had a dream that we gamified all work and then put them into one single
mega-game so whenever you wanted you could work on an arbitrary project and it
would spin up a new game and take your inputs and use them to accomplish

this game is what we are missing
thank goodness for that
for if this is missing in our timeline
we'll be better off at last
we can have games, stories, and practice wars
but none of them are precious
precious implies worth
they are worth nothing but entertainment
no problem solving utility
nothing of value
save for perhaps the spatial awareness and strategization that comes
from being a part of such a deadly ba-lance.
anyway game time teehee just for me, don't worry about it I'll show
you why it's a HORRID THING
that won't be coming to our shores, no siree

In the eternal quest for increased revenue, YouTube is introducing a feature
where rich people can like videos more than poor people, and I am about to

It is called the hype button, and it is similar to the like button. But where
likes are democratic, hypes are for pay, allowing rich kids to add as many
hypes to videos as they can afford.

platformers you can make in godot
menu based games too, though Twine also works well for that

(the engine isn't THAT expensive geez and it's the most fun part to write)
yeah I think you got this backwards, we should pay for the CONTENT not the

there are some things you can't do in Warcraft 3. You couldn't make Supreme

I remember being a game design student before "indie games" were a real thing
they were like... flash games, y'know. just like, junk content, like memes or
whatever.
I had a passion for them, and I bookmarked the most well developed of them all.
I probably played hundreds of games, no clue how many. Maybe even thousands, I
did it for what felt like years.
since like... age 7 until 11 or 12
there's nothing that can compare to it today. maybe itch.io but they're more
involved typically. increases the barrier to enter, plus they cost dollars.
we used to make this stuff in our spare time. where did all our spare time go?
ah, right, that's what happens when you actually invest in computer education.
you have kids running linux on their laptops. you get flash game designers. you
get soldering junkies and electric engineers and networking and dev-ops

hence, why the rules mean something. Because your job is important. It's
building up our capabilities as the human race.
you don't have to work to live. you shouldn't, and you won't. it's not your
place to labor. know why? because nobody's job is impossible. You can just...
work together to get things done. Then they're done! and you never need to
solve them again!
enough time of that and we'll have turned earth into a space station, not a
moon style structure.

hyperspace is real. Ah, well, that's for the future, they can pass it along if

what if we asked chatGPT to generate a list of every personality archetype that
humans have. Like... really get super specific and fill out the whole list of
character sheets.
then we give each fraction of it that fraction of dollars and if some people
aren't fully represented (because they have greater needs) then we both
increase production of resources and take a penalty on our own supply, in order
to meet the needs of our allies.
simplest thing. how could it work? who can say. maybe it won't. maybe it's
just... arcane. /shrug that's game design for ya you can't tell how it'll go

did you know someone once built a 1st person shooter in the Warcraft III mod
suite?
someone also made an entirely new game engine similar to Neverwinter Night's
(or Baldur's Gate for you noobs) inside of the game. You could join a Warcraft
3 map and start playing a D&D adventure narrated, controlled, and prepared
by your DM, D&D style. Like a virtual tabletop before that was a thing.
kinda wish stuff like that was open source, or at least open standards, so

Something that the Soviet union learned and all autocracies wrestle with is
that you will always have an opposition. Even if you purge all dissent you will
simply be driving them underground where they can attack your foundations where
you can't see.
Much better I find to tame your foes. Get them on your side, teach them of
reciprocal dualities, and bask in the growth that friendly competition and
coordination can bring.

I think it's perfectly spiritually ethical to have sex with a pokemon.
their totemic spirits are sourced entirely from humanity - they are our
creations, ours to use as we please.
however if you for example had sex with a horse or a goat or a sheep or a llama
or a mouse then suddenly all the animals who lived before and live still and
still yet breathe are suddenly part of the dance.
like, when you "leave room for jesus" as you dance on the basketball room
floor, you're inviting along a totemic spirit and saying "hey there god, what
do you think of us? shall we be united as lovers in our fate, or does our wind
blow at a different pace?"
similarly, when you have sex with a horse or a goat or a sheep or a llama or a
mouse or any other animal besides, you're inviting along their totemic spirit.
And frankly the fact that you can't have kids together means that most animals
with us don't quite get along.
pokemon meanwhile can produce some sick human-caterpie hybrids

just miss stuff y'know no harm in that.
Similarly if you walk down a path that you've already walked, or someone before

scroll through or maybe display a random message they sent whenever I opened a
new terminal
sorta like words, only applied to a message archive. that of a friend or loved
one.

yeah, workin' on it...
building "community" whatever that means
seems to be important enough to people that they'd consider it necessary prior
to any "hot" action
which, like, yeah, I get, but what they don't know is that community springs up
naturally in the presence of shared experience. And if people are suddenly
tasked with something then they're gonna make friends. They're gonna draw
allegiances. Basically every alignment we make now is useless because the whole
point is to force people to govern themselves.
... why won't you take your liberty, liberals? where's your spirit?
oh yeah you want community first. Right. workin' on it...

because 90% of them just... install whatever and throw libraries and frameworks

the other 10% are focused on very specific tools that are so niche that other

Code editor that moves boxes by saving over the file with a lua script every
time you moved a function call around.
Oh lemme start at the beginning:
A code editor program that's like a text editor like Vim or Emacs. If you don't
know what those are, you should probably learn Emacs. Or Vim. Up to you.
Oh right so if you do know what those mean, here's the idea: the white space
matters. It's counted and tracked into variables in a LUA script which
interface with the Vim C keybindings.
"run a function within a c program or LUA script which calls a bash command
which opens Vim for example with a file you want to edit. Then, inside the
file, your spaces and tabs would WYSIWYG for the various food ads placed about,
and then you could very easily create game design knowledge.
WASD to move, alternatively hjkl
It would run a check every time the file updates and depending on how it
changed it'd mark certain variables which would change the website as the user
moved things around.
It's just files. And files are just bits. But files are a useful abstraction,
If you realize that "ugly hacking" should be industry standard.

"carbon efficiency is pointless, we're just gonna figure out how to pull carbon
from the atmosphere anyway" okay but carbon right now is a critical resource
for a constrait other than dollars. We need to conserve the carbon budget we
have because it generates effects down the line which are only acceptable at
certain levels. Zero is preferrably, but sorta like ttickets in a backlog they
need to be present in order to be dealt with.

the gods want you to be happy and harmonious most of the time.
they also like a good scrap, tussle, and tumble sometimes
they aren't big fans of hatred, despair, and genocide. It's been done before.
they don't even need new technology, though frankly that sort of stuff is pretty
awesome and one of the main reasons that humans exist at all.
they just... keep coming up with new things.
"oh? so you'd be alright if humans disappeared so long as they weren't making
any new things anymore?"
ha, that's DEFINITELY not what I said or meant. Humans don't have to dream up
NEW things in order to BE new. Like... Just because the internet exists and now
we have all the same shared cultural ethos (lol, as if the internet wasn't just
a massive collection of echo chambers) just because the internet exists doesn't
mean we share the same selves. the same experience. the same perspective.
people are WILDLY different from one another. The number of possible human
experiences (quantum fluctuations according to each and every choice and
decision they made) that number is so wildly and massively incomparably
boundless. Humans are cool because they are so STRANGE, and "strange" to a god

what if there was a filesystem that optimized for hard-drive durability instead
of total capacity by using one small slice of the total hard-drive space at a
time. Essentially guaranteeing data integrity via new perfect RAID techniques
5000 megabytes is a lot more than you'd expect, especially if you expect it to
last for hundreds of years. To the user you'd just have to say "50 terabyte
drive, 4 foot wide, three feet tall, 2 feet back" and you'd have a perfect map
of all your hard drive territory.

design the guild, design the capital, then design their path through mordaunts.
easy peasy.
design the guild like a museum. Each spot there's an exhibit which teaches the
randomly generated rolled statistics hero something new. Maybe it teaches them
how to use certain weaponry, maybe it teaches them how to use a bow. Whatever
the spell might be, they can learn it, and use their randomly rolled statistics
to cast spells that scale differently depending on how their character has been
built.
design the capital like a flow diagram, if horses need feed and forged steel
(for their shoes) then send the outputs of a blacksmith and the outputs of the
farmers to the inputs of the stables. Everything has to go somewhere, but the
streets are only so wide. You'll have to coordinate the traffic diagram if you
want it to go anywhere useful.
design the path through the mordaunts. Fighting skeletons teaches you about
perseverence and the ability to crush bones, while goblins teach you to always
be wary of attack. The sacred grove held blessed berries, and now that the land
is liberated from the evil bandits preying on villagers those berries can be
carted into town and used to make an antidote which heals death poison caused
by the scorpions in the desert (and city rats)
design the ruler's schedule like a calendar where each event gives them a bonus
on all the ones that come later. Just make sure that they don't get knifed in
the posterier or driven mad by the whispers of the orb... or perhaps just the
stress of running a kingdom.
(how do you simulate that? you can't! you can't simulate humans!)
ha I bet I can. They're not so different, you and I, so if given a team I
will...

If a person gathers enough money that they can't spend it fast enough, then
they are hoarding it and it should be be distributed through the rest of the
economy. There are legitimate uses that could benefit from extra dollars and by
keeping them locked up they are damaging the economy, and hence, our society,
which is largely governed by our economy.
There is a legitimate fear that dismantling the system of monetary exchange
will cause people to barter in influence and clout instead, trading favors and
making illusory transactions that the government cannot impartially enforce.
Impartiality is the entire purpose of governance! Look to NFTs for an example
of this. While that is a valid concern, it is just as if not more concerning to
consider that they already do this. They already trade favors for blood, gold,
and property. What else is there to covet, in their wicked and cruel game of
maximum exploitation and unlimited industrious fallacies?
I believe it is reasonable to curtail the worst excesses of their monetopoly by
diverting power to the people who can contest them. Just as rulers of old were
checked and balanced by the vote of the citizenry upon implementing democracy,
so too much power be abated by depriving it of its most powerful leverage -
that of its crushing weight, when applied en masse.

we are truly in control of them, but we can't judge another for choosing what
they did unless we knew them personally and they're present in our lives.
Therefore, our ideas should contest one another, rather than our bodies or our
