My life was one lived without a single regret!
—Raoh's final words, Fist of the North Star
I've reviewed games for years, and the point of this session is to finally come clean and make a confession.
To put to rest demons that swirl in my head, and say I don't regret a fucking thing that I've said.

Gareth: (describing his recurring nightmares) I'm always holding King Richard's crown! He's accusing me of betraying him.
Sid: (Yeah, that's a real enigma.) Do you think that maybe you're feeling... I don't know... a little... guilty?
Gareth: (genuinely confused) What's "guilty"?
Sid: Oh, um... when you feel bad about what you've done.
Gareth: (snapping) That's not a thing! I'm wasting my time talking to you!

Someday I'm gonna get shot twice in the head when I'm least expectin' it, an' then they're gonna throw my ass in a ditch. An' you know what? So long as I did right by my buddies an' I never turned into a total dirtbag— I won't care.

Optimus Primal: Well fought, my friend. You saved the valley. You saved the lives of those who live here...and of those who are still to come.

Ay, that I had not done a thousand more. Even now I curse the day — and yet, I think, few come within the compass of my curse — wherein I did not some notorious ill, as kill a man, or else devise his death, ravish a maid, or plot the way to do it, accuse some innocent and forswear myself, set deadly enmity between two friends, make poor men's cattle break their necks; set fire on barns and hay-stacks in the night, and bid the owners quench them with their tears. Oft have I digged up dead men from their graves, and set them upright at their dear friends' doors, even when their sorrows almost were forgot; and on their skins, as on the bark of trees, have with my knife carved in Roman letters, 'Let not your sorrow die, though I am dead.' Tut, I have done a thousand dreadful things as willingly as one would kill a fly, and nothing grieves me heartily indeed but that I cannot do ten thousand more.

Ellie: I was supposed to die in that hospital. My life would've fucking mattered, but you took that from me!
Joel: If, somehow, the Lord gave me another chance at that moment... I would do it all over again.

"So concludes the life and times of King Sisyphus...a fitting end to an existence defined by a futile struggle. Doomed from the very start...and I don't regret a SECOND of it!"
You want to know what it felt like? I felt nothing for the beasts I have killed. They were not the first.
They most certainly won't be the last.

"Farewell, my shadow. You, who stand at the end of the path I chose not to follow. I wanted my own world, so I don't regret my choice. I would make the same choice all over again. I will continue to choose this path!"
