    A coworker asked me if I had any eclipse glasses, and when I said I didn’t, she replied “guess I’ll have to drive home with my eyes closed”. Another one told me she didn’t want anything to do with the eclipse, and that she’d stay inside with the blinds closed.

    Misunderstandings and misinformation are out of hand.

      To be fair, there wouldn’t be a difference between driving with eclipse glasses and driving with your eyes closed.

        Yep, kindly asked her to not attempt driving with eclipse glasses on.

      As someone who has read Berserk, no no. I get it. Nothing to do with eclipses.

          Oh it’s neither odd nor tangential. The souls games (and to lesser degrees other fromsoft games) are littered with references, homages, more-or-less lifts, and themes straight from Berserk. They’re absolutely love letters to berserk.
