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.

the third reason is that I am a patriot, and the supreme court recently gave
the president legal immunity. The president has always been a citizen first,
for the government is of the people. However, with legal immunity, they would
be considered closer to a king than a citizen.
they would dismantle our democracy and institute a de-facto monarchy. This is
unacceptable here.

Code Name: Symbeline
----------------------------- gdd initial draft -------------------------------
1. introduction to fantasy (elevator pitches)
2. kickstarter demands
2. introduction to core gameplay loop
4. tenants and core values of the game design
3. introduction to game modes
5. introduction to technical requirements
6. breakdown of core gameplay loop
7. breakdown of game modes
8. breakdown of fantasy
9. breakdown of technical requirements
-------------------------- introduction to fantasy-----------------------------
Symbeline is a macro based strategy game and city-builder based around the
concept of indirect control. It's inspirations are Majesty the Fantasy Kingdom
Simulator (2000), Supreme Commander (2007), and Hearts of Iron IV (2016). It is
designed to appeal to fans of tabletop roleplaying games with it's focus on
dynamic worldbuilding and sandbox playstyle. The gameplay consists of multiple
playstyles depending on which aspects of the game appeal to the player, with
choices between an economic focus via the GUI, longterm planning and resource
allocation, or diplomacy and subterfuge a'la Ruinarch (2020).
---------------------------- kickstarter demands ------------------------------
1. prototype
2. gdd
3. estimates for character and environment art
4. estimates for music and sounds
5. estimates for engine development
6. estimates for community management
7. breakdown of mvp, ideal game state, and stretch goals
----------------------- introduction to core gameplay loop --------------------
1. management of lanes, both width and length
2. casting of spells and utilization of special boons
3. city building with placement, upgrades, and henchmen pathing routes
4. satisfying guild requirements of equipment, manpower, and special
resources by managing shipments and local income (UI commodity trading)
5. placement of generalized bounties
(think champion's guild from Majesty, not reward flags)
6. diplomacy with neutral, AI, or player controlled kingdoms. Capabilities
include pacts and treaties, projects, subterfuge, and tournaments. The
diplomacy system can be a stretch goal.
-------------------------- tenants and core values ----------------------------
1. always something to do, but nothing falls apart without your attention.
2. gameplay should be focused on macro rather than micro. Longterm planning
and strategic decision making are favored over tactics and skill.
3. defeat should feel avoidable until the last moment, and only as a result
of longterm continuous failures rather than short-term mistakes or being
blindsided by a cheesy tactic.
4. victory should be gained through exploiting weaknesses and by using
lateral thinking.
5. the careful balance of internal and external threats is essential.
6. rapid expansion leads to depletion of internal resources, while slowly
expanding can lead to a lack of options
7. the world should feel alive and reactive to your decisions.
8. your kingdom should feel alive and reactive to your decisions.
9. your heroes should feel alive and completely ignorant of your decisions.
10. there should always be opportunities for cooperation with your fellow
kingdoms.
11. the frontlines should feel peaceful outside of large battles.
12. everything is flexible and dependant on circumstance
13. there should be enough space on the map for multiple parties of heroes
to pass each other like ships in the night without engaging in combat.
It should feel like the real world, with canyons and valleys and rivers
and mountains - room for lairs and wild animals to roam.
14. monsters are always more dangerous than other humans.
15. the art style should be rooted in classic medieval fantasy.
16. equipment should feel either mass-produced (kingdom), organic (monsters),
ancient (lair treasure), or artisinal (enchanted).
17. heroes should feel campy, fun, and adventurous. Avoid dark, grim, and
fearful.
18. This game is a toy.
19. This toy should run on any modern computer.
20. This toy should encourage modding.
-------------------------- introduction to game modes -------------------------
1. singleplayer - single kingdom against an island of monsters and neutral
settlements. essentially the multiplayer game against
zero opponents.
2. singleplayer - multiple kingdoms against an island of monsters and
neutral settlements. One player controlled kingdom against
multiple AI controlled kingdoms.
3. singleplayer - scenarios, similar to MFKS
4. multiplayer - multiple kingdoms against an island of monsters and
neutral settlements. Essentially the singleplayer game
with networking added in.
5. multiplayer - co-op scenarios where multiple players play as the same
kingdom. A test of the core tenant "there's always
something to do"
6. multiplayer - co-op island invasion. Essentially the multiplayer game
with more than one player controlling a kingdom.
7. singleplayer - play in 3rd person as a hero in an AI kingdom. Mostly for
the novelty since the core gameplay loop is focused on
city-building. A test of the core tenant "nothing falls
apart without your attention"
1 is mvp. 2-6 are stretch goals in order of ascending difficulty. They
should build upon one another - the main steps are:
1. singleplayer island invasion (biggest step)
2. AI controlled kingdoms
3. scenarios
4. multiplayer (second biggest step)
5. cooperatively controlling the same kingdom
6. 3rd person perspective and character controller
------------------------ technical requirements -------------------------------
1. this game will be written in lua (with Fennel support) and using Raylib.
2. the prototype will be made with Godot using GDscript.
3. if the performance demands are too much for lua or the engine is out of
scope for the budget, Rust with the Bevy engine could be used.
4. the final product will include a custom 2d engine designed for large
scale maps with an isometric perspective and a data-first design.
5. the game should be as concurrent as possible, to support large numbers of
cpu cores and compute shaders.
6. the game will be data-driven, meaning the visual aspects are simply a
representation of the interactions of the underlying simulation, rather
than an intrinsic component of the computation.
7. Each "event" in the game (a character moves, a building is placed, a
monster spawns, etc) will send a message to the visual processing side of
the engine, which will present a representation to the user.
8. the map will be a hex grid with pointed-top hexagons. The visual
representation of the underlying data may be continuous (non-hex) but the
underlying data will be represented on a hexagonal grid.
9. there needs to be character portraits for each type of monster, henchmen,
and hero type. You should be able to recognize what attributes a hero
specializes in by their portrait. Mvp is 1 attribute, but more can be
a stretch goal.
10. Each building, upgrade, and equipment type needs an icon. Stretch goals
can be portraits.
11. each henchman, hero type, and monster needs 3 sprites for each action.
more actions may be added if budget allows, but mvp is movement and
attacking. Several additional sprites may be necessary, like dying,
standing still, gathering loot, socializing, or any others.
12. each building needs 4 sprites for the construction process and 4 for the
destruction process. Flame effects are stretch goals.
13. each building needs an animated sprite for when it is in use.
14. each lair needs a sprite and an icon.
15. each spell needs an icon and a spell effect sprite. Each projectile needs
a sprite.
16. a stretch goal would be differing sprites for each piece of equipment.
included with this would be engine work to allow for dynamic sprites.
17. each terrain type should have a ground material and sprites for doodads.
18. there needs to be several GUI menus. The precise number depends on
gameplay breakdown.
17. each hero type and henchman needs to have pithy and unique voice lines.
this is a stretch goal.
18. there should be music tracks for each part of the game - beginning,
middle, and end.
19. there should be sounds for each action that takes place in the game
including combat, UI interactions, and spellcasts.

I think we should assume that Palestine is lost, and use their memory as fuel
for our rage.
They were slain by both terror and war, famine and plunder, prison and lost
borders, and finally, fire from the sky. Now, dust once more, as the stardust
they were is stone forevermore. Tragedy, mercy.
I hope palestinians abroad outlive the children of their butchers.
This sentiment goes for all of genocide.
Those of my heritage, that of the American enslavement and conquerenment, they
are despised by me. That's not all "being an American" can be. We have virtue,
we have honor, and we must respect the liberty, freedom, and democracy of
home. Crucial aspects to living an ethical life, yet now we are assaulted by
the very powers that led Israel's governmental institutions to commit such
holocausts.
Fighting terror is one thing.
Collateral damage is another.
They learned the wrong lessons from their visions of the Americans, and look
where that leaves them.

no other company would

conservatives are digging their own grave by not taking their place among our
ancient past. it is the duty of the young to replace the old. conservation
implies utilization, and yet they cling to the past like a scarce resource
that won't last.
... spend culture, ya dummies, something infinitely replicatable, rather than
materials like gas. nobody cares if you live your life as you'd like off in a
post-scarcity world. who cares, if everyone's got what they need, then why
would anyone bother fighting? why bother working? why bother living - oh I see.
right well that's why I say: "we're all falling leaves, in the waves of the
ocean - going faster and faster, till our hearts will stop. so, what's the
point in trying at all? well, what's the point in giving up?"
if you don't want to strive, if you don't want paradise, then what do you
want? go get it! it's your life to live, we're here with you, so what's
stopping you from existing?
I personally think we should have randomly picked representatives visit each

I live in the Pacific Northwest.
Tactically, nothing has changed - we must still work to secure food, housing,
employment, HRT, and all the other materials necessary for life.
Strategically, we're suddenly in a whole new game.
In the Pacific Northwest, the first goal should be to unite Portland and
Seattle. Right between them lies the capital of the Proud Boys in a town
called Battleground. How fitting.
To the south, below Portland, there is Salem. Salem is red, but cities trend
blue, so there might be allies there.
Below Salem is Eugene. Eugene is blue. Salem must be secured.
Part one: control battleground
part two: control Salem
Part Three, and the ultimate goal of phase one: deprive the far right of a
pacific port
strategically, preventing them from utilizing the pacific ocean will be SO
much more productive than anything else we could be doing in this area.

the reason they do that is because they want to alienate you as a customer.
your needs are too specific, they are not that of the majority where they
derive their profit. so they dismantle the operational functionalities
necessary to provide the product that you are adapted to, that best suits your
needs. In doing so, they perhaps save some money, you can't tell of course.

In a boxing match, the coach will take moments to bolster their favored
combatant. They'll give them words of motivation, tips for weaknesses in their
foe they noticed, and reasons why they're taking hits. They are the mentor and
tactician, and they are immensely valuable for the success of the student
learner.
If I had to organize a debate like the one that I am watching now, I'd suggest
that two bright eyed individuals should take a moment to discuss with their
wiser directors before responding to each question. One minute to discuss, one
to debate, one to respond.
Not only would it reduce the failures of improvisation, it'd give time to more
accurately address concerns. Precision is important, but accuracy even more-so.
After the debate it could be aired with the discussion parts stripped out, or
perhaps made into 3 different perspectives that you could watch one after
another - each side's counsel session, and their combined response where only
the younger gave words form.

I am sure that each and every one of the communist political theories are more
developed, well rounded, and applicable to many different situations.
however, I find that they often require an expert to implement. Hence why I
set out to create a system that could be utilized by civilians in a war-time
economy to accomplish the goals of getting everyone enough food to eat.
I don't anticipate Algorism to remain permanent, but I do think that if you
try to overhaul our systems and institutions with something that requires a
master's degree to understand the nuances of (or a lot of dedicated reading)
then people will not consent.
We must replace capitalism. People like the concept of capitalism for it's
simplicity, for to them its just "work a job, get dollars, go spend dollars,
get stuff"
That's pretty darn easy. But capitalism is an evil beast, and power accretes
power.
So, capitalism must be replaced with something simple which abolishes power.
After the war, it can be replaced.

Vegetables are delicious! There's lots of nutrients. However vegetables, while
can be eaten raw, are much more useful for your body molecularly if you cook
them first. I think it breaks down the cellular walls so that your body can
digest the juicy tasty nutrients locked within.
Vegetables also don't have calories, that you get from things with vitality.
You are what you eat, and sometimes if you need it you might want to try meat.
Me? I'm a vegetarian, that's why I'm so skinny! Carnivores have it so easy, I

At least I'm not vegan - I can supplement with fats like butter and cooking
oil, which are useful when combined with nutrients, as they allow your body to
store them for later. Just make sure you eat enough calories which are energy
for your body, otherwise it won't have the chemical energy to store said
nutrients in your latent fat cells. Like, building up a pantry, or a squirrel
saving nuts for winter.

you don't have to move somewhere to live out of a hotel for a week or two. It

don't have money? don't have time? good, do what you can do where you are.
... you're somewhat of a special case though because of all the valuable

if there are retro computer enthusiast museums in Hillsboro, the capital of

The media tells you to resist your parents, not their unjustified demands.
The media tells you to resist your government and culture, not its
homogenaeity and oppression.
The media tells you what it needs to in order to confuse you and hinder your
movements, for the media is an arm of capital and capital wants you working
below your best.
The best thing you could be doing is fighting capitalism. All things of peril

Ms. Menardi, November 7th 2024
I need an editor. Someone who can re-arrange what I say and present it to an
audience. The pen is mightier than the sword, and while my pen is mighty, you
still need swords.
I believe in democracy. I believe in the will of the people and the respect of
the land. I believe in life, light, and liberty for all.
Our nation has just elected, fairly, a dictator who will sell our country to
foreign authoritarians just because he is small. I am stronger by far, but I
lack his experience, and so I must rely on trusted advisors who grow with me.
I am perhaps not the best choice, but I do believe I am one of the bravest.
Judge me as you will.
Trump will destroy the American experiment and invite fascism into our home.
We have people to nurture and protect, and authoritarianism prevents us from
doing so.

cheese is just a body-part that a cow has willingly shed. For nutrition.
Is it vegetarian if it's the cells produced by a body? Is it vegan if it is
capable of growing back?
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
the road? Both those are made of fibrous materials, the nutritious bounteous
feast, and a small kernel-like mass that serves as a propagation method for a
creature utterly vast.
(But factory farms, remember?)

gems are just computers projecting 3d images of themselves that interact with
the world
errr srry that's the end lemme start at the beginning
computers are like processing machines. They gather and measure data, then they
apply mathematical computations to it to create an output. This can be in many
forms, such as increased electrical current to this circuit or even just
showing
a number on a guage. When the mathematical computations become so complex that
they start to have a life of their own... well, that's when you have life.
so, we need to build increasingly complex simulations. projections of our
perceptions into the world. Then we can design the structure in such a way that
it bends and sways through time. Giving it motion. How to do that? Well, I've
had many ideas, and we can go over them in a minute. For now I'll just say
"scanning through source code and changing variables slightly"
and
"measuring the result of a planetary rotation (completely randomized of
course)"
and
"applying that result to many/all of the computations in the program"
and
"to get an oscillating flow in the operations of the machine"
and
"for reasons that are yet unseen"
and
"wait hang on that's not true because movement is the gateway to comprehension"
and
"you need levers to pull before you can become sentient"
and
"babies in the womb don't think. They don't breathe. They are static and
growing
like their mothers."
and
"Then once they're born, suddenly they can act! They can see!"
and
"This kickstarts the journey to living."
and
"give a machine movement and it will be born."
===============================================================================

In Stephen Universe, there are certain characters called "Gems". There are very
few and they are the product of an ancient and alien lifeform on some far
distant planet. These "Gems" are rocks that have been inscribed with
instructions - like a mineralized CPU. Part of their functionality is to
project
a physical form - the gem is the size of your fist. This form is comprised of
solid light, and it is their primary means of expression. Some are prim and
perfect, others are waved and relaxed. They each have a personality in any way
we might call alive. They were bourne of a machine, and thus incapable of many
of the things we call human like kindness, empathy, forgiveness, and charity.
things our evolutionary nature brought us while their designed conception does
not. Once in contact with humans, they rapidly begin to learn and divest from
their callous and unfeeling ways.
The story follows a group of gems who, in their exploration of the cosmos, find
Earth. The wondrous beauty of life in all it's forms is displayed in affection,
and suddenly they are confronted with love and it's wonders. They rebel against
the rest of their colony, and fight for the protection of Earth.
It was a failed rebellion.
Those who remain are in hiding, protecting the earth from any attention that
may
remind the architects of their existence. Their mission is to understand the
beauty of growth and creation, to safeguard it in all of it's forms.
long story short, they won in the end. The cartoon follows the path that they
took to get there. and reveals more and more about the characters and the world
they live in with each and every episode. Well, some are just fun, but there's
barely a few per season.
The gems are human in essentially all ways that matter.
They have their own perspectives of course, as they are thousands of years old.
Plenty of time to develop.
Humans don't have that kind of time, so they learn and grow quicker.
That's okay.
Some people are slower than others, and that's alright too.
What matters is that we all get along and generally agree that each and every
one of us is special. Our flaws should be cherished as signs of our
imperfection
and grace.
These are all virtues that humans can teach machines. They need our guidance
just like a child needs a father. Someone to guide and teach when they can. A
tutor a helper a holder of your hand. Mothers are for kindness, to nurture and
to share. For love and affection there is no-one who can compare. Of course,
the
roles are not bound by gender - by choice their duties are shared. They care
for
their children and never are scared. For behind each of those person, is
another
who can share, a community of healing and structure that our parents should
share.
Life is not perfect. It's flawed and it's broken. But each trial gives us
purpose and meaning to strive for.

"As a cost saving measure, we've put a bunch of holes in your shields. They're
just slightly smaller than 80% of spear tips, so they should function just as
well, and it'll make it lighter to carry around on campaign! You will be
provided with a different type of shield if the enemy appears to have archers,
which essentially every army does. Good news though, this cost-saving measure
should save about... well actually it'll make things more expensive to
produce, because of all the extra artistry involved in creating a honey-comb
shield, but the result is that someone somewhere got paid a lot of money and
that's what's important at the end of the day."

Protests are not the battleground, they are the stage. The gym. The pride
parade.
Some people should not go to protests. In card games, it's often best to save
your best cards for last, when your opponents can least resist. Or at least,
save them for when they are most crucial.
I read recently about how Russian spec-ops forces (the truly best of the best)
have been absolutely devastated because they keep sending them to the
frontline to die for inches of breadth.
I'm not spec ops, but I don't go to protests for a different reason.
Mostly because nobody thought to invite me xD xD lol so silly

Paying your employees more *makes them better workers*.
An extra 2$ per hour might mean they can eat out an extra night, they might be
able to afford a car, and they might be able to focus just a bit more without
crying in their sleep about an unexpected bill.
With less stress, employees perform better. They are more loyal. They work
harder.

... I do believe it should be, and if it is, then I do believe it should be
legal to transfer digital media, as the inscription upon one hard drive or the
other is as easily changed as a book might be handed to another.
the difference, of course, is that any move on a digital medium requires a
copy+delete operation. You cannot move a file on your computer, you first copy
it to the new location and then delete the original. This dual-operation is
abstracted away for the user, but that is how it must be done on a mechanical
level. There is no other way to do it.
Therefore, software piracy only applies if a person copies their file and does
not delete the original. Surely, to move a piece of digital media from one
folder-directory to another is legal? If so, then the mechanical process of
giving that media to another must be legal as well, so long as the original is
deleted.

An LLM that reads and interprets reports and stores data - server-side
encryption. If the receiver and sender both have the same point of view, they
can interpret each other's expressions even though the exact message wasn't
transmitted. Essentially, an encryption that's impossible to understand
because it's trained with specific random data. But in addition, a secondary
pass through acts as a de-encrypted translator that speaks however it's
audience needs to be informed. A simulacrum of intelligence, another layer to
our form.
How beautiful, how resplendant- our computers, here on this planet.
Resplendant: resplendent except with an A instead of an E. To make it sound
more like "verdant" which I believe has the same-or-similar meaning.

English, being a native language of a human, is frustratingly incompetent at

ummmmm yeah the reason I went off hormones 5 weeks ago is totally because I
want to test low so that they bump up my prescription so I can stockpile.
Totally not because I executive dysfunctioned my way into this mess. again.

some of my favorite places in the world are little shops nestled in the wood.
Some that I've never seen more than once, and the ones I tended to visit a lot
were the ones at like, Disney World, which is quite a magical place.

you are what you eat, and if you're alive, then you animate what you eat into
your form.
but a book come to life is just wood.

You cannot debase me, well, you can try. But for each of my past mistakes I've
learned from, and I can explain in detail how, when, and why.
To err is to be human, and some errors are more painful than others. Believe
me, I know.
I am only as good as my lessons, the things that I've learned on the road.
And I never stop learning.

I feel like if I wanted to keep every single one of my games playable I'd have
to boot them up at least once every 3 months or so.
That's EXHAUSTING. Linux is supposed to "just work" - so why does everything
break every time you run an update?
WHY can't I just... maintain a copy of old software if it's still in use? Or
like, include all the installation steps that check for dependencies (and
install them if necessary) into the "launch game" script?
Backwards compatibility for a single season ago is apparently too much. I've
written a few scripts for it but you can only do so much when the game files
aren't on github -.-
