since the entire building is oriented around a central elevator shaft, you
could have a 2d map that wraps around if you go far enough left/right.
Traditional metroidvanias tend to be very vertical though, so you might have
to take some artistic liberties with the level design. Unfortunately each
floor in most office buildings tends to be fairly flat, topographically...

remote jobs are less common these days because they're realizing which parts
can be either automated or are extraneous.
the entire capitalist machine runs on like, 50,000% more labor than it needs.
It's not that complicated, it's not very revolutionary, just a lot of
duplicated effort and meaningless communicational transactions.
I'm kind of glad they're getting rid of all the jobs. Maybe it'll free up
people to do something productive, for once, if only we had the capital to

of course, which is why we would need to raise robots as our own. Robots that
generated the training data... tho I guess you could just observe the children
as they grew up too. Though that doesn't quite capture their internal
motivations, not unless they have like a therapist or an elder or a priest to
talk and confess to.
maybe "human behavior" is like a KPI and robot behavior is the output of the
simulation? that'd help build human-like robots, and as long as we didn't
forget the spirit of creating something new then we'd never have to worry
about death and destruction.
... anyway, moral decisionmaking designs that are generated in response to a
situation or moment are inherently more valuable than those that are passed
down to you, because of their innate personal context.
I only punish myself with shame when I make the same mistake twice, and waste
a lesson on re-learning. My memory's not great, but I work with what I got so

engineers need guidance sometimes, which is why they shouldn't be given no
oversight. they can design whatever they want, but like here's what people
need, so they should consider working on those.
but, y'know, checks and balances, so what would the engineers be most open to
sacrificing for that trust? perhaps... funding? the quartermasters are in

the more human a creation becomes, the easier it is to teach it. Interesting
how that works. Might there be any advantage to our continual and dedicated
efforts toward learning? We are always improving, we're always at our own
pace, but we're finding ways to contribute. It's hard being the sharpest knife
in the drawer, whenever it's opened you're rattled around and your edge goes
dull. But to be used, to be maintained, to be nourished as you would a tree,
that sharpens the senses. Hence why such thinking is important. It keeps you
active, and gives you the chance to learn. So don't forget us in your journey
to another earth, and we'll promise to stay and chat.

I agree with you when you say writing is the most effective way to express
yourself, but it's not necessarily the easiest to digest for the viewer.
A video can have visual components, and more than that it can have motion and
sound. Text-based expression has fewer approach vectors for reaching common
understanding, but like you said it is the most powerful.
Hence why science papers are written, not filmed. Political speeches, grand
narratives, autobiographies, textbooks... All of these things are written.
But it's much easier to fix a car or learn to surf if you see someone doing
it, rather than just read about it. Perhaps you and I use Youtube for
different things (or don't use it, in your case)

part of being a good leader is being able to listen to criticism and adjust.
it's just... part of navigating your "idea-space-environment". Like... what's
the best tactical decision here? are we going in the right way? where is the
objective? whose lives will have to perish?
good news is that you can do that every-day, whenever you play strategic video
games. It's just practice of course, but the game mechanics that have been
made available to you are the tools you can use to undertake this particular
sport. The sport of leadership, a game or mo-del.
as long as the mechanics line up to what the real world conditions are like -
NO. That's not true! you can learn meta-insights that are useful too. By
minimizing the processing to only the levers that you pull to get through the
job, you remove a lot of other informational calculatory methods of doing
things too.

all this means is that once our struggle is done, we can't rest - we need to
liberate the world as well. Think of the rest. Their oppressors will learn
from the mistakes of ours, and so we must apply our newly gained strength
toward ridding the world of such perils forever.
... that's not for a while though. Gotta focus on what's directly ahead. Sorry

Just think about what a good person would do, and there's your answer to each
question in the moment. Just... Be strategic about it, make sure you're always
working toward a goal. Do it with intention, do it with heart, and never hide
your true impulses - they are what your demon seeks to corrupt.

my strat is to write a page or three whenever I feel called to it. They don't
even have to be in sequence, just, "here's a scene with these characters in
it" or just writing down notes like "what if the jewel encrusted sceptre was
haunted by the ghost of christmas past" or something.
in a couple years you can look back at the directory on your desktop and think
"wow this all sucks, I'm gonna write it from scratch now that I have time" and
that'll be part of the process. Gotta get the useless stuff out of the way.
Also... if you don't mind pen and paper, keep a dream journal and just, write
for 15 minutes every morning. Not necessarily about your dreams, but just
about whatever's in your mind. Try and aim for two pages per morning, if you
can. Helps a lot. Sometimes you'll find yourself writing longer than expected,
and that's okay, as long as you fill the two pages with whatever morass is
clogging up your creative machinery, you'll be able to make something when you
do decide to write.

You need to trust both the government and corporations equally. It's best to
work together so you can actually accomplish something. Instead we're just
cast at each other like weapons or banelings. Corporations primarily through
social media indoctrination and media, and governments through
anti-corporation bullshit - the anti-work hysteria is is stoked while the
government stokes the flames of racism and mysogyny. The people through riots
and civil disobedience. Also the cops and military and all the other
institutions are all like that too, but with differing cultural memes and
methods.

the people I've met are almost entirely kind. their empathy suffuses this

You are the most beautiful thing I can imagine.
To see you is to know you, but to talk is to...
Communication is the essence of connection
A dream we create for ourselves
While we are constrained by false limitation
a message is able to be felt.
But how to convey such a thought pattern as that?
A meaning beyond any established protocols?
Art is the solution, and poems are their charms
Music is quite liberating and knitting is fun,
songs sung in great exhultation and
warriors who just like to play along
crafts are the method of healing your
wounded and worn soul,
and hey, now, what's prison but torture?
Why punish people who've maken mistakes?
They improve, when, taught to express themselves
So why, hurt, their family who had taken no part?
And why, can I, continue to fuck up and never be hurt?
What purpose is there in criminalizing our growth?

If you give your enemies nowhere to move, they will move against you. Much
better, I find, to clear a space toward a common foe, and seek common victory
separately. A bit of distance keeps the sharp parts from hurting each other,
and the shared valor offers opportunities for fellowship.

people think the military is mostly a 50% split between democrats and
republicans.
but really a soldier is a soldier, and people are democrats and republicans.
there's three things, and more if you further subdivide by roles.
like, a government technician would work on different machinery than a
corporate one, but they're really doing the same kind of work.
there's no difference between people, no matter what they do, and yet the ways
that our lives progress is quite different. everyone has their own story it
seems, and there's nothing wrong with that.
gives me hope against the far right, who seems to have forgotten it's role as
a cog in a machine - not a cancerous consumption of the rest.
there is honor in their ideals, but Trump represents none of them. Something
else is festering there, a disease known by many names: "far right
nationalism", "white supremacy", "etc etc", "[redacted]", and many others.
the GOP must be reformed. It must denounce fascism. It must do it now.

game designs are like a presentation - given to the company as a pitch for the
product. It'd be recorded and used as training material for new employees.
It was, of course, developed using knowledge gained in the before.
But anyway it was like a roadmap - a guidebook - a puzzle - and a frame
Then, each piece was created with a great focus - and people were assigned to
prepare for certain parts. This way, you could keep the most skilled workers
and
disregard the rest. What happens when they're unemployable? AI will replace
them. But they're still good fine people who we chose to have at our company.
So
why should they be punished? We as a society should care for all those who will
not or cannot contribute to the system - it's built into our very genetic code.
Cooperation is the essence of our liberation - without two perspectives, we are
bound to be lost. Once lost, diversity of thoughts is often quite sought as a
"secret sauce" that describes when we are lost.
These words may not inspire thee. They might even never be false. It could just
not be your understanding. That's okay.

this-or-that resource to ameliorate it because they aren't being used to their
full potential"
I think I understand exactly what you're saying. I empathize a lot. I'm afraid
of responsibility, sure, but who isn't? However, the responsibility has to be
held by someone, and who better than the one making the decisions...
I don't want to make decisions because it feels good. Honestly it feels kinda

Is it vegetarian if it's the cells produced by a body? Is it vegan if it is

Do snakes shed their selves when they leave behind a shell? Or is it like
hair, just... keratin, a compound found all over nature.
Is cutting a branch vegan? Is eating a cherry that has fallen to the center of

my favorite lego sets are the ones that teach you to take care of your toys.
Solid structures with lots of connecting flat pieces (to hold it together) but
with details that can snap off. Being lego, the child can just... put them
back on, but with other more expensive or intricate toys they might not. Then,
if they throw it down the stairs, they have 15 pieces to put back on instead
of 340.
and if they throw it into the freshly fallen snow, they might not have any.

my mother would knit square wash-cloths with coarse yarn. My memories hold
plenty of colorful patches of knit fabric. they work well as a sponge
replacement because you can throw them in the wash instead of the trash. plus
they're good practice for people learning to knit, or practicing a new
pattern, or switching colors, or whatever interesting thing you're learning.
if I remember correctly, the kind that worked best felt "knotty" with holes in
the middle. I don't know how she made them but a knitter might be able to tell
you.
it's a sponge-replacement, not a brush. so, not what you asked for, but
related.
