Damn dude, why you gotta do 'em like that? Hope someday he finds psychelics or something lol

They were actually pretty grateful, feeling it had set them up for a lot of positive realizations down the line. We play D&D now and they're working on their masters, so I guess they weren't too badly scarred...

How old were they at the time and how did the subject come up?

Not very satisfying answers I'm afraid, they were probably 8-10 and I have no idea how we got onto the topic since this was 15+ years ago.

But why are you proud? Or was that more tongue-in-cheek?

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I get the impression you don't think this was a good thing to have done, hence the interrogation?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wouldn't intentionally give a childhood a existential crisis, no, but I'm sure I could inadvertently. Didn't mean it to feel like an interrogation, sorry. Was just curious.

thats a parents job!
