    I’m out of the loop, is it just someone being completely oblivious to the large coal plant in the background, or does the character have like a chronic illness causing them to cough?

            I thought it was some kind of game mechanic or something else that they didn’t understand. I didn’t think it would be this spoiled. 🤷‍♂️

                  The game came out in 2018, I think a reasonable amount of time has passed to not have to worry about spoiling things. I guess I could’ve just said that rather than make a rude/sarcastic comment, sorry about that

                    No worries.

                    I kind of disagree though. There’s always someone who isn’t in the loop and being cautious shouldn’t take much effort. Meh. Maybe I’m overly empathic.

            Not only that, but to reach this point in the post, you would’ve read the meme that heavily implies something bad happens. If that didn’t deter you from continuing, you read the above comment that was asking for someone to further explain the meme.

            If you still needed a spoiler tag after all that then what are we doing here people

            I don’t have the money to buy everything when it comes out, let alone the time. I caught rdr2 on sale and have been plugging away. It’s not the spoilers, it’s smug people like you.

              I love the hive mind coming out of the wood work to downvote comments just because someone else has. I’ve noticed that often here. It was especially bad on Reddit. They see a zero or a negative one and have to put their unreasoned stamp on it too.

              I bought the game a couple months ago and have put maybe 6 hrs into it so far so yeah, having someone spoil a part of the plot just because the game has been out for a while is fucking shitty.

          Me too. I have a wife and kids, and a 50 hour a week job. Been plugging away sporadically for a year. It’s not the spoiler that bothers me, it’s the “it’s a blah blah year old game why haven’t you finished it yet etc etc”

        Thanks for the massive up votes, as well. Been plugging away on my free time. One of the most story-driven games of the decade. Thanks guys. I knew he died at the end, but not the cause.
