    Prove him wrong and drive my motorcycle into a highway median at top speed 5 minutes later. I’ll be god dammed if I’m gonna let some doctor think he got the better of me.

      If “I’m dying in 31 days” doesn’t work as a pickup line, then fuck my life anyways.

        Doctor says “I got bad news and even worse news. The bad news is, you have 24 hours to live”

        I said “Oh my god Doc! What could be worse than that?”

        Doctor comes back, "I couldn’t get ahold of you yesterday!

    Easy … have a big fat funeral for myself, hand off everything I own to the people I had willed everything to. Tell them thanks. Say goodbye to everyone and leave myself about $1,000. Go off to my parents hunt camp and traditional lands and live out there by myself until the 31 days are over.

    I’ve travelled the world, saw many things, did many things, had a great time but now I’m old and sore all the time and I can’t run around as fast or as much any more. I just like sitting, relaxing and enjoying some peace and quiet.

    If someone told me I had a month, I want to just spend those last 30 days as quietly as possible looking at trees, water and being around absolutely no one.

      Same, except I’d skip the funeral, and on the last day I’d find a remote tree and tie myself there so I could be naturally excarnated:

      The Moriori people of the Chatham Islands placed their dead in a sitting position … strapped to young trees in the forest. In time, the tree grew into and through the bones, making them one.

    31 days of perfect health and then drop dead? Or 31 days of slow, debilitating, crushing agony and pain and then death? I just lost my best friend to perotineal cancer, from diagnosis to her passing was 97 days. She made plans to travel with her daughter, spend time with friends, write a will, etc. but she ended up spending a majority of that time in the hospital on heavy duty narcotics and offer her nut because of them. I don’t think anyone would plan on spending their last 31 days like that but it’s more realistic.

    Tldr: do the things you would do with news like this now… Don’t wait until it might be impossible.

    Find another doctor because that one obviously has mental health issues.

    Wouldn’t be too bad all things considered, all signs point to Silksong releasing on the 14th, so I’ll have a couple weeks to play it
