-> file: fediverse/1398 ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── I don't think I've ever appreciated a notification Steam has sent me about my friend's playing games. If they wanted to play with me they would text me. It does, however, make me think about video games more. And seeing their name makes me think of them, which makes me feel closer to them without actually interacting. Which is kind-of an anti-behavior, like facebook stalking except... paying attention to what your friends are playing and when and how much and... not good. I know a lot of people who are permanently offline on Steam because of reasons like that. But, of course, they can still see everyone else, which feels like an anti-pattern... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1399 ╔════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌───────────────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: cursing-mentioned-eye-contact │ │ ║ └───────────────────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ If you're worried about passing, take what you're good at and make it gay. │ ║ │ ║ Do you wear band t-shirts and black jeans?

That way it can use past posts by other people to communicate with specific "targets" if you will by saying "uhhh okay make this person feel fine" and the AI's like "yeah sure I can do that hang on" and it posts real posts by others with the modified profile picture, cadence, tone of voice, personality, memories, whatever variables they want when compared to the person they're playing in the conversation with the person or "target" if you will that they're "target" if you will-ing. ... wait actually that's not the reason, what the hey. It's because that way people who are uncomfortable being seen don't have to if they filter all that out. ... Idk it's useful information for whatever filtering methods or reasons you have.
