The days are long but the years are short, it’s been said.
I’m with you as far as “humans deserve food that won’t make ‘em sick, regardless of circumstances” but expired food can often still be fine - you just are outside of the manufacturer’s guarantee that it should still be good.
When I gotta choose between “expired food” and “nothing”, I choose to give expired food the visual + sniff + small taste test before consuming.
They look the same!
I think of it often - the chorus of the town bard’s Darkstone theme song really lodged itself in my memories and in not sure why.
The Darkstone will shine.
For what it’s worth, I’ve played a lot of this game. My wife and I are even playing it now!
I just wish it felt like someone cared about this game, from a developer perspective.
