Despite what it may seem on the surface, Doom is quite the fickle thing. Rules and inevitability are what make up its essence. For much time, I understood this on a very surface level; understanding the rules in and out provides a playbook which, when applied creatively, can be used in a countless number of ways. While this is certainly true, and very much serviceable, it is merely a scratch on the surface. The surface of the truth of inevitability; of rules and of doom. The simple fact that it is inevitable rules will eventually be broken. Even foes of seemingly insurmountable strength have been felled by small armies. Even the omniscient have gaps through which they cannot see. Be not so foolish as to let this inspire blind hope, but to allow oneself to, through careful consideration and planning, see a path where many see a sheer cliff face. #echochamber
