That game is awesome.  I highly recommend it!

Is pretty alright to watch, and I'd call it overall a darn good game. I've just found it fairly miserable to actually play. Something about the platforming rubs me wrong, which is a serious problem for enjoying a platforming game :V

"Attack" tends to imply an isolated nature, though. Even "attacks" points more to a series of discrete, mostly unconnected, events when you're often dealing with a very coherent and directed campaign of action. May be the better term for individual instances, but I'd call it too narrow to really describe the sort of thing we're talking about. Abuse may be closer, but I'd still say that doesn't quite fit. Implies a degree of closeness between actors you don't always have with violence.

Not sure english really has an entirely apt term for it, really. "Violence" is just closer than about any other word we have for distilling the nature of the act in question. Directed and intentional harm, backed by some form of force.

We fundamentally disagree on what falls under the scope of force, then. Force within and outside the law is no different, t'me, and driving someone into the dirt with money or emotional abuse is straight equivalent in nature to just breaking their legs and shoving their face to the ground. "Conflict" is entirely too tame a word for what's being talked about, and not nearly descriptive enough of the intent or the outcomes.

For garbage collection to be 5th you'd need 4 figures and... I just don't understand how.

Low training, heavy machinery, heavy weights, toxic waste, even more crazy people than cops deal with (with even less training and equipment), smaller operating teams than most construction workplaces, pretty much constantly on the road (without the stupid-driving suppressant that is a police cruiser). There's just kind of a sundry list. It's not safe work.

Is a soul, iirc. From what I recall, the original interpretation saw no difference between a soul and the flesh. Soul was less some kind of odd immaterial thing than it was simple animating force, back then. Or at least the living part was. Pretty sure that's (one of) the basis(/bases) of physical reincarnation beliefs within the denominations, actually...

Why shouldn't it?

... a human head, or...?
