4Chan Troll vs The Taliban

Sets a dramatic scene of Afghanistan's collapse and Taliban takeover in 2021. — No Frame (75/100)

At 0:00

A straightforward setup of the 2021 events in Afghanistan. No tricks, just the brutal facts of the fall of Kabul.

Why this score: The speaker is laying out the historical context of the Taliban's takeover of Kabul in August 2021, which is widely documented. This isn't a claim to be disputed, but a factual backdrop for the story.

Original quote: “The year's 2021, and the nation of Afghanistan is in a state of total collapse. The national army is crumbling, and the capital city of Kabul is bracing for an imminent Taliban takeover.”

Describes widespread panic, document burning, and code red evacuations during the 2021 collapse. — No Frame (75/100)

At 0:10

Accurate depiction of the chaotic withdrawal and evacuations from Kabul in 2021. The panic was real, the documents were burned.

Why this score: The chaotic scenes at Kabul airport, the frantic evacuations, and the destruction of sensitive documents by foreign embassies were well-reported events during the fall of Afghanistan in August 2021. This is a factual description of the situation.

Original quote: “As panic spreads, foreign embassies are burning their documents, and governments worldwide are issuing frantic code red evacuation orders to their citizens.”

Introduces a 21-year-old British student, Miles, casually strolling through Kabul, eating kebabs, and shitposting on 4chan during the crisis. — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)

At 0:17

A 21-year-old 'casually strolling' through Kabul during a 'global crisis' while 'shitposting' on 4chan? That's not casual, that's a death wish with Wi-Fi. 💀

Why this score: The speaker presents Miles's actions as 'casual' and 'strolling' during a period of extreme geopolitical instability and danger. While Miles's actions might be true (and indeed, commenters confirm this person's notoriety), framing them as 'casual' downplays the immense risk involved, creating a mismatch between the described action and the actual danger of the situation. It's a setup for a dramatic narrative, not a neutral observation.

Original quote: “However, at the height of this global crisis, [music] a 21-year-old British college student named Miles is casually strolling through the streets of Kabul. He's eating local kebabs, feeding stray [music] dogs, and shitposting about the entire thing on 4chan. To him, the war”

Video opens with a highlight reel preview of a wild story. — Just Vibes (50/100)

At 0:30

They're setting the stage for a story about a 4chan user getting kidnapped by the Taliban. Bold opening, I'll give them that. 😈

Why this score: This is a classic intro hook, teasing the most dramatic part of the story upfront to grab attention. It's not a claim to be fact-checked, just pure entertainment setup.

Original quote: “dogs, and shitposting about the entire thing on 4chan. To him, the war zone is like his summer getaway, completely unaware that the final flight is about to leave without him. This is the story of the 4chan user who got kidnapped by the Taliban.”

Miles's confidence in a 90-day Taliban delay, based on 'US intelligence'. — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)

At 1:44

He's banking on 'US intelligence' for a 90-day buffer, but that's a shaky foundation for a trip to a war zone. Bold. Stupid, but bold. 💀

Why this score: Miles is taking a highly uncertain intelligence estimate as a guarantee for his personal safety. Intelligence estimates are often fluid and subject to rapid change, especially in conflict zones. Relying on a single, unverified estimate for such a high-risk decision shows a severe confidence mismatch with the actual evidence.

Original quote: “he explains that US intelligence estimated the Taliban wouldn't reach Kabul for at least 90 days. To Miles, it was a quick, cheeky holiday. He'd be in and out before the Taliban are anywhere close to the city.”

Miles's 'foolproof survival plan' involving a fake lordship title. — Just Vibes (50/100)

At 1:55

A fake lordship for 15 quid to bluff the Taliban? That's not a plan, that's a D&D character sheet with delusions of grandeur. 😈

Why this score: This is pure, unadulterated absurdity, presented as a 'foolproof survival plan.' It's a comedic element of the story, highlighting Miles's extreme naivete and overconfidence. It's not a factual claim to be verified, but rather a testament to human folly.

Original quote: “Although, just in case if things went south, he had a foolproof survival plan. For about 15 quid, he purchased a fake lordship title online and had it printed on his credit card. He would now be known as Lord Miles. So, if captured by the Taliban, he would simply bluff his way into convincing them…”

Miles's 'total certainty' of being untouchable, immediately contradicted. — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)

At 2:21

He had 'total certainty' he was untouchable, then got proven 'deadly wrong' in 48 hours. That's not confidence, that's a setup for a punchline. 💀

Why this score: The speaker highlights Miles's extreme overconfidence ('total certainty') and immediately undercuts it with the outcome ('deadly wrong'). This is a classic narrative device to build tension and demonstrate the character's flawed judgment. The confidence was clearly misplaced, as the story immediately proves.

Original quote: “He believed with total certainty that he was untouchable. But only 48 hours later, he'd find out that he was deadly wrong.”

The city descends into chaos as Western elites and the Afghan president flee. — Setting the scene with emotional language. — Loaded Language (45/100)

At 2:56

Chaos and fleeing elites? That's not reporting, that's a movie trailer. It's designed to make you feel the panic. 😈

Why this score: The description uses highly charged words like 'chaos ensues' and 'fleeing' to create a dramatic, urgent atmosphere. While the events described (evacuation, president leaving) are factual, the language amplifies the emotional impact rather than presenting a neutral account.

Original quote: “Chaos ensues in the city. Western elites are fleeing and even the Afghan president is forced [music] to leave the country.”

Miles's nonchalant attitude in the face of impending danger. — A personal anecdote framed for comedic effect. — Just Vibes (50/100)

At 3:01

He's taking a 'morning poo' while the world burns. That's not a claim, that's a flex of pure, unadulterated idiocy. 💀

Why this score: This is a personal anecdote from Miles, highlighting his seemingly carefree attitude despite the serious situation. It's presented for its comedic and character-building value, not as a factual claim to be verified. It's a 'just vibes' moment, showcasing his personality.

Original quote: “But Miles does not care. >> Took the most intense morning poo reading everyone's analysis of how much time is left. If I only have 72 hours, I better spend 71 hours goofing off.”

Comparing his dangerous situation to Westerners paying for 'cancer-inducing' burgers. — A false equivalence for a cheap laugh. — False Equivalence (20/100)

At 3:23

Comparing a warzone to a bad burger? That's not a comparison, that's a desperate attempt at edgy humor. 🚩

Why this score: Miles attempts to downplay the severity of his situation by drawing a ridiculous comparison between the dangers of being in a collapsing country and the perceived 'badness' of Western consumer habits (expensive, unhealthy burgers). This is a clear false equivalence, designed to be provocative and humorous rather than a serious point.

Original quote: “People say my situation is bad, but us Westerners pay 5 pounds for a cancer inducing [music] burger. This whole meal cost me less than a quid. Get a taste of the good life lads.”

Miles claims to feel no fear despite being stuck and planning to live on a roof. — A confidence mismatch with the situation. — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)

At 3:47

No fear? He's stuck, embassy's closed, and he's talking about living on a roof. That's not bravery, that's denial. 😈

Why this score: Miles's declaration of 'no fear' directly contradicts the dire circumstances he's just described (stuck, no flights, embassy unresponsive, planning to live on a roof). This creates a confidence mismatch, where his stated emotional state doesn't align with the objective reality of his predicament, likely for dramatic effect or to maintain a persona.

Original quote: “If I'm stuck here, I will live in the roof. I feel no fear, though.”

A friend accidentally posts Miles's hotel name on Facebook, compromising his 'secure location'. — A dramatic turn of events. — Loaded Language (45/100)

At 3:56

Fortune 'erupts into chaos' because of a Facebook post? That's not a description, that's a screenwriter's note. 💀

Why this score: The phrasing 'Fortune erupts into chaos' uses highly dramatic and emotional language to describe the consequences of the friend's mistake. While the event itself (location compromise) is serious, the language exaggerates the immediate impact, creating a more intense narrative.

Original quote: “a friend in the UK, trying to help, accidentally posts the exact name of his hotel to Facebook. Fortune erupts [music] into chaos. Now his secure location is on the internet for all to see.”

Miles claims to have covered himself in a burka to disguise his identity. — A personal action, likely for survival. — Just Vibes (50/100)

At 4:15

A burka to hide being white? That's not a disguise, that's a desperate gamble. And a story for the ages. 😈

Why this score: This is a personal action taken by Miles in a desperate situation. It's presented as part of his lived experience during the evacuation attempt. While the effectiveness of the disguise could be debated, it's his personal account of what he did, not a claim requiring external verification.

Original quote: “Covered myself in a burka so they couldn't tell I was a white guy.”

Miles declares he will either die or leave with 'giant balls'. — A false dilemma presented as a heroic choice. — False Dilemma (20/100)

At 4:22

Die or 'giant balls'? That's not a choice, that's a dramatic monologue. There are always more options, mortal. 🚩

Why this score: Miles presents his situation as a stark 'either/or' choice: death or achieving 'giant balls' (a metaphor for extreme bravery/success). This is a false dilemma, as there are likely many other potential outcomes or states of being beyond these two extremes. It's used to heighten the drama and portray himself as a heroic figure facing ultimate stakes.

Original quote: “However, I will either die a man or leave with giant balls.”

Miles's defiance delaying Kabul's fall by 5 seconds — pure hyperbole for effect. — Just Vibes (50/100)

At 4:51

He says 'delaying the fall of Kabul by about 5 seconds' about a thumbs down. That's not a historical event — that's a punchline. 💀

Why this score: The claim is clearly a comedic exaggeration, not meant to be taken literally as a factual statement about the fall of Kabul. It's a narrative flourish to highlight the character's absurd defiance.

Original quote: “In the streets, Miles begins to lose his mind. So in an act of defiance, he decides to step in front of an entire Taliban convoy and give them a thumbs down, delaying the fall of Kabul by about 5 seconds.”

Miles recounting seeing 'five ISIS cars' after covering his face — a personal story of perceived danger. — Personal Story (60/100)

At 5:13

He's telling his own wild tale of survival and seeing 'ISIS cars.' It's his experience, not a verifiable claim. 😈

Why this score: This is a first-person account of a personal experience during a chaotic event. While the details are dramatic, it's presented as what the individual witnessed and felt, not as a universally verifiable fact. It's his story, not a news report.

Original quote: “The Afghanistan might have fallen, right? The entire country might have fallen. And the Taliban might have taken over. But I still have my dream. And a couple of drivers picked us up, and a few kicked us out when they saw I was English. So what did I do? I covered my face with this. And also I put…”

Miles claiming 'Life is good. I couldn't have anything worse' while in Afghanistan — a darkly ironic statement. — Just Vibes (50/100)

At 5:58

He says 'Life is good. I couldn't have anything worse' while stuck in Afghanistan. That's not optimism — that's gallows humor. 💀

Why this score: This statement is clearly ironic, given the perilous situation described. It's a comedic line intended to highlight the absurdity of the circumstances, rather than a literal assessment of his well-being. It's a character moment, not a factual claim.

Original quote: “Life is good. I couldn't have anything worse.”

Miles chugging maple syrup to avoid airport liquid restrictions — an absurd act of defiance. — Just Vibes (50/100)

At 6:09

Chugging maple syrup at the airport to save a souvenir. That's not resourcefulness — that's a sugar rush with a side of chaos. 😈

Why this score: This is presented as an absurd, humorous anecdote about the character's actions during his escape. It's a specific, memorable detail that adds to the 'legend' of Miles, rather than a claim requiring strict factual verification. It's part of the narrative's entertainment value.

Original quote: “Instead of leaving behind one of his many souvenirs, Miles chugs an entire bottle of Canadian maple syrup on the spot, then boards the military aircraft and escapes the country.”

Miles claims Russian intelligence reported him as a potential weapons dealer. Bold. — Personal Story (60/100)

At 6:54

He's saying Russian intelligence is tracking him as a weapons dealer. That's a hell of a story, isn't it? 😈

Why this score: This is Miles recounting a personal experience, a discovery he and his friend made about how Russian intelligence allegedly views him. It's his personal testimony, not a verifiable factual claim about global politics. It's a wild tale, but it's *his* tale.

Original quote: “By now, Miles had amassed quite a large following, and because of his worldwide travels, even Russian intelligence began to take note of him. >> Well, I had been traveling to Afghanistan five times. Uh my friend and I discovered that Russian intelligence have actually reporting me as being a…”

Miles's actions lead Taliban to believe he's a spy — a narrative setup. — No Frame (75/100)

At 8:31

The video sets up the premise for the conflict — Miles's actions and the Taliban's interpretation. It's a narrative point, not a claim to dispute.

Why this score: This segment describes the events leading to Miles's capture, presenting it as a direct consequence of his actions and the Taliban's suspicions. It's a straightforward plot point for the story being told.

Original quote: “with his $1,300 in cash, fully prepared to open up a gold mine. When he arrives, he starts scouting abandoned mining sites, >> [music] >> trespassing with both his Polish and Italian friends, who also want to strike some gold. While traveling, they even have themselves [music] a quick photo shoot.…”

Watkins's belief that the Taliban wouldn't keep a spy alive — a confident prediction with no basis. — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)

At 9:46

Watkins declares there's 'no way' the Taliban would keep a spy alive, then the narrator echoes 'dead or rotting.' That's not analysis, that's just a guess with a grim tone. 💀

Why this score: The speaker presents Watkins's belief as a definitive statement about the Taliban's actions, then the narrator reinforces it with a stark 'dead or rotting.' This is a confident prediction about a complex situation, offered without any specific evidence or insight into the Taliban's actual intelligence protocols or negotiation tactics. It's pure speculation dressed as certainty.

Original quote: “Watkins [music] believed there is no way that the Taliban would keep them alive if they thought he was a spy. The last moments of his life would be a genuine nightmare. >> Miles, please let us know something. >> He's either dead [music] or rotting in a holding cell somewhere.”

Narrator's claim that Miles is 'all but undeniably' an MI6 asset — a leap from speculation to certainty. — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)

At 10:00

From 'some idiot called me schizo' to 'all but undeniable' in one breath. That's not evidence, that's just a self-serving narrative. 😈

Why this score: The narrator uses a personal anecdote to set up a claim that Miles is 'all but undeniable' an MI6 asset. This is a massive leap from a previous, dismissed suggestion to a near-certain statement, without providing any new, concrete evidence to bridge that gap. It's a classic case of using a rhetorical flourish to elevate speculation to fact.

Original quote: “I remember some idiot calling me schizo for saying this guy was an MI6 intelligence asset. >> [music] >> Yet, now it seems all but undeniable.”

Claim that Taliban are 'probably' holding him for ransom and negotiating — a confident assumption. — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)

At 10:08

The speaker says 'probably' twice, then declares 'no point in killing a rich Westerner' as if it's a universal law. That's not insight, that's just wishful thinking with a confident tone. 🔥

Why this score: The speaker confidently asserts that the Taliban are 'probably' holding Miles for ransom and are in negotiations, based on the assumption that there's 'no point in killing a rich Westerner.' This is a speculative statement presented with a high degree of certainty, without any actual evidence of ransom demands or ongoing negotiations. It's an assumption about the motivations and actions of a complex organization, framed as a logical conclusion.

Original quote: “They are probably holding him ransom. There's no point in killing a rich Westerner, so they are probably in negotiations.”

Miles plays Russian roulette with the Taliban, they laugh and decide he's not a spy. — A wild story, but it's a personal anecdote. — Personal Story (60/100)

At 10:30

This whole 'Russian roulette with the Taliban' bit? It's a story, not a verifiable event. Sounds like something you'd tell at a bar, not a court. 😈

Why this score: The speaker recounts a highly improbable and dramatic personal experience involving Miles and the Taliban. While presented as fact, such an extreme and specific event would typically lack independent verification, making it a personal anecdote rather than a factual claim to be checked against external evidence. It's a tale, not a verifiable report.

Original quote: “to see if it's loaded. Having absolutely no idea what to do, Miles makes a split-second decision. He raises the barrel, points it directly at himself, and pulls the trigger. But, nothing happens, and he survives. Right after, he immediately points it at the Taliban commander and pulls the trigger…”

Miles trolls the Taliban, watches Barbie with them, and gets an Xbox. — A wild, unverifiable personal story. — Personal Story (60/100)

At 11:08

This entire saga of Miles trolling the Taliban, getting an Xbox, and watching the Barbie movie with them? Pure, unadulterated personal narrative. It's a story, not a fact. 😈

Why this score: The speaker continues with a highly detailed and extraordinary personal account of Miles's time as a prisoner, including specific interactions, privileges (Xbox, pizza, Barbie movie), and even chasing Taliban members with an AK-47. These are presented as personal experiences and anecdotes, not claims that can be independently verified through external sources. It's a compelling narrative, but it remains a personal story.

Original quote: “But, a few days later, Miles' luck ran out. One of his two friends cracked under questioning. Desperate to get home, he made a deal with the Taliban and told them that Miles was really a spy. Soon after, both of his friends were released. Miles, however, was dragged to the basement, chained up, and…”

The Foreign Office spent eight months in intense negotiations for Miles' release. — No Frame (75/100)

At 13:03

This is just setting the scene, giving context to the situation. Nothing tricky here. 😈

Why this score: The speaker is providing background information about the efforts made by the British government to secure the release of Miles Routledge. This is presented as factual context for the story.

Original quote: “Back in London, the Foreign Office spent eight grueling months in intense behind-closed-doors negotiations.”

British government issued a public apology to the Taliban to secure Miles' release. — No Frame (75/100)

At 13:08

A public apology from a government? That's a hell of a price for one tourist. 💀

Why this score: The claim that the British government issued a formal public apology to the Taliban to secure the release of Miles Routledge and others is a significant detail. This is presented as a direct consequence of their policy against paying ransoms.

Original quote: “Because they don't pay ransoms, the British government had to issue a formal public apology to the Taliban just to secure the release of Miles along with a few random Brits who were also captured.”

Miles claims his release was entirely due to his own efforts. — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)

At 13:36

He says 'it was all him' right after they detailed eight months of diplomatic hell. Bold. Stupid, but bold. 😈

Why this score: The speaker highlights a discrepancy between the official narrative of intense diplomatic negotiations and Miles' personal account, where he claims his release was solely due to his own actions. This sets up a clear contrast in perspectives.

Original quote: “But if you ask Miles how he got out, it was all him.”

Miles claims his release was simply due to paperwork after a 6-month sentence, not a government deal. — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)

At 13:49

He's dismissing months of 'grueling negotiations' as 'paperwork.' That's not a story, that's a delusion with a microphone. 💀

Why this score: Miles Routledge directly contradicts the previous statement about government negotiations, asserting that his release was a simple matter of completing a 6-month sentence and paperwork. This is a clear confidence mismatch, as he's presenting his personal experience as the sole truth against a broader, more complex diplomatic effort.

Original quote: “There wasn't an exchange, it wasn't a back-end deal between governments. I was formally sentenced [music] to 6 months of prison. And I got released when the paperwork was done.”

Miles claims the Taliban were sad to see him go, showered him with gifts, and invited him back with business licenses. — Personal Story (60/100)

At 13:56

Sad to see him go? Gifts? Invited back? That's not a hostage situation, that's a gap year with extra steps. 😈

Why this score: Miles is recounting his personal experience and perception of his captors. While it's his subjective account, it's presented as a factual description of events from his perspective, painting a picture that starkly contrasts with typical expectations of being held by the Taliban. It's his story, not a verifiable claim about the Taliban's general disposition.

Original quote: “Everyone was actually very sad to see me go, which was rather fun to see. I got showered with gifts from the Taliban, and they formally invited me back saying, "Hey, I know you made a mistake, but when you come back, you will get you every license you need."”

Miles secured gold mine licenses from Taliban ministers by pitching his idea and promising foreign investment. — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)

At 14:09

He's claiming he charmed the Taliban into giving him gold mine licenses. That's not negotiation, that's a fantasy novel with a business plan. 💀

Why this score: The speaker is presenting Miles's version of events, where he personally convinced Taliban ministers to grant him business licenses for a gold mine. This is a highly improbable claim given the context and the nature of the Taliban regime, suggesting a significant mismatch between the confidence of the claim and the likely reality. It sounds like a self-aggrandizing narrative.

Original quote: “that through his personal pitches of the gold mine idea to the Taliban, he was able to convince them that if they let him go, he'll come back with foreign money to help jump-start the economy. By the end of his 8-month imprisonment, they had grown so fond of him that before he left, he actually sat…”

The speaker is just reacting to the story, no claims here. — Just Vibes (50/100)

At 14:39

Pure fanboy energy, celebrating a 'win' for Lord Miles. It's all about the feels, not facts. 😈

Why this score: This is a direct quote from a reaction image/meme, not a factual claim. It's meant to convey excitement and approval of the preceding narrative, leaning into the 'Lord Miles' persona as a folk hero. It's just a vibe, not a statement to be fact-checked.

Original quote: “>> My face when it's real. Based Lord Miles did it again. Lord Miles is back.”

A dismissive, moralizing comment on the situation. — Just Vibes (50/100)

At 14:45

Oh, the moral high ground. Someone's upset about 'national resources' being used on a 'troll.' 🙄

Why this score: This is a judgmental comment expressing disapproval of Miles's actions, framing them as a waste of resources. It's an opinion, not a factual claim, and serves as a counterpoint to the celebratory tone of the previous comment. It's just a vibe, not a statement to be fact-checked.

Original quote: “>> Don't waste national resources being an idiot.”

Claiming the Taliban gave Miles a compound in Kabul for his 'false imprisonment.' — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)

At 15:35

A compound in Kabul from the Taliban for 'false imprisonment'? That's a hell of a severance package. Sounds like a tall tale. 💀

Why this score: The claim that the Taliban, after 'falsely imprisoning' someone, would then reward them with a compound in Kabul for 'free visits anytime' stretches credulity. While the story of Lord Miles is often exaggerated, this specific detail lacks any corroborating evidence in public reports or the provided web context. It feels more like a dramatic embellishment to an already wild narrative, presented with a certainty that doesn't match the extraordinary nature of the alleged gift.

Original quote: “For spending eight months falsely imprisoned, the Taliban gave [music] him a compound right in Kabul, so he's free to come visit them anytime.”

Claiming Miles is rumored to possess Osama bin Laden's last car and is trying to smuggle it out. — Anonymous Authority (45/100)

At 16:10

He's 'rumored' to have Bin Laden's car? That's not a claim, that's gossip with a price tag. 😈

Why this score: The claim relies entirely on 'rumor' without citing any specific source or evidence. While Miles's exploits are often sensationalized, presenting such an extraordinary claim as a 'rumor' allows the speaker to introduce it without accountability. The idea of possessing and smuggling such a historically significant (and potentially dangerous) item is a massive assertion that requires more than just a whisper.

Original quote: “Nowadays, Miles pursues random business ventures in Afghanistan, and is rumored to be in possession of Osama bin Laden's last car. He's even trying to smuggle it out so he can sell it to a museum.”

Comparing his 'holiday' in Taliban jail to actual spies' torture — a wild flex. — False Equivalence (20/100)

At 16:30

He's equating his 'lovely time' in a Taliban jail with the actual torture of spies. That's not a comparison, that's delusion. 💀

Why this score: The speaker is drawing a direct comparison between his experience in Taliban custody, which he describes as a 'lovely holiday' and good for 'weight loss,' and the 'horror stories' of actual spies who were given minimal food and no freedom. This is a false equivalence; his experience, while perhaps less severe than others, is not comparable to the systemic deprivation and torture described by the spies. He's downplaying a serious situation for shock value.

Original quote: “I got MI6 to kind of Uber eats me a burger, which was kind of fun. I I like I like bragging about that. It's quite fun. And yeah, and also when I got out of Taliban jail, you know, three people I met who were actual spies, and they were telling me like all these stories about how they were given a…”

Claiming he found Osama bin Laden's Hilux and turned down $800,000 for it. — Confidence Mismatch (45/100)

At 17:06

He's 'likely' found Bin Laden's truck and turned down $800k. Bold claims for a 'likely.' 🚩

Why this score: The speaker claims to have found Osama bin Laden's Hilux, citing 'identifying details' and a fitting spare key as proof, concluding 'it's likely his.' He then states he declined an $800,000 offer because he wants 'more.' While the story is wild, the jump from 'likely his' to a specific, high-value offer and rejection without more concrete verification (like VIN matching, forensic analysis, or independent confirmation) shows a confidence that doesn't quite match the evidence presented. It's a grand tale, but the 'likely' is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Original quote: “And I thought it was quite about quite funny. About a year and a half ago, I came across some photos of Osama bin Laden next to a Hilux and also driving one. And I thought, "Huh, I wonder what's happened to the Hilux?" So, I asked the villagers on my last visit. So, um we go on a hunt. I spent 3…”
