Today I was in an argument about AI art and the guy said that we artists have to “accept the world we live in” and “catch up” if we want to stay relevant. So I threw a Molotov at him.

Loot that drops after defeating me:
- a notebook with dotted paper
- a Swiss Army knife
- a wool toque
- a retro handheld
- beard oil

Not really doing much to counter the hipster image, gotta say. I was never cool enough for that, to be honest.
Loot that drops after defeating me:
- a weird mtg deck
- the unindentified bone of an animal
- bookcloth/paper samples
- a really good loot the body table
- two scarves
Loot that drops after defeating me:

- ps squirt multitool
- a pack of scalpel blades
- dice
- inexplicably five litres of homemade plastic glue
