I do hate kids. I hated them when I was one and I hate them now.
I'm a dedicated hater because so many of them are sociopathic and they need to learn some damn empathy. I once thought adults were too worried to be cruel, turns out growing up means you have to learn how to care.
You make some excellent points, I hate some of those things also. I just don't like unpredictable goblins in my general vicinity. Individuals are fine, but not the group.
you don't "hate kids," you hate being forced into a caretaking role.
you don't "hate kids," you hate censorship passed off as family values.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the constrictiveness of the nuclear family.
you don't "hate kids," you're just not used to occupying fully age diverse spaces so you're not used to the noise or the many different kinds of needs.
you don't "hate kids," most public spaces just aren't built for kids, and so the few kids you see are always uncomfortable and distressed.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the intense social rules assigned to kids and anyone who interacts with kids.
You don't "hate kids," you hate how society reproduces its most restrictive elements and how kids are powerless to resist it.

We've all been here, or will be soon enough. You'll get your answers if you haven't yet, some earlier than others. Some maybe not at all.
Soooo after playing a bit more i think i'm starting to get a grasp who the princess is - she is a reflection of me. She will always react according to my actions (and grow some more personality in the meantime) But who is the narrator - he sometimes has power over us (especially in the first chapter) and sometimes not. He clearly can't be trusted. Is he one or many?? He loses power the more power the princess gets...and he seems to be disgusted almost jealous whenever our realationship to the princess gets better. SOOO who is he? Is he our self preservation? Our pride? Why isn't he able to see the mirror (something i believe he isn't lying about)
At one time he let slip that we were MADE to slay the princess - so what are we? Are we a clone? What is this world which is completly under his control? Will I ever get answers. I fucked around a little bit but havent found any satisfying answers yet... So my question is - what can i do to really piss him of so he makes a mistake and reveals to much. I will ponder this.
I preordered Return to Monkey Island for a personal joke. Turns out I was the joke.
As for Todd Howard, I still don't believe that TES: VI is going to come out before the 10th console generation unless it actually does. Even then, I expect little more than Daggerfall with modern graphics and a 3D game engine.
Still waiting for Elder Scrolls Castles to be compatible with a modern Android device.
GAMING RULE 1: NEVER PREORDER
GAMING RULE 2:
i love the idea that the doctor is just an eldritch abomination dressed in a vaguely humanoid suit. like this is a creature that in so many ways is supremely, deeply, Wrong, but everyone sees them as a friend, as something to be trusted, because that's the perception they want to give to the universe

[...] the wages of sin is death, but so is the salary of virtue, and at least the evil get to go home early on Fridays. (Witches Abroad)
Take a common concept, metaphor, idiom, trope etc. "The wages of sin is death."
Invert, reverse or subvert it to highlight the inconsistency or issue. "But so is the salary of virtue." (Well, actually, everybody dies, right?)
While everybody's contemplating the philosophy revealed, overextend the metaphor and whack them in the back of the head with the joke like a comedic quintain while they aren't expecting it. "At least the evil get to go home early on Fridays."
He does it quite often and I love it every time.
