Men are born for games. Nothing else. Every child knows that play is nobler than work. He knows too that the worth or merit of a game is not inherent in the game itself but rather in the value of that which is put at hazard. Games of chance require a wager to have meaning at all. Games of sport involve the skill and strength of the opponents and the humiliation of defeat and the pride of victory are in themselves sufficient stake because they inhere in the worth of the principals and define them. But the trial of chance or trial of worth all games aspire to the condition of war for here that which is wagered swallows up game, player, all.

I missed the boat on the initial wave of Squid game, and now I refuse to watch it out of resentment. I may even go so far as to say I’m not going to waste my time watching Korea-shit when I could be reading, all the while I will be finishing my Brutii campaign on the original Rome: Total War

You probably did not intend the coincidence but Blood Meridian is one of Bruce's favorite books.

when the camera pans by the books the subtitles specifically read "Desire and its Interpretation - Jaques Lacan" which is interesting because Lacan's theory was based on lived trauma as influencing our unconscious actions. Maybe it was implying all of these people came to the lifestyle of owing money and general sketchy shit because of trauma they endured, definitely in the case of the main guy and the north Korean chick.
