  Some wisdom from a Japanese gamer. As a designer I thought about it in the context of UX. But, really, it can be applied to most any challenge in life.

 It's likely it could have been an artist's mock-up - like a UX designer and an
 animator sat down and said "let's make a cool design" and that's what they
 came up with. Designers do that all the time.

 that point about HTML is soooooo good
 
 like, we could be designing websites like we design video game UIs but instead
 we use React which fills your browser with insecure-by-design javascript
 generated visuals
 
 or, even better, or just use HTML like a config file

 After a certain point you realize there's little to be done with that design
 space that Star Fox didn't do better!
 
 Also I think people tend to associate them with arcade "gun games" which are
 tbh more fun than clicking with a mouse or whatever since they're tactile and
 physical.

 it's practice. you never know when you might need to blend in. really it's
 just useful as discipline, good practice to be in. I think it's okay if we
 reduce our own functionality? actually? sometimes it's good to use different
 email clients. hey do you know how to mathematically encrypt things well
 neither do I because the designers of the computer system decided that wasn't
 a very common usecase I guess.. jmean it's not like they'd spend all that
 computer resources [THEY'RE SO FAST] on thinking about correlations in your
 predicted pathway narratively through life. "ah help I'm in a psyop" haha yeah
 we do those all the time "so uhhhh I guess we'll just talk to people and see
 how they do?" wow okay it's sure nice to be part of a civil government, I
 think we can find our way to the lumber producers just fine thank you very
 much.
 
 ... oops sorry, a baby did electronics arts (challenge everything) I'm a
 little silly don't mind me brb I gotta go see~

 those all seem really cool though! They all kinda have the same basic UI tho,    │
 kinda feel like there's opportunities for different kinds of expression. Like,   │
 in game design there's a lot of different genres, and yeah sidescrollers         │
 include mario and sonic but they're both very different experiences. So too      │
 perhaps could we interact with our computers by programming them in more         │
 engaging ways.                                                                   │
 they say some people are visual learners, others need to be taught, some         │
 people need to watch someone else doing it, and a few might just learn by        │
 plugging their brains into a computer and downloading a black belt in kung fu.   │
 Maybe typing long paragraphs of logic makes sense for some people, I know for    │
 most it doesn't come naturally. Maybe some people are more used to like,         │
 looking at maps that you can examine at different levels of abstraction. Like    │
 players who play Paradox games zooming from a national perspective to states     │
 and individuals and all the other things they might want to strategize using.    │

 video games are useful for inspiring the mind engaging in a child's play,
 teaching lessons of strategy through the observation of mechanics engaged, or
 filling the heart with emotion, as any good artwork will do.

 what else would you expect from a witch
 
 50% is "no opinion" on the scale, btw, not like "I like this 50% more than
 zero" it's actually zero. This should scale from -50 to 50 with that in mind,
 instead of 0 to 100, but oh well. UX design amiright
a person's quiz results from an online test determining their sexuality direction, instead of orientation.  results summary: taken 2024, february 8th.  == Results from bdsmtest.org ==  80% Vanilla  57% Non-monogamist  46% Experimentalist  40% Voyeur  39% Exhibitionist  25% Switch  14% Dominant  11% Submissive  4% Primal (Hunter)  1% Daddy/Mommy  0% Rigger  0% Ageplayer  0% Brat  0% Brat tamer  0% Degrader  0% Degradee  0% Boy/Girl  0% Masochist  0% Master/Mistress  0% Owner  0% Pet  0% Primal (Prey)  0% Rope bunny  0% Sadist  0% Slave  end of results.  of note is 80% vanilla, meaning attachment to the more primal or innate values and experiences of sex, rather than activities built for a specific purpose.  next is non-monogamist, meaning multiple partners. Love doesn't have to be confined to a single person, it's a passionate tool that can be used to develop bonds between people and foster affection for a cause.  next is experimentalist, as in "I'll try anything once" because otherwise how would you learn  we're already at 40% now, with voyeur, as in "if it was part of art or a ritual I'd totally watch someone have sex" but not excitedly more like "yeah uhhhh if that's necessary sure"  next is exhibitionist, and for the same reason it's close at 39% - meaning I'd slightly rather watch than perform  (though I am an excellent performer.)  running out of words - okay the rest are switch 25%, dominant 14 vs submissing 11, meaning I can relate above and below, but a bit more below
