[mouthwashing spoilers] Woolie has this to say about the story

"All time list:"

"Griffith."

"Joffrey?"

"JIMMY."

(with Pat adding Ted Faro in between Joffrey and Jimmy)

I admittedly don't know Ted Faro but I feel like Jimmy's sins are much more personal but also much more "dude. what the fuck"

nothing jimmy does has any sort of grander idea, it's just petty and shortsighted and selfish

Ted Faro is the villain of Horizon Zero Dawn

and he is. all time

also listed just under Jimmy was Eric Sparrow

same energy but much less problematic

the thing that makes Jimmy different from Griffith is

you've never met Griffith

but you've met Jimmy.

yeah 100%. you've never met griffith. you're not allowed to meet joffrey

Jimmy is at least ten people you've worked with in the past, and Eric Sparrow is someone who you used to call your bestie

"'You're not defined by your worst moment'? YOU DON'T GET TO SAY THAT."

"You're not defined by your worst moment because you can still make so much worse moments "

tl;dr for Ted Faro is he is an Elon Musk pastiche whose single-minded devotion to creating an Unstoppable Military Robot creates the Death Robot Swarm That Extincts Humanity

and then wipes out the archive of humanity's knowledge on the basis that knowledge will doom the humans that come after them, but really it's "Ted Faro doesn't want to be known as the human who single-handed doomed the First Human Race"

he is, truly, a scumbag among scumbags

was coming to here to see if Eric Sparrow made the cut, glad his sins are neither forgotten nor forbidden

ah sick

"your worst moment so far"

also like

every person in the story is constantly, relentlessly being defined by their worst moments by everyone around them
