 @user-95 more like... accessibility by default, and if you want to opt in to
 the narrative experience then you can. I want to start with all the levels
 unlocked and all the cool swords to play with because most of the time I don't
 really care about the story. I make my own story!

 I wish games started with everything unlocked and if you wanted you could
 "start a journey" or whatever and lock everything but a few options... then
 slowly as you play the game you unlock new things to do until eventually
 you're back where you started.
 
 Essentially... starting at level 100 and having the option to prestige right
 away. If you want the experience. While playing a game. That you have every
 right to enjoy as you will.

 why is everyone so confused about how I turned out?
 
 I literally spent my whole childhood telling stories to myself
 
 (inspired by the world, and stories I had read, with mechanics like games I
 had played)

 I can't get into a game with swords like this, I'm sorry, those aren't swords
 they're stat sticks...
picture of an anime girl offering a sword  picture of a second anime girl looking at the sword with disgust because the sword is obviously ornamental or ceremonial in some way. It has strange spiky bits and weird impossible-to-use features like a dragon shaped handle and an impossible shape.

 sometimes I decide against playing a Steam game because I don't want it to
 jump to the top of my "recently played" list
 
 Wish I could have like, a heatmap of when I played which game. I think that'd
 be useful for the archival process of my life.

 I have a sword, because I'm not built for the frontline. I have a different
 battlefield. I needed a sword, to feel until when the pen was no longer
 needed. I haven't wanted to slay anyone yet. Pen still in hand.

 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
 whatever was happening

 I posted my words text file all over the c it y today. not sure why. maybe I'm
 tired of this course and I don't want to let anyone down? Maybe I don't know
 what to do yet. Maybe nobody works with me because everyone's keeping it on
 the DL or whateverr?
 
 ... anyway enough typing, I'm going to go play a video game. like god intended.

 if you want to understand me, play Majesty the Fantasy Kingdom Sim (when you
