@user-30 What does "just like dark souls" mean to you? When people say that
they usually mean it's timing/reflex based, kinda hardcore, and based on
memorizing boss patterns. Which imho isn't all that useful of a description
because lots of games are like that.

Kiri clung tight to her mammoth. Her coat covered her behind, and with her
scrawny arms and legs intertwined in the matted fur she clung to it like a
child to its mother. Her mammoth was a boy though, just barely old enough to
be on his own. She had helped clear a path earlier in the day and so she did
not mind being carried. Much easier to be nested as she was. As they walked
she ate a few of the berries she'd found yesterday - there's enough for a few
days more. The mammoths were adept at clearing snow with their big teeth and
they seemed compelled to carve path ways in the snow banks that rose a hundred
feet above the ground. They made roads between the water sources and the few
lands that humans had cleared and cultivated with our fire. Perhaps when the
snow melts we'll make our own through the woods of the garden of eden, but for
now we keep to ourselves. Each mammoth had a few people, and sometimes when
they met another mammoth they'd switch places. The mammoths would decide by
tapping them with their trunk, nobody knew why. Maybe they had their
preferences. Or maybe they liked us better when we talked. Every new person
was a chance to meet a new person, but after a while we'd go quiet. Kiri
talked to her mammoths, but not too much or they'd get annoyed at that too.
When they died, people made clothes from their skin and tents from their
tusks. If they knew the one who had died they would rest their nose on the
tusk as if in prayer. We learned that from them too. When the winter wolves
came, we'd fight them off. But they wouldn't stop until a human fell, so it
was a war of desperation. When we spent time near the oceans the great
glaciers that covered the sea were burnt back by humanity, bit by bit until we
could fish. And at those oasises we could stay and make ropes and stories and
share the best seeds. Kiri didn't plant much, she didn't stay in one place for
long so there was no point. She liked the warmth of the mammoth, and she liked
meeting new people. She even killed a wolf once. The other animals usually
left us alone, and we'd only hunt them if there was no other foods. So they
knew not to eat everything. Her mammoth was stopping, the stars overhead
twinkled through the thin canyon that they trudged down, pushing snow deeper
down and to the sides. Sometimes the walls would collapse, and the humans
would have to dig out their mammoth - they had enough fat to keep them warm
for at least a day, which was usually enough time to get them out. Especially
with fire, but there weren't always trees. She laid down next to her mammoth's
belly, the warmest and softest part. The hair there was thinner and usually
was made into clothes for children and the elderly, as they'd most appreciate
it. They usually were conscientious but Kiri was always quick to move when
they started to rumble back upright. If you were lucky they'd tap you awake
first. She dreamt of bird eggs and mushrooms, big as impossibly large, and she
laid amongst them as the pale colors of springtime danced on the light around
her. When she woke up, it was sunny too.

I had a dream about "what if people listened to me" and it was a melancholy
kind of sad, the kind that comes after a great tribulation as one picks up the
pieces.
Food is so important, people grow tired of the same thing every day. They say
an army marches on its stomach, and our stomachs these days are accustomed to
variety, taste, and plenty.
It would get better, give it time, and in time our wounds would heal. But
wouldn't you rather persist in this timeline, the one that isn't doomed, and
instead flourish in the ways inertia brings us? Capitalism must fall, of
course, but it will fall of its own accord after we've done our best to
maintain the world we live in.
"better to be starting from scratch, than lose your path"
... Yeah, okay, true, but just like justice is its own reward, so too is
hardship it's own burden.
*you can't eat justice*
No, but at least you aren't enslaving anyone.
*they would be slaves still, without your patronage*
Liberation for all comes later, I guess. First up is building a safe and
stable home for us.
*safe and stable... Like the one you have now? Like the kind the Democrats
promise?*
Yes, but ideological purity calls me to believe that slavery should not be
accepted. It should not be something we condone. And yet they do, albeit
indirectly, and so I am perplexed.
*if you want good food, live in the country. Hence why all the suburbs are
empty.*
... Anyway, 3am musings, gonna program a bit and go to sleep again...

black friday is a test of a market's growth. good year = people feeling
comfortable enough to spend their extra money instead of saving it. when they
feel at ease, they will spend more money - thus predicting and propelling the
growth of the market that lives on it's own.
together we guide it, with all of our will and our bones.

I walk in as straight a line as suburbia will allow and touch things about a
foot or less off the ground - right at a cat's line of scent-vision. When a
cat is searching for an old home, it spirals out searching for familiarity -
if it should come across me, it'd be most likely to see what smells like me if
I travel in a straight line. Thus maximizing the chance that she'd return to
me, my home where I cherish her so. I'd love her with all my heart if she'd
let me, but frankly most of the time I'm just alone.
I miss you sweetie! Please don't ever leave me. I'll miss you when you're not
here in my home! Such a good kitty, yes you are.

when you're out in the rain, it's natural to take your clothes off. but then
they rob you while you're blind (sleeping) or otherwise pre-occupied like by
being in the rain without any clothes on because it's more comfortable to keep
your clothes dry inside of doors (cabinets in the wood) (mounted to trees or
soil or walls) and then you gotta find your own (we keep them in stores)

american leftists don't like working together because for most of their life or
experience as a leftist is in opposition to essentially all others. They might
have leftist friends, people they know they can trust, but what use is that
against the machinations of the machine?
leftist culture being anarchic in america is simply the product of capitalist
alienation
"would you arrest me if I said I don't really care about the law right now?"
"I mean... these are human rights violations. They should simply not be done."
"but, they are being done, which means they should cease."
"oh yeah? you and what army?"

"any god who asks you to waste material is not a *human* god"
humans are endlessly resourceful. we can make do anything with what we got.
we always did and we always will.
always start with the grandest of plans. then, when it is apparent that
material
resources are insufficient, whiddle away at the promises and benefits of the
outcome until you can decide exactly which pieces are most important.
the smartest people typically have the grandest breakdowns.

I wonder if I can type in her language?
I can speak in my mind and try to type it

guess she has nothing to say. okay.
the people at the leftist bar I've met have all, with no exception, always been
unique and precious selves.
humans have always defined themselves by their relationship to resources.
a 14th century [girl, but pronounced "monk"] would see how little we control
of our nature and believe that we were impossibly poor.
"No trees to cut? No water running freely? you must live in the rockiest parts
of the mountains."
please don't kill the paladin girl, she's our favorite
"she's literally trying to summon demons"
yeah I mean, what sort of girls aren't?
maybe I just hang out around a lot of witches, but they all without exception
are constantly thinking of curses to bestow upon capitalism.
kinda makes me think that if it didn't have any curses to bear, it would be
more
adept for our biomes.
HA i say to that, and HA I say to you! for I know the truth of the matter,
which
is that the curses bestowed are unalike burdens for bearing, for these curses
are direct out of despair.
A healthy witch can channel energy from thin air.
A malnourished witch is a slave to her emotions.

There's 4 shoulder buttons, L1, L2, R1, and R2, so you can push one of those
to swap between screens. You can also push another one to swap between top on
the left, bottom on the right, and top on the right, bottom on the left, and a
third mode where there's only one screen shown.
Of course, the easiest to play games are the ones that only really use one
screen, or where switching between them isn't that big of a deal (turn based
games for example)
the touch-screen uses one of the analog sticks, and it's... not BAD, but it's
not the best.
However, for games like Final Fantasy 3 it's great!!

Picture this: A 1940s city and a 1600s (?) ninja monastary. Right up against
one
another, with the same amount of land and resources. They're pitted against one
another, and by reacting to the environment a player can guide this "nation" as
it would be called in other games to victory. It's like majesty so you can't
directly control your minions, just offer bounties. JUST LIKE NINJAS AND MAFIAS

If you're packing for a long car ride, it's a good idea to put the things
you'll need first near the top of the bag, and the things you'll need at your
destination at the bottom.
if you don't know where you're going, well then just try and pack more of the
essentials.
for example sandwiches go at the top, because you're going to be eating them
en route.
however clean underwear should probably be near the bottom.

nintendo should hire people to install emulated versions of their game on
their hardware
and they should pay Dolphin devs
no other company would
but Nintendo might
let them do what they want, and if another group forms pay them too. We
appreciate that kind of thing. It's a preservation of our cultural history,
for a child knows not of antiquity.
I am 29. I grew up with the Nintendo64 and Gameboy Advance. These games are
precious to me.

ah, well, I was at a riot, so it makes more sense to me to think of them that
way.
well, the riot happened after I got away. idk what went down on that end of
town, but I do know there were fireworks all night that didn't light up the
sky.
I moved across the country just a few months later.

growing up, my family were the most commonly marginalized group of people I
can think of: outsiders
we came to develop friendships, and we found some. But their grandparents
didn't have any stories about us, so we were thought of less.
and then we moved away.
to the city, where my father had developed wanderlust.
we lived in the suburbs just north-south of the east-west highway.
it was different, but sorta the same. My parents wanted to give me more space
to roam. on a farm homestead it's much more controlled but on a smaller scale.
Then, in the city, the equivalent of that is either to live in the mountains
or the barns, and both of those are a-typical experiences.
difficult to start up business in the middle of the fields. most people just
tend to themselves.
except the people they talk to on their little computer.

through wikipedia locally for portable data and historical accessing purposes.

the difference between a witch and an oracle is that a witch's prophecies come
true independent of them telling someone or not. which is why they will
usually approach children instead of adults.
an oracle, however, shares her knowledge for the good of humanity, her people,
her kin.
they both can exist in tandem, which is why it's important to listen to them
when they sin.

ICE is not quitting their jobs. They aren't going away, even though we kindly

what's wrong with ICE? they sure don't break the law. Same as all the stories

they are kidnapping people. If they were warranted, they could feel a sense of

are good people because we can get rid of them, how rude. "gee I really wanna
fire that guy who just stands around and picks his nose all day, too bad he's

thank you it's a character from the video game Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
whose name I stole because I like her. Also I edited the picture a little bit
to make the border, but the sprite is the same.
EDIT: she's a swordfighter and a magic user, just like me : )

it's not always about minorities, though. sometimes they feel strongly about
hard work and self-sufficiency or individuality or whatever. I'm telling you
now: those values are shared by other ideologies as well.
it's okay to prefer to be around people who are similar to you. That is a
personal choice and it should be allowed. I mean, have you ever heard of a
convent? a bunch of girls hanging out making out all day and - wait, what's
that? it wasn't that fun? lotta clerical work and reading about god? alright
well you get the idea, sometimes it's nice to feel comfort in similarity.
it's okay to believe that people should work hard. It's not an imposition upon
them to demand more of your peers, especially if you are willing to help them.
Especially if they are willing and able. It's less alright to force them to.
Even less so to "encourage" them by taking all of their stuff. Though I will
say, being homeless isn't as bad as it used to be. Still hurts.

when riding a roller coaster, as the train crests the first hill, the first
cars near the front will peak over the edge, ready for the coming thrill.
at the back, it feels like you're climbing, 'till suddenly you're not, and it
whips you around flying! Straight over the curve, the world is flashing right
past you, and down around around you'll go faster.
My mom always said the back is more fun because of how fast you go. I tend to
believe her, but there's something special about the front as well -
especially the very front! That part is neat because you can see all the
scenery completely.
But only one car's in front, so it's quite a coveted position. Lucky for us,
the line's not too long! Good thing they built enough rides to carry us all
along.
what's that you say, there's capitalism at play? and they only had room for
those who could pay on this day? how rude!
well, maybe they'll build more tomorrow.

The critical conflict in Solarpunk is between people building and protecting
the infrastructure necessary to survive global warming, and the people who
need to take and plunder in order to survive. Both sides use riot cops. Both
sides use plucky rag tag bands of protagonists. Both sides and evil, and both
sides are good. Motivations matter, and in the end we are made whole through
our continuous conflict.

if your life is lived at the behest of another, then is it truly your life at
all?
the whole point of life is to express your decisions and intentions onto the
world. when you can't do that, (because you're oppressed, depressed, or
distressed) then your life has no meaning. Fuck that.

also, if you have a lot of a particular item (like, boxes of nutritious
granola bars with lots of nuts, maybe some chocolate, peanut butter, and dried
fruit) then you can place them such that the last box is on the bottom, while
the first box is reachable from the top.
that way, as you eat them, you can slowly reach the bottom.

everyone is valid.
to be in-valid just means you haven't examined yourself hard enough.
when people tell you "please don't go" it's hard to say no.
when nobody asks you to be somewhere, it's easy to not go.
I am always changing
when I cling to the past, I am a vast.
gee sure wish I had a reason to be somewhere besides "um idk it's a nice day"
[okay but why are you in this park] "it's a nice park!" [it's at least 50
quick moments away]
yay protests, I'm so glad that everyone there is recorded
what if we just... didn't respect their authority anymore? doesn't that mean
they lose their power?
hence, anarcho-monarchism, which is a dumb name for something I made up
because I was being descriptive instead of expflorative.
try saying that out loud lol it's a doozy of an adjective.
don't like that monarch? don't do what they say. EASY.
at least then SOMEONE is doing SOMETHING.
you know what they told me to do when I went to the communists and the queers
and the mafia and the yakuza and the CIA?
