Musical inspiration: Olivier Deriviere - Trauma

The Loop has an interesting entertainment that (as always) is closely related to respawning and the fact that the locals are not afraid to die. They inflict bleeding in themselves -- in any way: you can cut your arms, you can cut your legs, you can cut your neck, it doesn’t really matter, -- and the blood loss, if not too active, causes the brain to start behaving funny. But they don't stop just there. They can and do take a step forward, because if at the same time you turn on a medigun at low power to heal just as slowly as you bleed, in such an equalized state, you can hang out for a long time between consciousness and its absence. And all this time you see beautiful pictures there: you can meet God, you can meet Satan, you can meet Tom Jones, you can meet your roommate, you can meet your parents -- whichever you prefer.

Such entertainment was not invented right away, it appeared approximately during-or-after People/Spiders, but once they developed a taste for its fascinating qualities, it spread instantly, far and wide. For some time, the most sensible groups tried to fight against -- after all, there are enough traditional ways to relax, no one forbids medicine and booze, and playing games with your own health is very harmful! In addition, it is difficult to perform alone: if cutting yourself and healing a little is still doable, in order to normally get out of this state either through a final death, or by turning the heal beam stronger, you'll need an assistant here. And then, of all things, bloodletting magically transforms from a marginal practice into a recreational one, if it is carried out properly and under supervision as it should be. It even gains followers, actively promoting the procedure to the masses: the thing is incredibly salutary for the mental state, its effects are much more consistent than that of alcohol, it refreshes, it relaxes, and, in general, there are only bright sides to it no matter how you look.

But the main motive is, of course, the opportunity to escape the Loop. At least for some time.
