Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this here “enjoy the taste of steel lol” thingy. Sounds like somethin’ my grandson would yell when he’s playin’ them video games all day. He’s always hollerin’ ’bout “tanks” and “damage” and whatnot. Don’t make a lick of sense to me, but he seems to like it.
Now, from what I gathered, this “steel” business is about some fella named Jayce in a game called League of Legends. Never heard of him, but sounds like he’s a tough cookie. This game, it’s got all sorts of characters and stories, like that Arcane show on the TV. My niece watches it, says it’s got magic and fightin’. Kids these days, always with the magic and fightin’.
- Jayce is tough
- League of Legends got stories
- Arcane has magic
Anyway, this Jayce fella, they say he’s good in the “Toplane.” That’s like the top of the field, I reckon, where the tough guys go. He’s probably got a big ol’ sword or somethin’, makes folks taste steel, whatever that means. Probably hurts real bad. My grandson, he talks about “leveling up” and gettin’ stronger. Sounds like hard work to me. Back in my day, if you wanted to be strong, you hauled hay bales, not clickety-clacked on a computer.
Then there’s this other fella, Tahm Kench. Sounds like a frog’s name, if you ask me. He’s got “quotes,” whatever that means. Probably says funny stuff while he’s beatin’ folks up. My grandson’s always quotin’ these game characters, walkin’ around the house yellin’, “Their bones will whet my blade!” Scared the cat half to death the other day.
Now, about tastin’ that steel, sounds like it’s about fightin’. This Jayce, he probably jumps in and starts swingin’ as soon as he can. They say somethin’ about “level 2” and “W” then “Q”. Sounds like alphabet soup to me, but I guess it means he’s got special moves. Like when my rooster, Old Beaky, jumps up and pecks ya. Quick as lightning, that one.
Fighting is fighting, whether it’s with swords or beaks, I guess. And this game, it’s got lots of fightin’. Folks buildin’ their characters, makin’ ’em strong, learnin’ their moves. They call ’em “build guides” and “strategy,” but it’s all just fancy words for figurin’ out how to win a fight. My grandson, he’s always lookin’ up these guides, tryin’ to make his characters the best.
They say this Jayce character says things like, “Enjoy the taste of steel!” and “Another body for the gutter.” Sounds kinda mean, if you ask me. But I guess that’s how it is in these games. Gotta be tough, gotta be mean, gotta win. Not like the old days, when folks just argued over whose cow got into whose garden.
There’s even talk about a fella named Talon. Sounds like a bird’s name, or maybe a sharp fingernail. He’s mixed up in this steel tastin’ business too, seems like. Probably another one of them tough guys. They got guides for him too, tellin’ folks how to play him best. My grandson’s got whole folders full of this stuff. I tell him, he should be studyin’ his school books instead of studyin’ how to make some fake fella swing a fake sword.
- Talon is also involved
- Build guides are important
- Jayce is mean
This whole League of Legends thing, it’s a whole ‘nother world. Folks gettin’ all worked up over characters and battles and tastin’ steel. Me, I’d rather taste a good apple pie, but to each their own, I guess. Just seems like a lot of fuss over nothin’ much. But hey, if it keeps the young’uns outta trouble, maybe it ain’t so bad after all. Long as they don’t start swingin’ real swords around, that is.
So, if you wanna enjoy the taste of steel, seems like you gotta play this League of Legends. Pick yourself a tough guy like Jayce or Talon, learn their moves, and go beat some folks up, virtually speakin’. And if you hear some young’un yellin’ about tastin’ steel, don’t you go callin’ the sheriff. They’re just playin’ their games.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make sure that grandson of mine ain’t traded the family cow for some “in-game currency.” These games, they can get a hold of ya, ya know. Just like a good ol’ fashioned fishin’ hole, but with a lot more clickin’ and a lot less fresh air.
And that’s all I gotta say about enjoyin’ the taste of steel, whatever that means. Just remember to eat your vegetables and don’t stay up too late playin’ them games. Your grandma said so.
