I think I’m a rat: Marathon’s Rook class has made me face an unfortunate truth

The author discusses their addiction to playing the 'Rook' class in Marathon, a class that spawns players into ongoing matches with some gear but without the ability to complete contracts. Despite a low success rate against fully geared opponents, the thrill of scavenging loot and the adrenaline rush of winning against the odds makes the Rook class appealing, leading the author to embrace this 'rat' playstyle.
