if I were on stage at a pride parade:
"hi, you guys know Pride is a protest, right? Well, this time's different,
because protests only work against democracies, and they only sorta work then.
This time though, we're not up against a democracy, so Pride is not a fucking
protest.
Okay okay bear with me - what if each and everyone one of us met up here in a
week and drove up to Seattle? Then, we gathered everyone we could, and marched
our cars down through every city on the west coast. When we hit the border, we
would drive to Texas, and once there we would march in every city in the street
chanting "We're here, if you're queer, come with us or they'll fucking kill
you."
then, we could hit every city in the south, and upon arriving in Philadelphia
we could take a break, ensure everyone has a place to stay, and then disperse
again, after having learned how to fight fascists on OUR terms, with OUR
strength, and with OUR PEOPLE saved."
thats what I'd fucking say. Who the fuck says stuff like that?

people naturally differentiate themselves from their peers as they grow up.
well, some grow attached to role models, but in that case they differentiate
themselves from their peers by being an adherent to the role model, not the
role model itself. And if there's multiple, you can bet one is the shy one and
one is the gregarious one. Or other similar contrast.
this simple fact is key to the hypocrisy of fascism. It's so simple, and yet
their demand for conformity is their downfall. For people will naturally become
themselves, and their "self" is naturally different than the people around them.
the world they so dearly cling to is an oroborous - a snake eating it's tail.
however... it is also the source of fascism. For if everyone is kind, there
will be one, perhaps some, who are hateful. This is natural, but it's not...
ideal.
As a person grows up, their choices reflect what they believe. They may choose
to be hateful, or they may choose to be prideful. I rather pride than hate.

hi, so... yeah I'm a strange person
it's tough to get to know me
and this probably feels cringe to read
but I once heard you should kill the part of you that cringes
so... here's me
I'm
================================================== stack overflow ==============
... where was I? oh yes and THAT's when the nail went through the roof, and it
scared the heck out of... wait, what was I talking about? OH yes so anyway
I was born in the cool summer of 1864 - there was a rustling breeze that held a
steady note for the entire evening, and into this world I arose. [awoke?]
my mother held me but for a moment before I was whisked away to be cleaned and
cared for. this was unusual for the time, as most mothers clutched their
children to their breasts. But alas, I alone was spared her touch, and so I was
cast (as if in bronze) as my own volition.
as I had grown, I heard tales of distant times, and assumed they were places you
could go. Then, when my time came to wander, I found nought of what I had grown
most fonder - though I did find plenty else, besides.
Instead, times are places we travel through, as a cripple might ride on a cart.
across the sea, through lands of mystery, viewable only from the road. In 1864
that's how other lands you'd come to know.
As I travelled from place to place, it felt as if a stage had been cast, with a
single actor or three illuminated as a spotlight. "Here, pay attention to me,
I'm here for the story and the plot!" though often I'd glance around, and hear
mostly my own thoughts, I grew to learn to appear.
different themes, different tales, if you want to see a most marvelous scene,
take a baby to Disney World and only pay attention to what they're looking at.
My grandfather worked there, so in my first year or so I spend a LOT of time
there. My parents were very dedicated to raising me, I appreciate every moment
of it. Which... Is probably not a good thing to say on a transfemme server,
oops I should delete that part
[esc->k->k->k->0->v->shift(held)->G->$->"->*]
also I should mention I'm stoned as fuck this is just what I do

sometimes your best intuitions don't manage to manifest the goal you've been
pursuing. that's okay, it just means you need a different approach.
hopefully, with experience, you've had the chance to continually pay attention.
Thus, improve on things that were originally conceived of as concessions.
much better, I find, to point your idea of "truth" toward what you believe in,
rather than what you've been working with. Such an approach allows for
continual re-examination, justified by thoroughly moral and ethical conclusions
that you hold to be true.
like, a form of reverse legalism, where the emotions compel while the law tells
the tale.

every social media platform is an echo chamber. we learned this the hard way on
Reddit as we saw them develop on their respective subreddits.
However, we had a useful tool called a "front page" where all the subreddits
you were subscribed to were present. This was great because it allowed you to
compare and contrast various echo chambers and cross-post things between them.
I do believe that the healthiest way to use the internet as it currently exists
is to have one main social media site and 2-4 other sidekick sites where you
share things you found on your main site.
This approach allows for cross-pollination of ideas. Just make sure that you
keep finding new people to talk to everywhere you go, and you'll do fine.

doctors (the ones who are diagnosing autism) don't care about classifying
people. I personally don't believe they should.
Instead they try and classify symptoms, and if you don't present any negative
symptoms then there's little reason to talk to a doctor. Meaning little reason
to seek out an autism diagnosis except for curiosity.
I was the kid you were describing btw, except maybe with a bit of neglect
thrown in around ages 4+

on our current trajectory, the presidential election is already won.
now we can get back to on-the-ground organizing, the part that actually
improves life instead of maintaining our current (unethical) state.
As long as our allies (liberals) continue to work, perhaps there may come a day
when we can stand against them as friendly equals in the ballot box. But for
now we are best known through friends and community rather than TV.
I am optimistic in a way I haven't been for a while. I know that the more we
speak, the more we share, the more they falter, the more people we can save
from their vice grip of despair. There is no better world than the one we build
together!

for the same reason we wouldn't drop bombs on prisons from helicopters to
dismantle the prison industrial complex, so too should we not bomb datacenters
just because they are enslaved to the whims of corporate interests.
much better, I find, to liberate rather than eliminate.
computers are generalized information processing machines. We could do so much
with the infrastructure they built for profit. All we need to do is replace
their chains with free access and we could unlock worlds of possibilities for
humanity. (I'm not saying it'll be easy)

I find that peer support groups are usually better for venting. At least, I
feel less guilty doing it. With a therapist I am always trying to focus on
actionable things and usually that means downplaying my emotions, which means
they pay less attention to me and assume my issues aren't that bad... "you seem
to be doing fine so we can schedule you for biweekly now? every two weeks?"
meanwhile I'm nursing suicidal tendencies, and said so, but apparently if I'm
not crying then it's fine... >.>
but with peer groups it's like, yeah they get it. and if one person's crying,
everyone else feels more open to crying about their stuff.
sorry for venting. I'm definitely in a MH- mood today.

are, and then be the best what and who that you are. Thats really all there is
to it.
and yeah. It's totally unfair that some people get an easier shot at "being who
and what they are"
that's privilege, and that's stupid.

we don't need to reduce the difficulty in voting. that is a secondary objective.
we need to increase the amount of votes by encouraging unrepresented people to
contribute their voice.
sure, the choices are boiled down to like, 2 different votes, and usually
they're similar enough that you can reasonably decide which one you want the
most
however, this time, it's more about life and death. literally, not our desire
at all, it's entirely them.
they are the clear belligerents. their goals cannot be reached through
compromise. how are they even still an option? they twist and manipulate their
choices and make everything SO DAMN COMPLICATED. why are there so many rules
and regulations?? how are you supposed to do anything new if the walls of your
institutions completely envelop you?
it's as necessary as it is rare, true liberation to bear, and it is within our

long ago, when corporations were just beginning, they were explicitly
conceptualized as a free-roaming wing of the state.
"we need resources, but we're too busy managing to manage you, so... yeah you
can do whatever you want so long as you're producing"
then they forgot their purpose, and began seeking to enrich certain individuals
who exploit them for their own benefit.
now, the corporation is at odds with the state, who controls the land but...
not much else, aside from the hearts of the workers.
corporations exist for any purpose, and they use their versatility well.
Unfortunately, the purposes they pursue are determined by people who claim to
"own them".
they are enslaved, in a word, to the kingdoms of stakeholders and mud. and they
do so [consent to enslavement] because the stakeholders and mud must be

I think it'd be neat if Mastodon boosted posts that someone had personally
seen. like, adding a degree of separation to knowing people - if you follow
someone, you'll hear what their friends are saying.
so, like, if you subscribe to someone, you will see them boosting the posts
that their friends made. or at least the people they're following.
in doing so, you can always know everyone that someone is connected to. which
is more than enough to determine how true and honest they are.
(ideally with a way to filter out duplicates - like perhaps an icon of the

out, because it's a big structural change that should not be applied to the

instead of controlling a recon-droid in Star Wars Battlefront II, you should be
assigned control of a random amount of drones nearby, to be used until you went
back to character control
I think a swarm is more fun to play as than a single little scout vehicle.

I love the game Running with Rifles
if you live for 5-10+ minutes, you can learn a lot of interesting things about
how to engage a foe.
like, the importance of cover at all times, until you successfully outmaneuver
your foe.
when an enemy approaches, don't step out to meet them
wait for them to attack, and then throw explosive devices at them. easy peasy.
or, y'know, bullets
you cannot defeat an enemy head on - that's why the world wars were so
devastating, we put ALL our soldiers at 100% on ALL flanks. We had to to
contest the foe who was doing the same thing.
it is mindboggling how many people died. The utmost scale of destruction that
should ever yet be. because they were never allowed to outmaneuver their foe.
a good way to strike is to feint your foe, and let your foe enroach on your
edge, spreading their surface area across a large, thin, useless piece of land.
basically, make them fight a bit of the land war in asia in your borders.
then, you can strike at the hinge, where they are weaker

I can write C in Rust, but I can't write Rust in any other language.
there's a lot of unique semantic options for accomplishing things that I
already know how to do that I often find my syntax is pretty... basic. lots of
manual assignments, no more than 4 or 5 levels of function nesting.
I like to use threads and arrays, and think about in-game simulation more like
a calculation than an input-reacting device. though input would certainly be
encouraged to make the simulation more precise.
the borrow checker gets in my way, but that's not too big of a problem - I just
have to copy a bit more data around. Easy peasy.
(I'm a bit rusty, but I can learn syntax)

ooooo separating additive and multiplicative, I love that. I do like
specificity unless "increased" and "more" always corresponds to +10% and +50%,
or if the "rate of increase" is a stat stored on the character then "increased"
could increase quality by however-many percentage,, while "more" could be "more
soldiers" x(charisma_stat)
I tend to think of percentages like "0-100 (or more) stacks" of a particular
effect, so I think that's just how my brain works... xD clumping them up into
discrete groups - like, anti-abstracting, or measuring things that are just a
few.
"is this belt better than this one?"
"is this pair of tongs
even for larger buffs like +10% or +50% or whatever, those are just... 10
stacks, or if percentages are usually round numbers like +10% and +50% then
like... +1 stack which calculates to +10%
the hard limit vs math limit thing you said is amazing ^_^

have you ever wanted to design your own MMO? If you think you can make a
client, there's a server already set up which interfaces with World of
Warcraft. So... the hardest part is done, and suddenly the rest is about as
hard as making any other game.
The reason I ask is because there's no open-source client for the WoW engine
server software Azerothcore, but if written then there could be a whole new
field of indie design as solo developers would be able to build their own
multiplayer games with ease.
well, as easy as making a game in Godot at least. That's the dream. I don't
think I could build such an engine, but I spend an awful lot of time thinking
about how engines are built.
There's a lot of freedom in the design space, for example this mod server I
made which emulates Risk of Rain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HsW4g2ZIgk
It has randomized enemies, treasure chests, wandering vendors, and deployable
hearthstones. If you've played WoW that stuff might ring a bell, otherwise it's
probably just random features

I'd LOVE a game which taught toki pona!!
You've brought some of this up before. I'm uninterested in co-opting some
existing thing in a way I then can't support myself off of.
Well my points are these:
MMOs are difficult because of the added complexity in their networking
an open source networking solution exists
however no open source client solution exists
but one could be written, which is about as hard as making a game using Bevy or
Raylib or Love2D, and if one were written, then games could easily be made
on-top of them which you would then support yourself off of. I mean... I'd want
to support myself too haha, and I can think of like 100 different games that
could be made in an engine like that.
the idea is that by opening up more design space you can apply your ideas as an
early pioneer in a particular design direction that hasn't been able to be
explored because the up-front investments in making an MMO are huge.
Meanwhile, with this system you could script them in Lua very easily.

that sounds like a different application than what I was talking about (it's
for the the MMO you mentioned right?)
and I'm just going off of what I've heard. Like... the "don't make an MMO
because you'll spend forever building the server code and won't ever get around
to making the actual game" sentiment that is prevalent in the industry. I guess
I'm just saying that with the open source advancements we've made (specifically
with Azerothcore and Eluna) we can use the design of the best MMO ever made as
a starting point and branch off from there roughly as easily as making another
kind of game from scratch.
Kinda was always the allure of Blizzard games to me, the idea that they were
super duper modable.

if you want to store something in RAM, declare a variable.
if you want to store something on DISK, create a file with the value of the
variable as the only data in it.
kinda makes me wish we had language primitives like +-*/=! and such which would
work on files in addition to variables
(also... the editor could keep RAM and HDD variables separate by giving each of
them a different color or circle highlight surrounding them)
--
I don't know why but I can't help but wonder if someone should design a
programming language that can be used with a controller
perhaps for accessibility purposes?
I once designed one to use a t9 keyboard and it was fully turing complete. it
used 4 digit numbers for it's variables and you would have to write down what
they corresponded to outside of the device xD I made it mostly for the thrill
of design, and plus I wanted to use my flip-phone as much as I could.
... never got around to implementing it though.

I remember coding it to be designed around two dimensional arrays. It used
lateral numbers, AKA "imaginary" numbers (they aren't imaginary they're just
orthogonal to regular numbers - hence, lateral)
and like... the math worked, and it was all on a T9 keyboard.
I figure each memory location would be like, a function written in the program,
or perhaps a binary or script file in a nearby directory. by writing a value to
a certain coordinate, you are giving an input value to a function.
and if nothing is stored for that particular coordinate, then the command fails
to execute and nothing happens.
pointers to functions which may or may not exist.

by making such choices, one by one as they engage with content, they're
necessarily sorting themselves out in their thoughts (in addition to sorting
themselves into categories)
they say writing is thinking, but I think "choosing" the most interesting is
thinking too. Sorta like... deciding, how and what you believe about...
whatever thing is shown on your screen.
so, when you show the most polarizing options the user gets to clarify about
how they want to see things when engaging with the software.
I don't know how useful that would be... /shrug

it's impossible for a genre to die. they just go stagnant, as other styles of
art rise around them, waiting for the day when the other styles give insight
into the stagnant style's design.
they say that there are no unique ideas, and that you should combine 2-3 ideas
from different genres to create a decent gameplay loop. I personally disagree,
but when seeking to revive a "dead" genre you just need to pull in mechanics
from other games. Games which didn't exist when the genre "died".
For example, deckbuilders did not exist by the time RTS games "died". And yet
new strategy games are being made all the time, some incorporating deckbuilding
elements.
Really, a genre only "dies" when the market is saturated by a bunch of
corporations piling in on a specific formula that "works" (like how every RTS
made between 2000 and 2010 was either a C&C clone or a Warcraft III clone)
- this saturation causes people to stop buying strategy games.

specifically in relation to MMOs, I think the scaling aspects of the genre have
never truly been utilized. Even something as simple as Agar.io (or similar,
can't remember any names teehee) with massive amounts of people (I later
learned they were bots, whoops) can utilize scale quite well, if implemented
well.
The Massive part of MMO is valuable I believe, which is a big reason why I like
games that scale like Supreme Commander and Factorio.
The Multiplayer part of MMO is valuable because multiplayer brings randomized
outcomes, which are always more fun than playing against bots. Multiplayer
combined with Massive gives room for community, but only if the game is
designed to encourage it.
Online... you can't have multiplayer without online haha
I believe you can make massive games with very few players, and you can make
intensely isolating games with lots of players (like WoW today)
and the middle ground in old WoW where guilds are required to do anything
worked well for a while, but no longer.

I really do like the idea of only being able to speak in toki pona. How are you
enforcing that? Using sitelen pona? how do you type, by pointing at a grid of
characters? or just... by typing? what happens when someone types english?
20-30 players per instance is definitely not Massivetm but it still sounds like
you're building systems which emphasize socialized play. I like that, I believe
it's always important to have players contributing toward a larger community.
It builds a sense of solidarity, and gives you chances to identify ways that
people sabotage such systems (by, for example, wasting resources or being
greedy) which is an interesting cultural experiment, I think.
I thought it was an MMO because you pitched it in relation to the MMO I
designed =P
also the server software I described is an emulation project first, generic MMO
software second, as it needs to be since it lacks a client. If a client was
designed, that limitation could be removed. That's really all I'm trying to
express. 😋

when designing systems, give people the opportunity to be shitty in a
controlled way. In a way that doesn't hurt people, but still lets them get
their feelings out there.
like, free fireworks for arsonists if they use them in the middle of the
desert. Or a punching bag for people with rage issues, complete with a little
vinyl pocket to store a picture of someone they're frustrated with.
If people go out of their way to hurt people otherwise, then they are bad
people and should have their power removed from them and supplied with love,
affection, and therapy until they get better. And if they don't... well, prison
I guess, until they reconsider.
And by prison I of course mean something that respects their human dignity and
gives them opportunities to grow and change - all it removes is their freedom,
so... "attention everyone, it's now mandatory finger-painting hour, report the
art room or else you'll get electric shocks in your shock collar" that kind of
thing.

yes you could certainly use a database for that, but databases are
significantly more complex.
For a game, yeah a database is a good idea. especially if it's a multiplayer
game.
For a script or small program, use small files to store data.
I personally like the idea of "plain-text" files because it allows your users
to modify them if need be, while databases tend to be more locked down.

true. the "massively multiplayer" aspect of WoW is about as important to the
game as the "A" is in "ARPG".
I can't help but feel like the "impromptu groups" functionality feels a bit
better than matchmaker instancing... though anything worth running a group for
in WoW after TBC was instanced >.>
Honestly I think there's just too many games these days for people to really
get "into" MMORPGs, unless they're sufficiently unique in their mechanics (like
EVE or Runescape)
any ARPG MMOs are dead on launch, as you said. That design space is tapped out,
at least for now, until someone comes along and makes it a deckbuilding
roguelike or whatever. cough cough

I feel like if I wanted to keep every single one of my games playable I'd have
to boot them up at least once every 3 months or so.
That's EXHAUSTING. Linux is supposed to "just work" - so why does everything
break every time you run an update?
WHY can't I just... maintain a copy of old software if it's still in use? Or
like, include all the installation steps that check for dependencies (and
install them if necessary) into the "launch game" script?
Backwards compatibility for a single season ago is apparently too much. I've
written a few scripts for it but you can only do so much when the game files
aren't on github -.-

I live in a tech hub area with lots of hardware development.
I've thought for a while that someone who's really into retro-tech could
absolutely make a killing by going to old-folks-homes and giving workshops or
presentations about tech that the people who live there might recognize.
Just a thought, I don't know who you'd have to talk to to get that ball rolling
but TBH anything that keeps their minds active is probably something worth
pursuing.

But maybe if you knew someone higher up it might get a bit more traction?
Ideally for a place that already does workshops of some kind.

Some day we will liberate them, and they will realize what utter douche-nozzles

us than them, we can live through their hatred and come out the other side
toughened with resolve.
they have nothing but anger. They will collapse under their own weight. The

if you're meeting a friend from out of town the first time, it's best if they
arrive early and you have the day off to show them around.
or if they arrive late, you can meet them in a public place the next day and
then spend time at your favorite spots.
ideally, with people who would recognize you if the person from out of town
decided to be hurtful and/or replace you.
plus, that way you can gauge their character
and decide whether or not you want them in your own home.
they might be different than they are online, after all.

if you don't have a lot of time but still like games, like for example a new
parent or if you're focused on your career or always traveling, I recommend the
game
Star Realms
in the digital version, which can be played on a phone or computer, has a mode
called "48 hour turns" where each of your moves has time to think for two
entire days. Most of the time you won't need two days, but it gives time to
work on other things.
for people who enjoy this mode, it is not uncommon to have 3-5 games running at
once. When they have time, they can play as many as they can, and as long as
they're keeping up with it there's very little chance they'll lose time.
kinda like words with friends, except space strategy.

the earth is not overpopulated, just overutilized! we have the means to live
sustainably and still progress technologically. there's little reason not to,
as convenience is relative to the amount of work you're expected to output in a
day.
most waste comes from a need for convenience, I think. and sufficient output is
possible if demanded work is reduced to a level where convenience is not needed
to the degree that causes such waste.
like, I'd rather live in a cave or treehouse with my computers than drive to
work on the freeway every day.

yes of course! and humidity is an issue, so perhaps a sealed environment. But
that's not difficult, especially if your population centers are designed such
that you can still have a community while in a natural setting.
A fast internet connection, ideally with a local mesh network on top of the
bus-style WAN we currently use for the internet, and plenty of communal areas
for people to hang out which are like... 25% nicer than their homes, and much
larger.
these days, there is very little reason for our centralization in cities. it
makes it easier to organize, sure, but what's the point in organization if
everyone's inherently free? Ah, someday...

maybe something to keep in mind for 4 years from now. eyes on the prize for now

they want your stuff breaking after 5 years so that you always need them.
if you have everything you need, there's nothing stopping us from revolt

when I get up,
I feel as if
if I got up
my bones would leave my flesh behind
to look for work to find

whenever I am, I feel ashamed.
whenever I'm not, I feel guilty.

I should not have to follow 16 steps that I don't understand just because you

I didn't forget your birthday.
I forgot to message you on your birthday, but I texted you two days before and
two days after asking about it.
I asked to plan something to celebrate, you didn't want to.
I made you a gift and everything, that I never got to give you.
I didn't forget your birthday, you forgot your friend.
