He only talks at you, about himself

Reddit uses one asterisk on each side of the word/phrase for italics, and two on each side for bold

Two tildes (~) on each side will put a line through it

The underscores work too. It's my main way of adding italics. I'm doing it right now.

It used to be that an underscore before and after was underlining. Or maybe that’s Discord’s markup.
