ffmpeg is such a great piece of FOSS, it really is a backbone of the internet.

I feel like horror fiction, especially stuff inspired by Lovecraft has done a big disservice in this regard.
Why is hearing voices always depicted as driving someone into madness?
If people were a little more relaxed about, it they could stop themselves from spiraling out of control.
Take a step back, tame your inner voices and make them work for you.
The abyss is looking back? Good.
Take a deep look and learn about yourself, because when you look in the mirror, despite everything, it's still you.

Gary Gygax was 28 years old when Star Trek first started airing and he was 36 when he published the first version of DnD.
I have a feeling that he was very much influenced romulans in his portrayal of dark elves as shifty paranoid and backstabbing.
I mean vulcans are explicitly meant to be space elves and romulans are meant to be a "dark" version that amplifies the negative traits and demonstrate the downsides of an isolationist society (Gene Roddenberry HATED isolationism).
The more original take on that idea of a "bad guy" player race, the thiefling, didn't join DnD canon until 1994 in Second edition.

That video is such a treasure.
Props to Joshua Marchant for voicing all three characters so well.

Not even a metaphor anymore, just stark raving mad reality.
