I started the game and got:

"As I remembered my father's words
I put the faded photo in my pocket
and thought of her one last time."

Pretty weird, huh?

I think he's noting the fact that the Spelunker speaks of his father, then later uses the pronoun "her". It appears as though he is calling his father female because he fails to adequately name the person "her" would apply to, like his mother or lady friend.

Wasn't there a discussion already on this exact starting poem? I'm pretty sure there was.

I agreed that it made sense, I was just saying that the OP probably called it funny because it looks like he's calling his father a her.

Huh, maybe it wasn't an actual topic, but I definitely remember going over it before. What I always read it as was his father telling him to go find his lost love or something like that. Like some red-dressed blonde woman with an affinity for being eternally lost in an ever-changing cave system...
Or what Mars said.

His parents were lesbians who decided to deal with the two mommies situation in a peculiar way


also talking about spelunker's dad makes me think of sean connery with a big head and tiny body

It's simple really:

As I recalled my fathers last words, (understand that?)
I put the faded photo in my pocket, (a picture of my girlfriend)
and thought of her one last time. (his girlfriend)

You guys must have really poor minds if you can't understand that.

I still think it translates best to his father, on his death bed, telling his son not to give up on the one woman he loved. To go find her and get her back, cavemen, giant spiders, and ancient deities be damned.

That also works.

Or thinking of a girl from an arranged marriage.

something like that.
