I work where the Games Cease and I wish you could’ve seen this fucking kid I just had to deal with:
Right off the bat he’s maybe 10 or 11 years old. Wants GTA V. I tell him “You need to be at least 17 to buy this game.” (It’s the LAW) So he goes and gets his mom and I can hear him saying things like “oh don’t bother with the box don’t bother with the box it’s fine” and my red flags start flying up.
So she comes up and I don’t even scan it. I just flip it over and ask her, “Ma’am are you aware this is a Mature rated game?” (We have to ask, also LAW)
She says “What does that mean?”
So I show her on the box:
Blood and Gore
Sexual Content
Strong Language
Strong Violence
Nudity
AND I tell her the game includes player initiated rape and torture scenes.She says “Thank you for telling/showing me this, we won’t be buying this game”
And the boy FUCKING LOSES IT!
“YOU NEVER LET ME BUY ANYTHING! YOU ALWAYS SECOND GUESS EVERYTHING I WANT!!”
And I’m just standing there like….. first off get wrecked son.
Secondly you’re really proving you’re MATURE enough for the MATURE RATED game!
So I’m laughing on the inside because this kid knew his mom would never let him buy it and he thought he could slip it under the radar and I’m just like yeah no.
To end on a happy note: Earlier in the day we had an older boy (13-14) looking for Wii games and when he found out we had all 5 games he wanted he was so happy he started dancing in the store and it gave me hope. That kid was raised right.
(And before people start saying I was “mean” to the boy who wanted GTA, I personally hate that game on principle but I sell it the same as any other game to the people who are old enough for it. But I don’t think any ten year old should be playing a game where you can RAPE AND TORTURE especially if they’re trying to lie to their parent about it.)

Re-uploading this thing. First time it got an unwanted attention.
My headcanon is that WIT are autistic and Mallek loves them and protects them at all costs.
Fun fact: Egyptian gods do not have ‘animal heads’. The depictions of gods are meant to contain a duality, as is important in Egyptian Religion (life/death, red land/black land, chaos/order, human/animal). So when you see, say, Anubis with a man’s body and a Jackal head it represents both his human form and his Jackal form, meaning he might appear in either form. But never as a human with a Jackal head. That is only something you’d see on temple walls for the duality aspect.
How di you know??
I mean it sounds likely but where are you getting your information from?
I’m an Egyptologist? This is literally my job.
But if you want a source, read: Silverman, D. (1991) Divinity and Deities in Ancient Egypt, In J. Baines, L. Lesko, & D. Silverman, Religion in Ancient Egypt: Gods, Myths and Personal Practice. Ithaca and London: Cornell University Press. 7-87.
Thanks for the sources.
I had just never heard about that fact before.
No worries! (I realise I put a full stop instead of an exclamation mark at the end of “this is literally my job” which might have sounded harsh, so I apologise!)
This is a very pure interaction
this is exactly how you should react to hearing new information that you’re skeptical of or don’t immediately believe is true
