Realized I never posted these anywhere. They're several years old (early 2020). You can probably guess what game I'd just gotten done playing at the time I think I intended to do more and expand the set before posting, but never got around to it

You didn’t get it. You were never gonna get it. They dangle these things in front of you, they tell you you got a chance, but I’m sorry, it’s a lie. They had already made up their mind. They knew what they were gonna do before you walked in the door. You made a mistake and they are never forgetting it. As far as they’re concerned your mistake is just… It’s who you are. And it’s all you are. And I’m not just talking about the scholarship. I’m talking about everything. I mean, they’ll smile at you, they’ll pat you on the head, but they are never, ever letting you in. But listen, It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t. Because you don’t need them. They’re not gonna give it to you, so what? You’re gonna take it. You’re gonna do whatever it takes, you hear me? You are not gonna play by the rules. You’re gonna go your own way, you’re gonna do what they won’t do. You’re gonna be smart, you are gonna cut corners and you are gonna win. They’re on the 35th floor. You’re gonna be on the 50th floor. You’re gonna be looking down on them. The higher you rise, the more they’re gonna hate you. Good. Good. You rub their noses in it. You make them suffer. Because you don’t matter all that much to them. So what? Screw them. Remember, the winner takes it all.
