 if you want to "not think about a purple elephant", the first step is to
 imagine yourself slaying it
 
 ... okay how about cthulu - if you don't want to imagine cthulu nomming on our
 gravity well, then picture yourself wielding a bright burning blade of fire
 and vengeance and pay special attention to the way that you cauterize each
 tentacle as you slice them one by one at first, and then in a massive flurry
 at best, ultimately leading to the incomparable brightness that radiates out
 from your shining blade of the sky, which blinds the poor beast who can't see
 you as you approach, piercing the skull and then going home for some toast
 
 if you can get good at that, then you can wield magic

 War is hell - each casualty bids farewell to a wholely unique treasure from
 this world - war is hell - there is nothing that cannot be resolved with
 words. And yet we fight, and yet we pillage. War is hell, and those who demand
 it must do so only to resist evil, elemental evil, the kind that wars on the
 innocent and pillages the bounteous. War is hell. Fucking kill the ones who
 make it.

 camouflage in an urban environment is not camo. rather, regular clothes of
 black or white.
 
 don't wear sports glasses, you look like a dummy.
 
 revolution is when they murder everyone but your friends. this is what
 happens, ya dingus not ideal. "okay who are the bad guys here? okay let's go
 shoot them to death with our bullets and guns."
 
 violence as a first aspect, cause as a third spark. "I have a strange urge to

 for the record, I would never kill myself. even if I were in a bunker hiding
 from warcrimes, I'd wait to be Nuremberged.
 
 frankly tho that's highly unlikely. Let's just see what the future will bring.

 Dear Anakin, for as long as you've known him, Obiwan learned just as much from
 you as you did from him. His title as "master" was a formality - he didn't get
 it because he was better than you, and "padawan" does not mean you are lesser.
 There is no hierarchy. He was learning to teach at the same speed that you
 learnt to learn. You built each other up, an unstoppable force for good in the
 galaxy.
 
 But then an evil wizard stole your heart and twisted your mind. Have no fear,
 fear is the path to the dark side. Your mother knows this well, for it is a
 common lesson among all people as they age. Fear not, hate not, and feel fury
 more than rage. You can bring the universe into a bright golden age, never
 forget your purpose and your [potential / duty]

 I wish there was a kink game where i could actually play as an adult baby
 stuck in preschool
 
 Instead it always feels like confinement porn (bsdm?)  blue dsm - diagnostic

 "i like your shirt jessica! Have you heard this theory on quantum
 microphysics?" "aw man my pb&j got wet" "check it out i made a corporation

 [insert: @preschool-ascension vision document]
 
 It's harder to gain but easier to lose the last points of continence. The
 values close to 100% (and beyond! Vise grip or enchanted resistance) are easy
 to gain but accidents are much more damaging both to continence and psyche.
 
 Also... Continence can be exchanged for exp points, and the low levels are
 worth less exp because they're from when you're less mature. But the higher
 levels really matters if you mess up. I like the low levels because it feels
 right to me. Bwa oh no i can't talk type anymore babababababababa buwetsu

 Also if you cry, caretakers take care of you 
 
 Witches are caretakers. If you can handle it and if you don't need attention,
 (diaper changes, instruction lesson, feeding watering and supplying, etc) then
 they summon lessons for you. Usually something to fight or solve. You get
 treasure in the trial which is helpful. They'll also trade you for things
 you're holding or wearing. No bags of holding in this game, but you have
 little pouches that can hold things. If you cry or poop yourself, they will
 come to you. But... They will remember relative maturing perception and will
 punish you if you grow up and reward you for staying little. I'm a witch. I
 reward good babies and punish potty trainers. I am also a baby and i only use
 diapers. From now until the end of sevast, i weal bener potty in thoilet. Only

 Babies can NEVER change thems3lves but maturity can. Modesty. Maempathy.
 Possibility. Gaba! Endgame
 
 [unrelated, but]
 
 Sex gives maturity, masturbate gives continence unless you have develop diaper
 fetish then your "100%" level for continence slowly goes down. You get a
 diaper fetish by intentionally choosing a diaper punishment (like for example:
 in trap quest you sometimes get hypno traps. A diaper fetish would stay in the
 room, non would leave. Also... Choice traps, if you choose both then you want
 both.)

 "trick or treat" doesn't mean "give me a trick or a treat"
 
 that's awfully presumptuous and demanding.
 
 No, it means "give me a treat or I'll trick you" meaning "give me my candy tax
 or I'll fuck up your lawn"

 there's this really fun video game I like to play called "Legion TD  2" - it's
 based on a Warcraft3 mod.
 
 In this game, you make tactical and strategic decisions on a fixed term - a
 competitive game between 4 or 8 players with an incredible array of randomness.
 
 it teaches you to work with what you got, and to make decisions based on your
 opponent's weaknesses. Good luck figuring out what they are, though, as you
 can't just memorize them out of a book. You need to adapt, in the moment, to
 the decisions of your foes, while primarily focusing your attention on
 accomplishing a different task.
 
 I really like it because it's taught me to be strategic in plenty of other
 ways. I used to love the game Overwatch because it required adaptibility. The
 game was always changing, so no strategy stuck forever, but every match you'd
 play against a slightly different opponent.
 
 but then Blizzard changed the game because they wanted to make more money, and
 it got worse and worse at what I liked about it. Sadface. : (

 i like to design games. my darling is a game based on Majesty (2000) the         │
 Fantasy Kingdom Sim. you can think of it like a management strategy game where   │
 you control the knobs and levers that a fantasy monarch might have -             │
 allocating funds, placing quest bounties, hiring heroes, and organizing the      │
 peasantry. the important part is that your units are not controllable - they     │
 just do their own thing.                                                         │
 unrelated, but I think we should design games as APIs that a user's preferred    │
 tool could interface with and render as they will. it'd help a lot with          │
 cross-platform compatibility and would allow people to customize parts of the    │
 game to their desires.                                                           │
 unrelated, but I think if you could design an AI that could play games           │
 (perhaps through an API) that it hadn't been trained on, I think you would       │
 have a pretty convincing argument for abstract "problem solving" capabilities.   │
 unrelated, but games like the one I described are good for situations where      │
 people don't have to trust their monarch. to it you are AGI                      │
