yeah the whole "it's my nature" thing always weired me out. like yall realize that human nature is still being determined right?? what we are, we have a say in. we aren't scorpions, we're creatures that depend on each other so much that we experience emotional pain when isolated, and make sounds to share concepts that we then turn and think using those sounds created in the heads of others. we're literally closer to ants in nature than scorpions

This is the prequel.

No, this is canon.

I always think about that fable when I see Germans voting for that far-right party.

Is there a joke here I’m missing or is this just you know, what’s written on the page

It's a parody of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog

Reference to an Aesop fable. In the original version, the scorpion stings the frog and both of them drown. The moral is that some people are intrinsically harmful, even against their own self interest

There's an old fable about the frog and the scorpion.
Paraphrasing, the scorpion asked the frog to be carried over the river, because otherwise he'd drown. The frog was reluctant, saying "but you'll sting me".
To which, the scorpion says, "but then I'd drown! so I won't do that".
Persuaded, the frog agrees. As they were crossing the scorpion stings the frog, and the frog asks, "Why would you do that? now we both die!"
and the scorpion replied, "because it's in my nature"

I see I see. I like this version much better. Aesop can suck it.

Hikeback is a visual novel horror game based on the story of the scorpion and the frog that I found very moving.

e: If you prefer to watch stories rather than play them, I believe this is a full playthrough:

Feels inspired by one of my favourite Tumblr posts
Edit: played through some more paths and those were definitely inspired by the post :)

I am always so glad to see Matt and Ian still at it. Mac Hall were the days.
