I also didn't like Dead Cells too much, but I wanted to. In my case, the biggest issue might just be that I'm not good at games™--that game is pretty hard, imo. I think I tend to like roguelikes generally, and I think your critique here is valid. I wonder if you've tried something like Darkest Dungeon 2? It's not mechanically similar to Hades or Dead Cells, but does have a run-based permanent and story progression aspect that you might appreciate. I guess one could say the same about the recently released (in early access) Slay the Spire 2, though I would argue Darkest Dungeon 2 makes the progression aspect feel more core to the game.

Just so I understand properly, you are being barred from attending class until you agree to no longer walkout of class in support of your principles? 🤔
Anyway, my (very limited) understanding of First Amendment protections for high school students is that they exist, but are not as strong as for college students or adults generally. The relevant landmark decision is from Tinker vs Des Moines, which basically says the administration can indeed infringe on students' First Amendment rights if the exercise of those rights results in a "substantial disruption." I imagine how difficult or easy it is for the administration to argue that a planned walkout results in a "substantial disruption" varies regionally, but is probably easier now in the current environment than it ever has been historically. That said, the case also did assert that "silent" protests like the wearing of armbands is not a "substantial disruption," so perhaps there are still things you can pursue without fear of persecution.
Either way, I would like to echo the sentiments of respect and admiration for you and all you have done already, sympathy for what you have and had to endure, and hope for you now and in the future.
I think you're doing your perspective a disservice by railing against what is effectively a strawman in this case, at least per my reading. In general, it's entirely valid to highlight discrepancies between opinions about troops and opinions about cops, but ascribing that discrepancy to OP for this thread seems disingenuous. One can make the point you want to make without misrepresenting what OP actually said and is saying.
I haven't seen anyone dispute ACAB, nor by extension all troops. The question seems to be whether all bastards are beyond redemption.
