a pig to save the protagonist's mother, an act that weighs heavily on the player's conscience and leads to feelings of guilt and regret. These mechanics emphasize the game's bleak atmosphere, where resources are scarce, time is fleeting, and every action carries heavy consequences that can alter the course of the story permanently.
As the narrative progresses, the protagonist eventually succumbs to the vampire curse after drinking from numerous rats and humans, transforming into a monster with new abilities like shadow stepping and blood-drinking attacks. This transformation brings both powerful combat mechanics and a descent into madness, as the player struggles to control their hunger while dealing with hostile factions and internal demons. The game forces players to confront uncomfortable truths about survival and morality, culminating in scenes where the protagonist must choose between saving loved ones or succumbing to their nature. Even after becoming a vampire, the story continues to explore themes of redemption and betrayal, as the player navigates complex relationships with former allies and enemies while trying to find a way back to humanity amidst a world devoid of happiness.
Ultimately, the video concludes that *The Blood of Dawn Walker* is a bold and memorable title that successfully blends challenging combat, deep storytelling, and difficult ethical choices into a cohesive experience. Although the reviewer admits to being an outsider to the RPG genre, they acknowledge the strength of the game's opening and its ability to evoke strong emotional responses through its grim narrative and unique mechanics. The game's willingness to push players out of their comfort zones, whether through graphic violence or heartbreaking decisions, sets it apart from typical titles in the genre. Despite some frustrations with the difficulty curve and the weight of certain moral choices, the reviewer praises the game as a standout release that deserves attention for its ambition and impact on the gaming landscape.

If you like games, you already know that
2026 has been an insane year for
releases. Naturally, with all of these
new titles, there's going to be [music]
some that just fall to the wayside for
you. For me, that game was going to be
The Blood of Dawn Walker. You see, I
don't like RPGs, and I don't even like
vampires, so this game was really not
made for me. And then something
unexpected happened. The reviews started
coming in. Time and time again, this
game was getting insanely high scores
from a company that literally has never
made a game before. I mean, seriously,
you go on their website, it says our
game, not games. This is their one game.
So, now I'm curious. Is this game really
that good? Can it even appeal to
somebody like me that shouldn't like
this game at all? That is what we're
going to find out today. A
trying to burn the boy.
Oh, come on. I'm holding a kid, man.
Damn. Are we really going to start off
with killing a kid? Damn. It's They're
not just killing the kid. They're
starting with the kid. Had we met under
a different moon, THINGS MIGHT HAVE
ENDED.

a smart decision at all. Nah. They got

ASAP. I'm just going to let this happen.
Oh, wait. She's healing. I don't know
how. I am life.
>> Oh, okay. He's not a bad guy after all.
Oh, never mind.
>> Things will be different now. Please.
They were they were waiting for the aura
to drop so they could get their meal.
All right.
>> For all of you.
>> Thank you, man.
>> Honestly, strong start. I I feel like I
kind of want to serve the vampires now.
Oh, and the title. They were so
confident in the cut scene they had to
drop the title after the fact. This is
the blood of Dawn Walker. I've been
excited for this game for a little bit
now. I I normally I'm not into vampires,
but I I I don't know. There was
something about this game that just made
me want to give it a shot. Maybe it's
that Bandai made it. Maybe it's that I
don't know. Maybe it just looks good. M
I feel like we got to start I don't want
it to be fair. I I don't like when
things are fair. I want it to be
challenging. Let's go with that. Let's
go with that. I would start on the
highest difficulty, but I'm afraid. I'll
be honest. It's a much better day. No
vampires. No bald guys. No Baraka
clones. Ah, look at We're thriving, man.
We got Where'd you find that? A look at
us guys.
>> Come get the bread while [music] it's
still warm.

pea.

>> Oh, no.
>> Did she dissolve this? Oh, no.
>> Oh, I don't like this.
>> I don't know why he got so mad so fast,
though. [laughter]
>> Like, there was really no reason for her
to like him to get that mad though.
La.
>> Holy [ __ ] She's booking it downhill.
When When do I get to play?
>> Lunka, come back.
>> La. Oh man, I don't like that at all.
Oh, the [ __ ] was that, Luka? Oh my god,
that dude. How? [laughter]
Oh my. I needed 110% of my body weight
to mantle that wall. Surely there's got
to be a better Oh no. Surely this wasn't
Lunka.
Yeah. Uh, [ __ ] me, man. I'm having those
vampire dreams again. Bro, what are
vampires not able to do in this world?
Oh, wait a minute. I didn't know I was
playing a Sony first party game.
[screaming]
>> What? Where did you go, man? Come on.
Oh, no.
And she left her doll and Flash. She
left everything. [screaming]
>> Oh. Oh, she's actually fine. A random
swordsman's about to kill her. There's
only one way to stamp out this sickness.
>> Oh, this is just a bad dream.
>> Oh, she's got vampire powers.
[screaming]
>> So, wait, is this not a dream? Was that
a real guy?
>> Uh,
>> the raki in his blood. You stood by
while he fed me, didn't you?
>> I I didn't know what.
>> Save your breath, brother. [laughter]
>> Looks like you'll need it.
Oh, WHAT THE [ __ ] YO, LUGA. YO, YOU GOT
to warn me next time. No, wait. Come
back. Did the vampire bite make her more
literate, too? She's speaking like
perfect English. Oh, she's not going to
help. I'm not getting the respect of a
one-on-one. All right. L and RB to
attack to the right and then attack to
the Oh, no, dude. Oh, we actually have
directional combat. You can block
attacks from four direction. Okay, so we
also have omniirection left block. Who
wants next? Oh, it shows me where
they're attacking from. Okay, perfect
blocks. Oh, no. Okay, so I can just
perfect parry. I can only see the
direction from the guy I'm attacking.
Damn. Wait, it's hard as [ __ ] man.
How do [laughter] I, bro? How do I
dodge? Like, [gasps] this combat system
hard as hell. I did choose challenging.
I Let's go. Down attack, up attack. I
just don't know how to get out. Oh my
god.
Let's go. That was a perfect block, I
think. [groaning]
[ __ ]
I'm Did I lose? Oh, no. I'm not doing
Oh. Oh, DUDE. LUGA. DUDE, I was
literally in the middle of Toriel. I
blocked left when I should have blocked
right.
Are we chill?
>> What's happening? No. Wait. Is he
getting bloodbended right now?
>> You shouldn't have followed me.
>> I'm sorry. Can I go back to the picnic?
>> But now,
now there's no going back.
>> Oh, now she's feeding me. I know.
>> You're welcome, brother. Tit for tat.
>> Why does Luca hate me?
>> Oh no. No. I'm a monster now. Oh, damn
it. Oh, all that the sweet life I used
that your health is low. In vampire
form, you can replenish health by
drinking blood. I'm sorry about this,
man. Oh. Oh, [laughter]
2 seconds as a vampire. I'm already
sucking necks. Oh, dodge. Easy dodge.
Oh, the claws are so much better than
the sword. Who wants to get that neck
sucked, though? Okay, so can I not dodge
perfectly up? Ah, I'm out of stamina.
Let me bite that neck real quick. Yeah,
coming at me.
M. Oh, you taste good, bro. You don't
taste blood like that all the time. I am
so ass at the combat. If there are stat
points in this game, I am leveling up
stamina cuz this sucks. Weave.
Perfect block. Okay, so blocking is
honestly a little bit better than than
dodging to to me.
>> Lunka, are you all right?
>> Oh, great. What's she up to?
>> I'm fine and you know it.
>> What is up? When did you get so sassy?
You were dying to the plague before me.
Oh, I'm just going to say it. May maybe
maybe this isn't woke of me, but
>> you're a monster now.
>> Well, I wouldn't be if you had ran
faster, saved me from Scander, from
Brenis.
>> I tried my hardest.
>> I tried. I I did my best.
>> And also, you had the plague. You were
dying anyway.
>> Cohen. Cohen failed us all yet again.
>> All right. We were out in the fields and
then I I don't understand.
>> Oh, you'll catch on sooner or later.
So, when did she know she was a vampire?
Was the picnic real? Was that a dream?
>> We have places to be.
>> Luka, wait. Shadow step. Okay.

something I want to tell you. I don't
know if I should. I had a nightmare.
>> I had that nightmare again.
>> Dreams. That's what you worry about.
>> Honestly, that makes sense.
>> You didn't see her drinking the fra's
blood.
>> Oh, so that part was real. That's not
how they turn people.

this off. She will eat.
Oh, dude. This family's a nightmare,
man. The dream world was so much better
THAN THIS.
>> OH, NO.
>> HOLD HER. Try again.
>> Oh, god. This is aggressive. We can't
just force her. I mean, yes, we can.

he considers too weak. I can't let that
happen to her. I can't let these
monsters.
She needs to eat.

her will. No, I guess I will. All right,

>> It might help calm her down a bit.
[laughter]
[gasps]
I'm not good with this, man. I'm such
Oh, I eat meat in real life, bro. I have
to see this kind of thing.
Good girl. Oh, this is making me sad.
>> Over the tide now.
>> Oh, no. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
>> I'm sorry. Keep looking. Keep looking.
You have to see it, Coen. You have to
see it. [screaming]
No.
>> All right. [laughter] Still crowing.
He's going to cry.
>> A rag to wipe your hands and face.
>> Oh, I did it for my mom. I did it for my
mom. I did it for my mom. I did it for
my mom. I did it for my mom. Oh god. H
That's just reality, man. That shit's
just animal kingdom [ __ ] Oh, I'm just
making I'm making excuses.
>> We eat animals. Rakira eat us. Maybe
that's just the way of things.
>> I I I don't know. I [laughter]
I'd like to think. I don't know. I I
genuinely I got no argument. Maybe
you're right. God, that's bleak. She
didn't have a bad life that s I fed her,
stroked her back every once in a while.
It kept the wolves away.
>> Yeah, I mean it's true.
>> Her time came like it comes for everyone
anyway, doesn't it?
>> Can't say.
>> And a cut of fresh meat on top of it.
>> I need the meat. I mean, I did it for
the meat for my mom. There's only so
much time in a day for side quest and
that's what I checked. So, I kind of a
lot of people are going to maybe have
problems with the time system. I think
it's kind of cool that you can't do
everything in the game, you know? Like
maybe I just messed up back in the house
with that girl. Like maybe I did. Maybe
I could have grabbed all the herbs, but
I didn't see it. Now I'll never know.
It's just in the past. And maybe I
shouldn't have. Like if I could do a
second playthrough right now, I'm
telling you, I'm not messing up with the
girl, and I'm definitely not helping
find that pig.
>> We're losing time. You know it.
>> I've spoken my mind.
>> Cohen, your old man sure got up on the
wrong side of bed today, eh? Your name
is Vladimir and a in a vampire game. You
are not a good guy, man.
>> What was that about?
>> Nothing. Did you do what I asked?
>> Yeah, I got the herbs and I killed a pig
and I played tag and I regret all of it.
>> Let's go inside. And
>> hang on.
>> What? What's that smell on you? You've
been drinking.
>> Oh [ __ ]
>> Yeah, I have.
>> You get it from that woman?
>> No.
>> You want to help mom or keep
interrogating me?
>> I didn't I didn't drink there. I had to
drink. That steak made me sad.
>> Let's go inside.
>> You don't even understand. You don't
even listen to me, Dad. I am I'm not
going to bath.
>> She told you how to prepare these.
>> She did. Yes. Not Oh, [ __ ] I I forgot
the ingredients. Not too hot water, but
not boiling. No. Yeah. Oh, I No, dude.
This the AR I hate RPGs. Use hot water,
but not boiling. And then what else did
she say? Oh god, I don't remember. All
right. I [ __ ] had to slaughter that
stupid pig. Oh, I had to do the side.
Oh, it was mixed with hot water, right?
And then there's no other I think that's
it. I think we passed. Oh, [ __ ] I think
it was two spoonfuls of herbs.
[laughter] I don't I don't remember. I'm
just making [ __ ] up. Oh, I'm not cooking
nothing. But not too long. The sun's
almost down.
>> Yeah, that's my fault.
>> I wanted to take you to the clearing
later on. See if you remember which end
of the sword to stab with.
>> I did see your sweet time coming home.
>> Soon as we give Esme the herbs, we'll
have to get ready for mass.
>> Put on [music] our Sunday best for the
monsters.
>> I'm sorry, Dad. I I I'm I'm That's my
bad. And I'm drunk. [laughter]
>> I think the bruise is all right to drink
now.
>> Good.
>> I hope, dude. I I was not cooking [ __ ]
with that. I just I made the second part
up.
>> No,
not this again. How about I tell you a
story? Yeah. About a man who doesn't
know how to make medicinal medicinal
service.
>> Little angel up in the sky.
>> Little angel
up in the sky.
>> Hey, there's my mom.
>> Here, drink. I really hope I put the
right ingredient. She could very easily
die because of this and that would be on
me. Let's go.
>> Oh, wait. Hold on.
>> Dad, if you want to talk about this,
>> I got to connect.
>> I don't.
>> All right, follow me. Oh, now it's night
time. Now the vampires come out to play.
>> Time to go, Esme.
>> No, [laughter]
no,
>> we've got to
>> Oh, but she's talking.
>> The children,
>> they're safe at home.
>> She is walking. I I feel like if we if
we mess it up, maybe it wouldn't have
worked. I think two spoonfuls of herbs
might have been just enough. This game
has punished me for worse decisions so
far. Oh, hey, Vladimir. I guess I like I
shouldn't feel this way but because I
slaughtered the pig. But it really does
feel like I'm walking into my own
slaughtering.
Oh,
see that's the difference right there.
We do not do that to pigs. We put them
on tanning racks.
>> What happened? Rumor is Gremla displaced
the Kenyas.
>> I did not know Sister Gremla. Well,
[laughter]
we exchanged meetings. Does she have to
hang up there the whole mask?
>> Confession's princess too was pained.
>> Um, he's got vampire cloud eyes.
>> May her passing be not in vain.
Let it be a lesson to us all.
>> [ __ ] vampires, man.
>> We need a shepherd.
>> Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ]
Oh [ __ ] bro. Not Nope. I'm not saying
[ __ ] [laughter]
>> I know.
>> You thought I was about to be the
protagonist? [ __ ] that. For he drinks
our blood.
>> Hell no.
>> But isn't the shepherd to be rewarded
for his care? Isn't he to be fed?
>> I am not speaking out of turn.
>> Yes, he drinks our blood and we drink
his. We nourish Princess and he protects
us from harm. Oh my god, this is pissing
me off.
>> Is the May it last forever.
>> May it forever endure.
>> Hell no. We We all don't mean that.
>> No, I'm still going to I'm I'm still
remaining silent.
>> I'm not saying anything positive or
negative. That That's as far as my
protest is willing to go. I'll I'll just
not say something.
>> Welcome.
>> Oh [ __ ]
>> Thank you for all that you do.
>> Oh [ __ ] I don't like this. [laughter]
It'll be over soon. Shut her up. We
don't want to draw attention to
ourselves. I spent the whole game being
quiet during serious plot matters.
>> Oh, stop crying. Stop crying. Stop
crying, dude.
>> Oh, no.
I did not like that. Stand up. Keep
standing. Keep standing. Keep standing.
What does he want me to do? I I don't
understand.
A nasty man. I'm not drinking that [ __ ]
Please don't make me drink that.
>> Those who fear it tremble.
>> Do we all have to do that?
Oh,
>> but those who accept it are blessed.
>> Oh, no. Oh, there's just there's just no
happiness in this world. There's there's
just nothing to be happy about. We got
to get in line to drink this disgusting
blood. Oh, this is this is the worst.
She My mom's not making it through the
night. My mom is not making it. She's
dead.
>> No. No. No.
>> No. No. No. Just be quiet. No. Oh, God.
>> Please.
>> No. No.
>> Oh, God. Don't do this. Don't do this.
OH MY GOD. TO PAY YOUR PRICE.
>> Don't do this.
>> She She's crazy. I shouldn't have I
should have given her three spoonfuls.
[screaming]
>> Blood so thin it tastes like water.
[crying]
>> This herd needs culling.
>> Oh, don't do it. Don't do it,
bro. Who is this guy?
[music]
Please don't do this, guys. My Oh no,
dude. This This is the worst.
Just make it quick and painless. Oh.
[screaming]
OH GOD.
IT was long and painful.
Jesus Christ. They ate her face.

you.
Oh, I hate you guys.
Oh,

Wait, was that Is that her? Did we bring
her body home? Please don't wake up.
Ah, dad's drinking again.

the water and
>> Oh jeez. This This is horrible.
Oh no.
>> Dad.
Dad, don't [music]

the entrance and get to work. Grab as
much silver ore as we can before Brenis
realizes a

no other way to tell you guys, man.

sick. Oh, no. No, no. I think we're
still in the cut scene. Oh, we beating
their ass, though. Oh, we're revoling.
Let's go. We're not taking this [ __ ] no
more. [music] I already have minor's
lung. Please don't make me go in there.
I agree. I agree with this plan though.
We are getting all the silver we can.
And I guess we need silver to kill the
vampires. And I am getting my run back.
Use my mom as a goddamn kids meal.
>> Stronger together.
>> Yeah, sure, man. Is that our phrase? Get
stronger together. Whatever. Yeah. Okay.
I feel bad for the guy on guards duty.
What? What? Realistically, what is he
supposed to do if somebody pulls up?
>> Oh god, they're coming.
>> Oh [ __ ]
>> What?
>> They're here already. Where is HIS MEN?
THEY'RE COMING.
>> OH, just some normal men.
>> Our man he said
>> men lie. Shut the doors quick. [ __ ] Uh
[ __ ] We need to go deeper down. Hide
and then what? They'll surround us and
we starve. No, we stand our ground.
>> Yeah, my dad kind of has it locked down.
>> Cohen, I'll draw its attention away from
you.
>> I'll kill him.
>> I came here to fight.
>> Aw, you do care.
>> Please. this one time. Do what your old
man sure. [screaming]

>> What happened? I blacked out instantly.
>> Dead.
All of them.
Dead.
>> What? Where's my dad? Where is he? Have
you seen him?
>> Not since the attack. No. Oh. Oh, no.
This world has zero happiness in it.
They're going after the goddamn kids,
man.
[screaming]
I'm having bad dreams again. I just got
to find my dad. I just got to find my
dad. Maybe my dad's up here. Maybe my
dad's up here.
>> Maybe. Is there like something I can
tell his hand? Maybe. Okay, it's not
him. Yeah. Wow. For a second, I thought
this was one of us that got killed for a
second, but no, he he means nothing to
me. Do I Are my eyes changing colors?
Have they always look like that?
>> Oh, we found silver. Its possession is
prohibited. Okay. Not to me. It's not.
Oh god, somebody's there. Who the hell
is Costl?
>> Need to cauterize the wound and quick.
>> No, no, no. He's delirious. Put pressure
on his leg to stun the bleeding. I'll
get ready.
>> I shouldn't touch him. No, I'm going to
press the wound.
>> We've got you. It's going to be all
right.
>> Don't worry. I barely I barely know.

I'm going insane, man. This world sucks.
This is the worst life.
>> How do I get out of here?
>> You don't.
>> Oh, great. Oh, now that Now, that is
actually pretty funny. Is this because I
killed that pig? I only killed the pig
to feed my dying mom and then my mom got
eaten anyway. It wasn't worth it. It
wasn't worth giving up all my morals. My
morals of not killing the pig, bro. That
was it. That was my only moral. The
shadow step.
Don't think I forgot about the shadow
step, though. Why did the game give me a
vampire tutorial 4 hours before I became
a vampire? Oh, man. I'm sorry. I'm
sorry, Mr. Rat. [laughter] Damn. And
that barely gave me anything. I got to I
got to drink like 45 rats.
I'm I'm really in I'm really in the low
point of my hero's journey there.
There's nothing I wouldn't give to be
back at home picking up dry herbs,
feeding mom. Uh, it's just it's not that
anymore. Please, can anybody show me to
like 40 more rats? Oh, I'll eat you.
[laughter]
Just hold still. Just hold still. Just
hold still. I just need to drink you a
little bit. So, it looks like with the

dodge. Bro, you guys really were trying

this world? Well, looks like I wasn't
that trapped. Level five, baby. We out.
Claw ride. Wait, what? No way. Oh [ __ ]
Damn. This game, this game has a little
bit of sauce to it. Blood craving. A
man. Hey guys,

>> Ah,

Let me through now.
>> You going to listen?
>> Yas told us to expect you and to collect

>> I don't think he was waiting for us.
>> So, you can drink my blood
like you did, Cost.
>> No, that was an act a genuine mistake.
You're arguing from inside a burning
house. Surely that can't be worse than
this.
>> I know what's happening.
You can't cross the threshold uninvited.
>> Wait,
>> so you're trying to lure me out?
>> Is that Does that lly here as well?
>> So come out NOW OR YOU'LL SUFFOCATE
THERE?
>> Oh god. I am looking at I'm looking at
I'm thirsty as hell.
>> Even now you want to drink from me.
>> Oh, don't give in.

I think I can control. I definitely
can't control it. I have no idea. Yo,
Vladimir, I'm going to be honest. I was
talking so much [ __ ] about you. My bad.
I'm the one that couldn't be trusted.

he'll die.
>> I'm dead already.
>> Dead already. [laughter]
>> I already died.
>> I need to tell you something.
>> What? Man, I people warned this might be
a trap. He told me to call it off.
>> I don't blame you. Damn. Two out of
three of these are super negative. I I
don't blame him at all for this.
>> Makes no difference now.
>> It goes to me.
>> I mean,
>> you'll make up for it later.
>> Yeah, I don't even think this was that
bad. Like, you were right to do this.
These guys are pieces of [ __ ]
>> Is there any way to reach them?
>> Good luck, Owen. Whether it's God or
Satan, though, I pray [laughter] someone
will look over you.
H I I you know what? I was totally wrong
about Vladimir, man. I am the bad guy.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. That I thought I
was going to fall.
[music]
They got the music going. Oh, wait. This
[ __ ] sounds good.
[music]
They weren't part of this,
but they knew.
>> Yo, this music got me amped up.
>> Taxes, chores.
I did away with it all.
And what did I ask for in return?
A pint of blood. Once every moon.
>> That's actually not too bad.
>> More.
Still, you dare rise against me?
>> Honestly.
[laughter]
>> Oh god, he's burning the women and the
children.
>> I want you to watch
the monster. This is your doing.
>> I'm going to be honest. Like, I know
it's gross, but to be to be fair, bro,
like is a is a pint of blood that much?
>> Oh, I'm about to beat his ass. My
>> family.
Ah, [sighs]

We do not have time for this. The sun's
almost up. Drain him now. Never. You
hear me? Never.
>> Spearing the offer of blood. Resisting
your sire's commands.
At first, I thought you were merely
insolent.
But now, now I realize you must have
come out malformed.
Disappointing.
>> Why did you even turn me? Like, why did
you do this?
>> Some mistakes cannot be undone,
but they can be erased.
>> Oh [ __ ] This is what I get for not
speaking up in church, man.
>> Oh, but I'm too good at the combat now.
I'm too good at the Oh. Oh, he's got
unblockables. Oh, he's got unblockables
in his chain. I need to drink some human
blood. It's a good thing I always keep
that on me. Oh,
double parry. Never say that. I didn't
learn the system. That being said, I
just don't know if I have enough stamina
to actually do [ __ ] about that. I died.
[ __ ] [screaming]
Oh no. I'm I didn't even have my sword

It actually is her. I'm too dangerous to
be around you

>> No, dude. Don't ask her to do that day.
I am just a freeloader. Ah, I'm so
sorry. I'm so sorry.
>> Well, with level six, that is where I'm
going to end the video. I'm not going to
lie. I don't know enough about RPGs. I'm
not an RPG guy, but was that not a
really strong opening to a game story?
Like, I want to get my run back. I want
to kill all of the like the four vampire
guys. I want to figure out why I'm
normal. That was a strong open. I I got
to I got to give that one a round of
applause, man. Good [ __ ] man. Oh, this
